  Yesterday I did a Windows update and a Google Chrome update, when I went to play the game my screen would flicker,  I was about to give up when I went to Google help and found others having the same problem.

  The solution was, In Google go to settings, then advance, then system and uncheck  Use hardware acceleration when available.

  Tried that and worked.  Thx for that info :)

  I checked this today since I use Chrome.  I did not let Chrome perform the latest update and I have no problems but I did see the issue listed in Chrome Help and they suggested the same advice as listed by Woodoworkery.  

  For now, I think I will hold off on updating Chrome and see if they fix this issue without introducing a worse one!!

  I tried everything with no success finally downloaded Chrome Canary which fixed the blinking and also left me with the smoothest meter I've ever had ( :

  It is just a simpler version of chrome.
