    Having the same problem. Which browser do you use?  Google Chrome has the black/flicker issue for me, but Firefox works like normal. Not a fix, but a work-around. Still hoping for a Chrome fix.

    Thank-you!! Mine has been doing that since yesterday, so I logged in with Internet Explorer instead of Chrome and it's working fine. Thank you so much!

    I have the same thing you have. It's annoyed too to see the game look like this. Please fix for all of us having the same problem immediately. Thanks.

    Larry Miller suggested to use INternet explorer instead of Chrome and it worked for me! Thanks Larry.

    I contacted king.com and here was their reply to me. I tried the disabling hardware acceleration which worked for me.

    I am so happy.  I found an answer, first by checking here and finding that it is a problem and not part of the game. I was using Chrome to play and it was flashing on me. Seeing the technicians here say to try the mobile app to keep playing, I tried going over to Microsoft Edge and it worked.  I'm still doing research on fixing the issue with Chrome, I'll keep you posted, but the workaround is great and now I'm not quite so frustrated.

    It's not really an answer but I switched to IE and it works fine. It's a solution until they fix chrome. Edge on my PC cannot connect to the internet just like the store apps....I can't figure that out....online help wanted$149.95 for do a "advanced troubleshooting". I will live w/o Edge then.

    Disabling acceleration does not help...just so you know!
