Choppy frames when running in Chrome ( MacOS )

[designspin]

Hi,

I Recently discovered Pixi JS and have to say, I am a big fan. For a first project with the framework I thought I would create something fairly simple and go for a breakout type clone. The whole thing works super smooth in Safari and Firefox on my iMac, but for some reason I get intermittent choppy frames when using Chrome. I thought Chrome was supposed to be the boss of web browsers, so it was a surprise to see this!

I have started to look at the profiler ( attached recording ), but according to this my frame rate is good! Unless I am mis-reading something? From what I understand, this kind of effect could also be caused by GC, but I am not really sure how to get the info from this data.

If anyone can throw me a line here it would be greatly appreciated. I suppose I could try deploying the project somewhere or sharing my git repo if need be?

Many Thanks.

Do you have any strange extensions installed in chrome?

Hi Ivan,

Thanks for your reply, I did disable all my extensions and unfortunately it appears to of made no difference!

As an experiment I thought I would try running my game through Capacitor Electron plugin, seems to work fine and I believed that uses Chromium. So this must be something going on with my machine I reckon!

I'll test elsewhere later and come back here if I need assistance.

Thanks.

I managed to get a look at my game running on a PC using Chrome today, super smooth!
