Engine Analysis not working on browser

Sort:
sddnly

My engine analysis has not been working on browser on either my laptop or desktop computers for several weeks. As shown below, the engine will continue thinking indefinitely and never show any moves. Game review DOES work. Analysis DOES work on my phone (Chess.com mobile app). I have already tried clearing cookies multiple times, nothing seems to fix the problem. Any suggestions?

Try clearing your browser cache. If that doesn't help, try clearing the browser local storage.

Other things to try is loading the Analysis in a private/incognito window and/or testing other engines.

I have tried clearing the browser cache. Now there is nothing to even clear for chess.com in the browser's local storage. Still, the analysis does not work. I tried it in an incognito window and it DID work. Wtf?

There's a separate process to clear the local storage. Basically there's an issue with the engine files that were downloaded and they need to be refreshed. Loading incognito gives a blank slate to that storage.

Greetings. I had a similar problem, where the engine didn't work at all. It worked again after I logged out from my account and logged in again.
