For quite some time there's been a weird bug/glitch in the form of a grey screen suddenly appearing while playing the MMO Tanki Online. The battle continues and you can hear sounds of it still, but there's nothing you can do or see anymore because of the screen that turned grey...
This is a known bug/glitch and the game devs from @AlternativaPlatform are working hard to fix this as we speak! They may have the issue located, but in order to be sure and be able to fix this, they need feedback from all of you Tankers that play on Armor Games.
If you could provide data on the bug/glitch when/if you experienced it, we could help them fight it and -ultimately- kill it! We're aiming for your ammunition to shoot this enemy out of their tracks and into oblivion!
If you could help us, we'd be ever so grateful to you! Thanx!
Thanks, @MrDayCee for creating the topic and introducing the issue to everyine. Wasn't you thinking about Starship Troopers (kill the bug!) while writing the penultimate paragraph?
Indeed, there's an issue, which is quite rare actually and thus hard to be reproduced. But we'd like to fix it asap anyway! To speed up the process, we're asking those of you who faced this problem to share the information about the circumstances in which the glitch appeared.
We'd really appreciate if you could answer few questions:
1) What's your OS?
2) What's your browser version?
3) What's your version of Adobe Flash?
4) When did the gray screen appear - right after loading of the map, few seconds later or that's random?
5) Did you use mouse controls? If so, did you click the mouse?
6) Which map did you join the battle on?
7) Which gun did you use?
1) OS : Windows 7
2) Browser Version : FireFox 40.0.2
3) Adobe Flash Version : 18,0,0,232

From what I can see, the constant variables in these (aside from the gun and hull used) are:
- During a Respawn
- When pressing forward movement key (W) at the same time when
- Moving the mouse to the left
I suspect this is where the problem is located...

Same problem as @MrDayCee. I've a grey screen at the same time : Respawn on map after being killed.
Regardless of my gun or my hull, map, numbers of players, fps or ping
I just make a game of one hour in Rio CTF. I've 6 gray screen time. need reload game and re-enter in the party. cumulative points at about 1400. But since the game has been relaunched 150pts gain, crystal ..... 50. amazing.

@holydemon00 Thank you for the feedback! There seems to be a mixup though... OS means 'Operating System', as in Windows 7 or 8, ot Apple, etc. And the FireFox 40.0.3 is the browser version you're using.
Windows 10
Windows Explorer or sometimes Google Chrome

Mainly it happens in the middle of the game.
No mouse.
Last map Kungur and before ???.
Twins.
It is probably related to that, yes... I've seen it happen a lot when my FPS and ping are low. Maybe when using wi-fi for your connection makes it worse, so I suggest a cable connection at all times for these type of games.
As you know, we've had a long fight with the grey screen bug. We can imagine how dissapointed you were every time when it appeared, and we feel very sorry for the inconvenience it caused. Please, take our apologizes for this.
Fortunately, we finally managed to define the reason of the bug, and released a fix this morning. Internal tests have shown positive results, all that remains is to hear your feedback.
