What did help in the end was clearing the cache folder. Go to "Users\\AppData\Roaming\Slack" and delete everything that is there. "AppData" folder is hidden so you'd have to show hidden files or use command line to get there. It should help. Posting it here hoping it would help someone in the future and save them some time.pphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15249272175688101793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2954599828653276291.post-60157379656680090422016-07-21T18:24:43.270+02:002016-07-21T18:24:43.270+02:00did not work for me..really annoying. did not work for me..really annoying.

Slack for Windows 1.2.7 deci...THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!<br />Slack for Windows 1.2.7 decided it wasn't going to connect any more. "Check for Updates..." claimed I had the latest version though. I was suspicious so I uninstalled it and downloaded it fresh, which brought me to 2.0.1... but that just wouldn't render properly at all and would flash blocks of black and blocks of white and scattered crosshairs and stuff. Got it to connect, but it would stutter between rendering properly and flashing to a total black screen.<br />Changing my shortcut to include this switch made these problems go away. :D<br />I notice that there's a "Disable hardware acceleration" checkbox in Preferences now, which likely does the same thing as the command-line switch (but doesn't do much good if someone's rendering errors are so poor that they can't really get that far, heh). It says "If you use a Windows Classic theme, this can resolve rendering issues", but I'm using the full Windows 10 experience so I'm not sure why that particular text was chosen...<br />Anyway. There's nothing on the Slack support page about this, which there probably should be until this issue is resolved (seems like it might be upstream)Grankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01520494261838517140noreply@blogger.com
