Firefox 39 + Spine animation render issues

[darie.picu]

Hi,

 

We have spine animations (http://esotericsoftware.com/) that we display using Pixijs. We use https://github.com/pixijs/pixi-spine to read the spine data and display the animation using Pixijs. 

 

It works great in most browsers but we have experienced an issue in Firefox 39:

 

 

 

 

Weird thing is that we tested on different computers with Firefox39 and the issue is shown only on some of the computers. All computers ran Windows7.

 

I am not sure what to do about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Thanks,

Darie

You might get a better response for pixi-spine if you post on the repo. They might have encountered this issue before:

Good luck!

Thank you for the reply, I will be asking them.

I doubt that it is an issue with pixi-spine since pixi-spine "only" reads the spine data and creates display objects and adds tweens to them.

Hi, 

 

The problem seems to be related to transparency. 

If I do:
var renderer = PIXI.autoDetectRenderer(800, 600, {transparent: true});

Then I get the horrible visual glitches.

If I take out the {transparent:true} bit:

var renderer = PIXI.autoDetectRenderer(800, 600);

Then everything is fine. 

 

Here is a page that reproduces the issue:

Alternatively, if you want the project:

Thanks,

If that is true and it only happens in FF 39 and not elsewhere, it sounds like a brower bug

I updated my video driver and now it works fine...

 

This is not the solution to this problem though as I do not think people regularly update their video drivers

Unfortunately this is a problem with any graphics software. Native solutions can check for blacklisted drivers and prompt for an upgrade but unfortunately we can't do that with web. All you can do is have help articles and support for if it happens :/
