<![CDATA[WebGL Renderer Blurry]]>I haven't been using the WebGL renderer because compared to the SVG renderer, the output is very blurry. I much prefer the sharp/crisp/clean SVG renderer.

Is this a bug?

I'm on a 2560x1600 screen, maybe the textures being used in the WebGL version are too low res?

What is your renderer: size value in WebGL metrics?

WebGL is totally blurry for me. Its ok... ish... but i cant use it for long without switching back to the original graphics due to the fact its just not that easy to look at. Im not sure what features wont be supported in the future, maybe they will only be minor and nothing to worry about. However my current preferred method of playing screeps is with WebGL turned off as my eyes just cant take it.

Just trying to read the text and the blurry outlines of everything. Im my oppinion this needs a bit more work to:

  1. Make it sharper.
  2. Make it run smoother on machines without dedicated graphics cards. or...
  3. Continue to support the standard graphics moving forward.

Perhaps the options to disable some features will help. But its not the 'glowing' that bothers me but the blur. shrugs

Try clearing your browser cache or something like that, because this blurry should not be the case anymore. Also, make sure you don't use zooming in your browser (i.e. scale is 100%).

renderer: size value in WebGL metrics

How do I check?

By the way, if you have zooming enabled in your browser, try setting it back to 100%.

The interesting thing is that this machine has an nVidia 980M in it, but WebGL is using the integrated card. This is Chrome on Windows 10.

]]>http://screeps.com/forum/post/8881http://screeps.com/forum/post/8881Invalid Date<![CDATA[Reply to WebGL Renderer Blurry on Invalid Date]]>@shedletsky Yes, it is described in the top of this thread. So, if you switch to NVIDIA, the issue is solved?

]]>http://screeps.com/forum/post/8882http://screeps.com/forum/post/8882Invalid Date<![CDATA[Reply to WebGL Renderer Blurry on Invalid Date]]>@artch yes it is much better if I manually tell nVidia to use graphics hardware to draw graphics. #Windows10

]]>http://screeps.com/forum/post/8885http://screeps.com/forum/post/8885Invalid Date<![CDATA[Reply to WebGL Renderer Blurry on Invalid Date]]>Sorry I have been preoccupied and unable to respond.

I got a chance to look at it today, and whilst I am sure it is better than before, when comparing to my screen shot above, it is still noticeably less crisp than the legacy graphics. However, that said, with the updates, and new options I can get it to a state where I'm really quite happy with it. So consider me appeased!

It seems as if the text is a lot clearer now which was one of my major pain points. If something was done there, cheers! Perhaps it was just something not up to date on my client, if so, apologies. Rookie mistake.

One last thing - we've added devicePixelRatio metric in the latest update, could you please check what is the value in your case?

]]>http://screeps.com/forum/post/8889http://screeps.com/forum/post/8889Invalid Date<![CDATA[Reply to WebGL Renderer Blurry on Invalid Date]]>@artch

Is the pixel ratio the aspect ratio of the pixels? On my screen it should be 1, but I get 1.1

I'm very sensitive to circles not being round. There doesn't seem to be any stretching going on visually.

Better to make it 100% since our engine cannot guarantee precise sprite rendering with floating point devicePixelRatio, best results are with 1, 2, 3, etc.
