Chunked LOD Performance Issues in Web Client
Chunked LOD Performance Issues in Web Client
🕵️ WebGL Mystery Unfolds
Web Client Performance Update:
- Chunked LOD implemented in WebGL client
- Performance issues: 20 fps on web vs 90 fps in native app
- Not related to driver draw call overhead
- Update: 110 fps achieved with OpenGL ANGLE backend in Chrome
- Issue likely stems from D3D transpilers
- Next steps: 1. Dump transpiled shaders 2. Review for anomalies (tedious process)
Stay tuned for further developments as we work to optimize performance across platforms.
Got the chunked LOD working in web client (webgl). Unfortunately getting garbage performance of 20 fps (on this old GPU), whereas it renders at 90 fps in the native app. Not sure what's going on here as it's not driver draw call overhead.
