ANGLE graphics backend bugged on Windows #37

Closed etil2jz closed 1 year ago

etil2jz commented 2 years ago

When trying to set #use-angle flag to OpenGL, after restart the browser is unusable and glitchy.

It occurs on M107.0.5256.0 build but was working fine on M106.0.5199.0 one.

I'm downgrading to M106.0.5199.0 for the moment, there are graphical issues occuring during web navigation.

@etil2jz Interesting. What is your GPU. You should only set it to opengl with an nvidia gpu with the official proprietary drivers. Otherwise, use DX11, or just default.

Use DX9 for virtualbox, or very old GPUs

etil2jz commented 2 years ago

My GPU is a NVIDIA 1080 Ti and I'm using the official drivers.

@etil2jz Hmm. May just be a bug in this version. I am uploading a new version now. Try it. If the issue persists, then I will look deeper into it.

Because none of the Thorium patches affect the GPU/Rendering stack on Windows, except for adding HEVC support.

What`s the point of enabling this flag - performance?

Alex313031 commented 2 years ago

@necros2k7 Chromium tries to auto pick the backend for ANGLE (Almost Native Graphics Layer Engine), but you get better performance with OpenGL when using an nvidia gpu. Otherwise it is best to leave it alone unless you are using a virtual machine as stated above.

@Alex313031 I can confirm issue is fixed in latest build 👌

etil2jz commented 1 year ago

Reopening as it occurs again on 18th Release - M109.0.5362.0

Alex313031 commented 1 year ago

@etil2jz Try latest M111 release. Can you tell me if the issue persists.

etil2jz commented 1 year ago

Starting M110, the issue disappeared. Thank you!
