**Platform, device version and operating system:**  
Samsung Chromebook  
**Screenshot or image:**  
Can upload video upon request.  
**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:**  
Clicking on an ad off the world map should result in the ad popup. Instead the UI is bugged and crashes the game.  
**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**  
Started happening tonight around 6 pm central on my alt A W Ryan II. I tried it 5 times and it crashed every time.

**Steps to make it happen again**  
See above.

Still happening. It seems that account is “lucky” enough to be the only one experiencing it. All 6 other accounts can still access ads just fine… For now I guess. Seems odd to have that one account be the only “bug”.

Fixed it by watching the ad on another device and then coming back to my Chromebook 8 hours later.
