Pieces not being animated anymore in bullet games

Self explanatory... Idk why but suddenly, when I play bullet, pieces are not being animated.

Been playing for a few years and this only started happening. I don't recall changing any settings.

Any way to fix it? It's very annoying, and makes it harder to follow what is happening: I may not see a piece move because everything is blocky, and not nice and fluid-like in other time controls.

That's interesting that it's only happening in bullet games. Try Settings > Board and Pieces > Animation Type and select a more appropriate setting

Animation type was already set to natural. I changed it to Fast and it made no difference.

In bullet games, the default speed for animation is "None" I am not aware of a way to change this.

I am not aware there are separate animation speeds for bullet/blitz/rapid/etc., nor do I see anywhere I can set animations for each time control category.

Regardless, my animation speed was set to Natural, and it had been natural for a number of years up until recently.

Anyway, I cleared my chess.com cache and cookies and that seems to have fixed it. Idk what caused it though.

ya same for me

same its very distracting

My understanding is that bullet was changed to no animation. I believe it's because animation take some time to do and it's meant to make bullet more responsive.

It would be great to have some kind of animation for bullet as I completely lose track when the pieces just teleport. I have the same opinion of youtuber's chess videos too - without animations my brain has to constantly work.

If you have move highlights on the squares will be highlighted.

What I don't understand is that in the mobile app it still has some kind of animation showing the pieces moving. I don't want to play on the phone so much but I really lose track when the pieces just "teleport " like that
