It is slow

Hardware acceleration, what to switch off, memory, 3D dice and mobile when the table stutters.

A table with dynamic light, fog, particles and 3D dice asks a lot of the browser. When it stutters it is almost always one of three things: the browser draws in software instead of using the graphics card, the page is short of memory, or more effects are on than the device can take. This page tells you how to find out which one it is and what to switch off.

Where it is

The performance settings are in Settings, Appearance section, under Performance (details in Look, themes and performance). The acceleration notice appears on its own at the table when the browser has no hardware graphics.

3D dice and the map stutter

If you see "Hardware acceleration is turned off.", the browser is drawing with the processor and not with the graphics card. The notice explains that 3D dice and the map will stutter until you turn it on. To fix it:

On Windows, install or update the graphics card driver (NVIDIA, AMD or Intel) from the manufacturer's site. Turning on browser acceleration is not enough without a driver.
In the browser, turn on hardware acceleration in its system settings and restart it.
Open the browser's graphics status page (in Chrome, chrome://gpu): it should say "Hardware accelerated". If it says your card is blocklisted, updating the driver fixes that too.
If you connect through remote desktop or from a virtual machine, having no acceleration is expected: use Use 2D dice.

Switching off what weighs most

Performance has three modes: Automatic, Light and Quality. On a modest device, pick the light one. Below it there is a switch for each heavy thing:

Setting	What it cuts
Animated light and shadows	Animated light and map shadows
Particles and weather	Particles and weather
Background video	Background video
Map animation	Map animation
3D dice	3D dice
Lower quality on its own if the table stutters	Lowers the quality by itself when it stutters

To find out what weighs in your table, turn on FPS and memory meter on the table for a few minutes: it shows frames per second and memory over the table.

The tab runs out of memory or reloads by itself

A huge map, many videos and several tabs use up memory. Close the tabs you do not use, avoid keeping the table open in two windows of the same browser and, if you run games, lower the weight of the map images (the library serves them already reduced, but a map of tens of megapixels still costs). On a phone, turn on light mode and close other apps.

On mobile

The table on a phone uses less HUD and more sheets (The table on mobile and tablet). If it struggles: light mode, 2D dice, no background video and the phone's browser up to date. The installable apps are explained in Mobile, tablet and installed app.
