]]>http://screeps.com/forum/post/8656http://screeps.com/forum/post/8656Invalid Date<![CDATA[Reply to New improved WebGL renderer on Invalid Date]]>I'm getting a couple of bugs.

The controller isn't showing the upgrade progress. 0_1508506155414_e9b911ef-c9d7-44fa-9290-400739ffd5c7-image.png

And towers don't show the energy level or point to face the target. 0_1508506228565_596bf064-d5ae-4f6d-99d3-847eb8fdb70a-image.png

Other than those 2 issues I love the new renderer great work!

Q: My Screeps runs slow on the new webGL version (low FPS)

A: It might be related to the graphics card your PC.

You can check which card is used by enabling the "Show renderer metrics"

There is a section called GPU there which will display what graphics card is used. An example of this can be:

ANGLE (Intel(R) HD Graphics 530 Direct3D11 vs_5_0 ps_5_0)

If this is not the main graphics card of your PC but the integrated graphics you can force your browser to use the correct settings as follows:

For NVIDIA:

Love the new look, will try it on my other devices later.

I seem to vary anywhere between 2 and 12 FPS constantly. Occasionally it just up to 55 or so, but only for a very short period.

  • Fixed broken tower animation
  • Fixed incorrect rotation of some creeps names
  • Fixed broken creep self-heal animation
  • Improved performance by caching GPU info

Known issues: See the top post.

I use the steam client if it matters. 0_1508530017238_nw_2017-10-20_16-05-56.png

Here's a couple. Each one caused the page to freeze until reload.

]]>http://screeps.com/forum/post/8667http://screeps.com/forum/post/8667Invalid Date<![CDATA[Reply to New improved WebGL renderer on Invalid Date]]>Also, I know you guys recommend Chrome but I'd really like to use Firefox instead and with this upgrade it looks like that's a lot more viable. Except! It seems like using the scroll wheel to zoom in/out is broken in Firefox. This applies to both world and room view, so I'm guessing there's some issue attaching to that hardware event?

Do you have room and tick number to reproduce this?

Yes, indeed. It's not related to WebGL though, but we'll add this to our backlog.

I was having a difficult time replicating and was trying to remember what was going on. Pretty sure some creeps were getting attacked by invaders and then healed back in the home room, so I had a turret attack a creep and voila!

]]>http://screeps.com/forum/post/8672http://screeps.com/forum/post/8672Invalid Date<![CDATA[Reply to New improved WebGL renderer on Invalid Date]]>@thaelina Please update and try to reproduce this again.

]]>http://screeps.com/forum/post/8673http://screeps.com/forum/post/8673Invalid Date<![CDATA[Reply to New improved WebGL renderer on Invalid Date]]>@artch Well it doesn't break now, but healing beams from turrets are invisible.

]]>http://screeps.com/forum/post/8674http://screeps.com/forum/post/8674Invalid Date<![CDATA[Reply to New improved WebGL renderer on Invalid Date]]>@hernanduer Indeed. Fixed.

]]>http://screeps.com/forum/post/8675http://screeps.com/forum/post/8675Invalid Date<![CDATA[Reply to New improved WebGL renderer on Invalid Date]]>On Linux, using the Steam client, it has horrible performance, listing WebGL as not supported. It works great in Chromium, but I can't play on private servers from the browser client.

Nuker seems to be offset to much, it looks to be placed in the pos below where it actually is, to me atleast. The rampart in the picture shows the actual position, but if you try to click the base of the nuker, you will select the wrong pos.

Edit: for reference, this is without the new graphics:

Zoomed out I get easy 60+fps but zoomed in it's down to 27-33. Nothing I can tell that's causing it except maybe swamp particles.

Sadly I didn't take a screenshot or try to analyze it but I'll get back to this if it occurs again.

UPDATE: It appears to be the spawn growing in size. It happened while I had windows locked but I am not sure if there is any connection to that. If I turn of WebGL renderer and turn it back on it resets back to normal.

  • Fixed incorrect positioning of creeps when switching tabs (needs testing, please report if it happens to you again after this update).
  • Fixed growing spawn animation.
  • Small graphics changes.

When you report a bug, please check the Known Issues list in the top post before to make sure it is not reported yet.
