New MV Project Lags in Chrome Only

[ashes999 13]

Hi,

 

I created a new MV project -- no plugins, just a sample town map. When I run it in the built-in play tester, it runs fine. On Firefox, it runs fine. On Chrome, it runs noticably slow (about 2x as slow as normal -- 30FPS instead of 60FPS).

 

When I walk around, in Chrome, the FPS drops as low as 15FPS sometimes (but usually hovers around 30). When I open the menu, it jumps up to around 45-50FPS. I tried running Chrome without any plugins/extensions, but the behaviour didn't change.

 

Game.rpgproject cites the version as 1.3.3.

 

I'm pretty sure it's not GPU-based, because other browsers/etc. are fine. I'm pretty sure my GPU drivers are also at the latest version.

 

Below is a dump of chrome://gpu/, if that's useful.

 

I'm worried that if it lags for me, it might lag for my end-users, too.

Since MV runs different from ACE, it doesn have alot of known lag issues.

 

I am assuming "Chrome City" is a big map with alot of events running. Since MV uses Javascript to allow it to run on browsers, there are known lag issues with it (especially with audio).

I don't think theres a fix for it however, but the MV developers are still working on fixes to try help improve this aspect.

 

Only thing I could suggest just now would be maybe looking up system plugins. Some scripters have made some performance plugins, so maybe there might be one to help you.

It's a vanilla MV map (Normal Town) with no changes. There are no events.

 

It seems like it's slow out-of-the-box in Chrome. I don't understand why (or how to fix it).

 

30FPS IMO is not that bad, but compared to 60, it "feels" slow, like you're moving in slow motion.

I got this.

 

On the same machine, when running in my native browser, it renders with WebGL, at 30FPS.

 

On that same machine, in an Ubuntu VM, it renders with Canvas at 60FPS.

 

Is there any way I can force MV to disable running WebGL and always run with canvas rendering? I'm probably not the only person whose GPU works worse with WebGL than it does with Canvas rendering.

I don't know about disabling it game-wide but a client-wide fix for Chrome would be something like https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/disable-webgl/nlapleiepodflfbclacdhmbldadobpah

 

For me I fixed the same issue by updating my graphics drivers.
