Love the browser, it's my dream browser, but it has a few niggling things that annoy me. For example, with Waterfox... i can restart the computer and it will keep me logged in on Youtube. With Epic, i have to go thru the google log in... over and over again... this is annoying. I want to like a video ... oh shoot, have to log in again. How come Waterfox just allows me to be logged in all the time and Epic doesnt? Same for Catawiki, Waterfox remembers the credentials, but with Epic i have to re-type everytime. There's a couple of sites where with Epic, i have to type in logins... where as with Waterfox it's so seamless.

Also wanted to say, thankyou for all the releases.... many years ago, when I started using Epic one and off it was a bit of a mess, sites would shut down and login problems with Ebay, kept getting the 'prove im a person' computer login game, as with other browsers it was seamless. But it's come along way since then. Thanks for keeping working on it.

Also, would be wonderful to have a Translate page (it does so automatically for each page) For example German Ebay. Waterfox has an extension TWP that does this so well. But for Epic I've not found anything that works as easily. If someone can recommend a better extension that automatically translate entire websites*? Or maybe this could be an Epic feature?

Thanks, all the best.

#3 Re: Epic Windows Bugs » Flashing Screen upon starting » 2023-04-21 09:24:24

Yep, disabling the Nvidia card fixed problem. When i enabled again, it was also fine, so fixed.... but when restarted whole computer, the problem returned.Tturning off hardware acceleration did nothing. I have noticed the flashes are worse when the computer is thinking more, so getting overloaded?

The new version of epic i used was whatever version was on the epic website a few days ago. But this problem appeared like 8 months ago (it's really hazy, the exact time im not sure), or something around there. I was using it fine and all of a sudden these flashes started, maybe epic updated? but they literally appeared out of nowhere. It was ok and bam all of sudden. Maybe it was after a windows update? Im not sure. Then i started using waterfox.

I quit using epic for the 3rd time then, actually i keep coming back to it and then have to leave for one reason or another, but then some of the bugs are fixed and i come back again and then there's other bug. But basically, ive tried pretty much every browser there is, used and tested, puffin, pale moon, firefox .. developer and beta editions, brave, chameleon, etc... loads of ones, maybe like 15 different ones. My favourites lately were librawolf and esp waterfox because it's so dynamic, waterfox is actually wonderful, can use extensions from chrome and firefox, sooth running, fast, pretty good privacy, except for ownership by system1. But, epic has this 'je ne sais quoi'... something, the way it looks, it's unique and the layout and the mission of course and dedication to privacy. So, i return to it and try to work with it.

For about 4-5 seconds it's loading the program and then flashing the white screen about 5-10 times. Maybe 8, i dont know, i dont exactly, just too many for my poor eyes. It's a blinding shot of white light. Every new tab i try to open at this time has the same flashing, it's just loading some display drivers for the browser i think thats when it's happening. After it's settled it's fine and never happens again for any reason.

I also have a newer alienware laptop where this isnt a problem, which uses a newer nvidia card.


Thanks for the help, all the best, hope the new update fixes it for use on ye olde machine smile
