PlayCanvas Editor Feedback

Newbie_Coder · September 10, 2022, 1:48pm

Hey, I want to ask if anything has been changed lately in editor/engine,
all projects in editor seem to freeze up my lap, it was all great a week ago

We did update the Editor to use Engine 1.56 on Thursday.

Would you be able to share the project that is giving you this error please? I can’t reproduce locally.

Also, what is your hardware spec?

For the short term try using Firefox

yaustar · September 10, 2022, 3:09pm

Dumb question from me, have you tried restarting your PC?

Newbie_Coder · September 10, 2022, 3:10pm

Every PlayCanvas project is causing same issue, before I was using Chrome all the time, thought graphic drivers got auto-updated, reinstallation/installing older version haven’t helped/made things worse

Firefox did solved this actaully
Using an old laptop with Intel HD 3000

Chrome:

× This browser supports WebGL 2, but it is disabled or unavailable.

Firefox

yaustar · September 10, 2022, 3:12pm

What CPU is it? Exact model number please? We did have an issue on the Discord where their 12 yo laptop also crashes when using Chrome and our Editor since 1.56 update.

Can you try

https://playcanvas.com/editor/scene/1364403?use_local_engine=https://code.playcanvas.com/playcanvas-1.55.1.js

and

https://playcanvas.com/editor/scene/1364403

And tell us which one works for you?

Newbie_Coder · September 10, 2022, 3:24pm

1.55.1 Does work fine on Chrome
Fiksavimas

Not sure if this would help, but sometimes (1 out of 10) editor throws this
Fiksavimas

yaustar · September 10, 2022, 3:29pm

Thanks for the information. It looks like it is related to the issue that a user reported on Discord where older hardware crashes the browser since 1.56 release

Our issue is that we can’t reproduce this locally unless we get our hands on old hardware or have some hardware lying around

For the short term, please continue to use Firefox.

yaustar · September 10, 2022, 3:32pm

Added to ticket: Opening a scene freezes PC and resets it with engine 1.56 · Issue #881 · playcanvas/editor · GitHub

Newbie_Coder · September 10, 2022, 3:32pm

Is there anything else I could do? Error logs, tests, etc?
Hello Firefox

Newbie_Coder · September 10, 2022, 3:34pm

console.log after launching editor
if that helps

yaustar · September 10, 2022, 3:35pm

Not right now as I can’t provide a version for you do tests with just yet but the error logs you are providing are a HUGE help, thank you

yaustar · September 10, 2022, 3:44pm

@Newbie_Coder Can you try using Chrome Canary please Chrome Canary features for developers – Google Chrome

Chrome Canary is a separate install and includes some of latest code changes for Chrome (think of it like a preview preview release of Chrome).

I just want to try to isolate if it’s related to a recent Chrome update

yaustar · September 10, 2022, 4:15pm

Can you also try https://playcanvas.com/editor/scene/1364403?use_local_engine=https://code.playcanvas.com/playcanvas-1.55.0.js with normal Chrome please as well?

Newbie_Coder · September 11, 2022, 10:40am

‘Normal’ Chrome fails on 1.55.0 as well, other Chromium-based browsers such as Brave, is failing with the new engine too

Canary - same results as normal Chrome

Note: Using default Microsoft’s basic graphics adapter driver instead of Intel HD 3000 (9.17.10.4459) solves freezing/crashes but gives a very low fps (0-5) in editor/live build

Also, seems like freezing/crashing is happening due to repetative function beeing executed as it eats up all the CPU usage and RAM usage is increasing too, no way a a blank project could eat up 8GB of memory

yaustar · September 11, 2022, 12:02pm

Thanks, that helps a lot as the Editor works for you in 1.55.1 but not 1.55.0 which narrows it down a lot.

mvaligursky · September 11, 2022, 4:37pm

Just looking at that Lenovo 4243PK4 - that seems to be a ThinkPad T520 from 2011. It seems many of them had nvidia card as well instead of just the intel - any chance you’d have that too?

Newbie_Coder · September 17, 2022, 1:52pm

Hi, just single - Intel

Newbie_Coder · November 23, 2022, 8:54am

Just a little update on the topic above, freshly installed Win 7 (drivers from manufacturer website) works fine with editor/engine, seems like these issues were related to drivers, as windows 10 tends to force install ‘latest’ drivers which may not be fully compatible with older devices

tuf · May 8, 2023, 12:30pm

Please for the love of everything that exists, make F2 the rename key like every other app in existence. Thank you so much.

Leonidas · May 8, 2023, 5:47pm

Hi @tuf and welcome,

It works already for entities in the hierarchy, select an entity and press F2. The name field will go into edit mode.

If you’re talking about assets then yes, it doesn’t work there. There is an open feature request here:
