Not a Bug: Game locking up since June 28th update

So, this has happened to me several times since the update for the summer event. Basically the game locks up completely, with no responsiveness, and even the timer on the casino tab stops moving.

Now, unless you really pay attention to the game when you tab over to it you won't notice this for hours. Personally I just have FoE running in the background, checking quickly now and then if anything needs to be collected. If the crate icon isn't there I just move on without looking more closely.

I can't figure out what's causing it, though. The game will remain responsive through a night of maxing out my connection on a heavy download, then lock up while I'm reading a few webcomics.

Does anyone else have problems with this? I've tried restarting Chrome, tried rebooting entirely, but it keeps happening.

I've noticed HUGE lag when I try to move things occasionally, it clears temporarily by clicking off the move cursor and then fully clears with a relog.

Yes I've been having this problem since that update. Before the update all was ok. Now I find I have to refresh the screen many times in the day as the game has frozen. If I go look at some other website the game will freeze more often than not when I come back to it. I also experience massive lags when moving buildings around - to the point where everything freezes and I just have to refresh the game. It seems to build up - at first things are normal, but after a while the game starts to freeze and lags are experienced.

The reason for this issue is that in the last Chrome version (v59), the screen is being ‘cached’, so in certain circumstances, for instance when you switch tabs and then switch back, it can happen that the game appears frozen. In fact, it's 'just' the cached screen. Underneath, the game is running and it’s fully functional, it just doesn't visualize it in the browser. This is a Chrome issue, rather than a game issue and has been reported to Chrome. In some cases, resizing the browser or opening the console (F12) may be a workaround.
