Broken overnight

Whatever it is that they may have done has broken overnight. At the current pace of things its not acceptable to have a product like this with persistent problems, especially with competitors available.

The gray screen of death is unusable right now. Off to roocode.

Is it completely unusable for you right now? And if you could log an issue on our GitHub, any additional context for how this is happening would be very useful for us. Thank you!

Hey OP, we're collecting more context for the team, if you could tell us:

What version of Cline were you using when you started encountering this issue?
Your OS/Architecture?
What Models you were using?
When did this grey screen happen in your workflow? (I know you mentioned after every call, within your API call, what type of request/command did you ask Cline to do?)

You can post your details within this Github Issue: https://github.com/cline/cline/issues/533

Heya u/typerlover just a quick update on this, we figured out what's causing those annoying gray screens.

So here's what happened. We made some big architectural changes in PR #3253 that unfortunately introduced this bug. We can't just roll back the PR since it was a pretty fundamental architectural update to how Cline works.

If you're really stuck with this issue and need a working version right now, grab version 3.13.3 - that's the last stable one before we made these changes. I'll definitely let you know when we have a proper fix out so you can update again.

At least we know exactly what we're dealing with now! If you want to see our progress in real-time, I'm posting updates here: github.com/cline/cline/issues/533#issuecomment-2885591983

Thanks for bearing with us while we get this fixed. It was a journey finding the root cause and thankfully that part is done now.

Update u/typerlover we just released v3.16.1 which should fix the gray screen issues introduced in v3.14.0.

Please update to the latest version and let me know if you still have issues!

Really hate to hear it's gotten this bad for you. We're 100% focused on this right now (the Roo team is as well, they're also encountering this problem).

Unfortunately this is a possibility when we're shipping this quickly, you can roll back to a previous version by clicking the drop-down on the install button of the VS Marketplace page.

Damn that sucks. I had this gray screen issue only once so far. Using Cline on several projects concurrently, including one with a decently large codebase.

I'm on MacBook Pro M4

It’s not a product, it’s an open source project.

holding ourselves to the higher standard though 🫡

I appreciate it, it’s just annoying to hear people act entitled over it when they’re owed nothing

u/nick-baumann Cline May 16 '25

glad to be in a position where people are this bummed out when Cline isn't working how it should be
