WebGL Field

Right Ladies and Gents here is a nice wee bit of grass to test you're web browser.
http://webglsamples.org/field/field.html

Here is the options found in the top left on the page:

You can either test each one yourselves or you can right click in the middle of the screen highlight Encoding & click on Auto-Select.


If you can view this field no problem then you should have no problem connecting to the race in iGP Open Beta.

Shame Firefox doesn't like it :|

12 FPS with default settings in Firefox

After about 4 hours of trying this & that got an extra 14FPS

set pdfjs.enableWebGL to true
set webgl.force-enabled to true.
set webgl.enable-debug-renderer-info to true
set layers.acceleration.force-enabled to true
set gfx.direct2d.force-enabled to true

So now the mighty Firefox is spitting out 26FPS, it is just useless lol. well on my laptop it is anyways.
Internet Explorer does 30FPS
Microsoft Edge is 50FPS

This is all gobbledegook to me, but just tried it anyway... With "many" highlighted I got 29FPS on Edge and 9FPS on firefox... This is on a cheap and cheerful(?) Windows tablet. So, would these low figures explain why I haven't been able to view a race yet on beta?

Might be I would say iGP it pushing it out at 30fps the same as they are here with java.
But then it is setup for a fone don't think it would be running at 30fps

done quick search the iPhone does 1080p high-def video at 30, 60 or 120 fps and 720p video at 30 or 240 fps.
phone is better than my laptop lol

These wee quotes are handy for making people say things they didn't say! SORRY Jack

Everyone got a problem with firefox, while on me, firefox got the best.
With "many" highlighted, Firefox got 30 FPS
Internet explorer around 27 FPS
While Chrome got rekt :(

Still hoping I can watch my beta race tonight.

What browser has been the most reliable throughout for everyone. I have been limited to IE and Chrome so far, with no success to open a live race. I am going to try Firefox today, with fingers and toes crossed.

We are opening a can of worms here bring back java :P
Here is the list you just use the one that best works on your computer.

My desktop computer
Chrome 60fps
Firefox 60fps
Opera 60fps
IE 60fps
Edge 60fps

all on lots :)

I just see a gray screen. :(

Grey screen means you have something conflicting with webgl or you have not enabled it.

Enabling WebGL:

Chrome

First, enable hardware acceleration:
•Go to chrome://settings
•Click the + Show advanced settings button
•In the System section, ensure the Use hardware acceleration when available checkbox is checked

Then enable WebGL:
•Go to chrome://flags
•Ensure that Disable WebGL is not activated

Then inspect the status of WebGL:
•Go to chrome://gpu
•Inspect the WebGL item in the Graphics Feature Status list.

If the status is not "Hardware accelerated", then WebGL will not work.

If your graphics card/drivers are blacklisted, you can override the blacklist. To override the blacklist:
•Go to chrome://flags
•Activate the Override software rendering list setting (you'll need to relaunch Chrome for any changes to take effect)

Firefox

First, enable WebGL:
•Go to about:config
•Search for webgl.disabled
•Ensure that its value is false

Then inspect the status of WebGL:
•Go to about:support
•Inspect the WebGL Renderer row in the Graphics table

If your graphics card/drivers are blacklisted, you can override the blacklist. To override the blacklist:
•Go to about:config
•Search for webgl.force-enabled
•Set it to true (you'll need to relaunch Firefox for any changes to take effect)

(Like Chrome, Firefox has a Use hardware acceleration when available checkbox, in Preferences > Advanced > General > Browsing. However, unlike Chrome, Firefox does not require this checkbox to be checked for WebGL to work.)

Safari

•Go to Safari's Preferences
•Select the Advanced tab
•Ensure that the Show Develop menu in menu bar checkbox is checked
•In Safari's Develop menu, ensure that Enable WebGL is checked

Opera

•Go to Opera://flags
•Search for Hardware Acceleration
•Set to enable
•Search for WebGL
•Set to enable (you'll need to relaunch Opera for the changes to take effect)

Thank you for the help!, I followed your Firefox advice and set everything to the options you mentioned. But i still see a gray screen. Does this mean i won't be able to play the new IGP?, In Firefox atleast. I'll bookmark this page and try a couple other browsers. But once the new IGP gets out of beta, would i be better off just using a tablet?

Firefox try setting layers.acceleration.force-enabled and gfx.direct2d.force-enabled both to true also see if it makes any difference.
You can also write a new boolean (right click & new) webgl.angle.force-d3d9 and set it to true but you will get blurred images like I do. :(

And me messing around with settings trying this and that has made me 40minutes late for my race here & I have no setup loaded :D

Sorry! lol

I'm no worried, long as I don't finish in the last two at the end of the season I'm doing well ;)

The very kind guy's at iGP have rewrote the coding for the viewer & even old systems show high quality images now :)
