Open person4268 opened 6 months ago

Describe the bug Since some advantagescope version that I unfortunately do not remember, the 3d field does not render properly, and is just blank. The flatpak version of advantagescope I can verify works perfectly fine.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open the 3d field.
  2. Observe nonfunctionality

Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

Additional context

This is a known problem with Nvidia GPUs (on Wayland) and electron based apps. A workaround for now is to launch advantage scope with the "--use-gl=desktop" flag. This will most likely result in lag because it uses the CPU however a laggy field is better than no field.

Update: the problem seems to be introduced by Chromium setting the UseOzonePlatform variable to be false by default. However, similarly to my previous post, you can override this change by passing two flags when starting advantage scope. advantagescope --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland. This should fix the rendering problem and use your GPU, instead of just disabling it.
