Games crash on ROG Ally due to faulty game modifications, static VRAM settings, background apps causing compatibility issues, an outdated GPU driver, a disabled FPS limiter, an outdated BIOS, pilled-up shader cache files, or too high resolution for demanding games. How to fix games crashing on ROG Ally?

The solution should be easy, let’s just use doubles in all of our shaders! Doubles in Shaders. The rest of the shader is in camera space, so we don’t need the extra precision. The MODELVIEW_MATRIX is assembled in the vertex shader by combining the object’s MODEL_MATRIX and the camera’s VIEW_MATRIX. So how does it work?

Godot uses a considerably different approach to rendering (and rendering abstraction) than other, popular, game engines. Running the whole graphics rendering in a separate thread. Ability to completely reimplement all rendering code if desired, without changing the underlying game. Shader abstraction.

To support these various technologies, game developers have had to integrate multiple SDKs, often with varying integration points and compatibility. It sits between the game and render API, and abstracts the SDK-specific API calls into an easy-to-use Streamline framework. Learn more about Kickstart RT.

WebGL, or Web Graphics Library, is a powerful technology that allows developers to create high-performance 3D graphics and games that run directly in the browser without the need for plugins. Working with shaders and optimizing game performance are some of the primary methods used in WebGL game development.

If a shader is applied to them, or if transparency is changed, the effect is applied to every node individually, given they each do it in their own draw call. Custom shaders can be used with CanvasGroup to also apply effects like drop shadows or glows to a group of objects as a single one, greatly enhancing the flexibility of the 2D engine.

GTA 5 stuttering is often caused by an outdated GPU driver, lack of hardware resources due to an old PC or apps running in the background, lack of memory space, bugs with wireless controllers, and faulty game files.

Let's hope this implementation will also be of use to others making their own technology or engines, so they can use it as reference or just copy it.

It feels great to be back to doing graphics programming after two months refactoring the core engine.

we decided to accept that the approach we took from the start was simply not the right one and decided to remove it from the engine. To be clear, this refers to the VisualScript scripting language, and not to visual shaders. Visual shaders are working well and appreciated by many users, so they're not going anywhere.
