App shows blank screens, stops playing, has to be force quit

My Question or Issue

Spotify shows blank screens/infinite loaders after 2-3 navigations. The app then also stops playing any music or ad (if it has to do a network request) and the only solution is to force quit it and restart it.

However it obviously is a temporary solution and the cycle starts over.

I obviously googled it before and nothing worked. I tried:

- to reinstall the app

- (implicitly) to restart the computer

- to deactivate hardware acceleration (since it caused issues in other Chromium-based apps, too)

Thanks in advance for any replies ❤️

Hey @DoIEvenMatter, Welcome to the Community.

Hope you're doing great!

Does this happen in the latest version of macOS, macOS Mojave 10.14.2?

I'd also recommend that during the reinstallation to clear and remove and folders and files left when uninstalling Spotify first. Check here for more.

Hope it helps 🙂
