Tanki freezes when minimized

[Jwimmer 2,835]

I play tanki on the client. Every once in a while, when I minimize tanki to pull up another program or change songs, the game will freeze. It then takes about 1 minute to close after I click the red x in the top right, and when I reload, I am no longer in the game. I was just in a parkour game with a jump hacker, and closed tanki to open my screen recorder. Opened tanki back up, and it was frozen.

 

My computer specs:

Intel core i5 1.70 GHz

500 GB HDD

128 GB SSD (Using the optical drive slot and a special tray to hold it)

8 GB RAM

 

I clear cache regularly (once a week). Also, if I leave tanki minimized for a long time (1.5 hours+), when I get back, the game is unresponsive, and chat is not updating. I have to restart the client to be able to click anything.

 

Screenshot shows how the game looks when it does this. It happens most often when I quickly minimize, do something, and reopen. My computer almost completely freezes up for 1 or 2 seconds, and then it becomes responsive again.

Check out this article if you're having any problems with the client. If the problem persists, run the game on a web browser or Standalone Flash Player instead.

Its obviously a bug with the client being unable to run in the background, it'll probably be fixed in a future update. Meanwhile, if you must minimise your game occasionally use Standalone flash or a browser.

Yes I also have this issue.

 

Instead try to put all the programs you need onto your task bar down the bottom, then as you need them you just need to click there. The trick is that you can open other programs in front of the Client, but you can't minimize the client its self.

Try using CCleaner.

The procedure takes a few seconds and you do not need to go to the settings of your browser. You can download CCleaner here.

Once the installation is complete, open the program and click the Applications tab. Find your browser there and check the Internet Cache and Cookies boxes, click “Run Cleaner.”

I already use it reguarlly, and the problem persists anyways. I have redownloaded it and not had any problems yet, but we will see in the next few days.

The classic dad advice. "If it hurts, don't do it!"

4 day later update:

I completely deleted and redownloaded the client, and have not had problems with it since then. I haven't been playing too heavily, but still enough to make me think the problem is solved. I will provide more updates in a while.

Since its resolved, the topic will probably be closed.
