My version of Chrome updated to 114.0.5735.198 (Official Build) (64-bit) (Ubuntu 22.04) and this has started introducing render artifacts. Does anyone else see these?
The dark patches on the ends shouldn’t be there. It happens in my engine too with all sorts of different objects loaded. If I disable the environment map lighting and switch to just an ambient light it’s not there any longer.
Presumably this kind if thing is resolved with a bug report to chrome?
Yep I see it working fine on this machine on Chromium 114.0.5735.106. Seems it’s just Chrome that shows the issue. Interesting that it’s limited to Ubuntu and not apparent on Windows. I tried a couple of different NVidia drivers too with no change.
NVIDIA is notoriously known for its problematic compatibility with Linux (closed-source drivers, lack of documentations, no instructions…). Try to switch the display server at the login page (the icon at the bottom right), not sure but Wayland should be the most compatible.
I switched away from wayland again a few weeks ago because it’s a total disaster with my laptop/screen/devices combo and thankfully Chrome had been fixed and the artifact had gone. I just updated to the new version though and it is back.
