Falls back to CANVAS renderer

[PLAYERKILLERS]

Noticed that the game was a bit jumpy on an old laptop. Upon further examination, failIfMajorPerformaceCaveat was causing this behavior. In a previous version this was not the case.

[obiot]

yes, but at that point it's either you set `failIfMajorPerformaceCaveat` to false and games won't work on some linux platform (this was one of the issue in the past), or true but then windows machines that don't have a good enough WebGL driver implementation will fallback to canvas.... unless you have a good idea, not much more I can do about this to be honest...

Merry Christmas Obiot! Thanks for the years of support.

Was there a change in the GL implementation? I noticed that it was slower even when I bypassed this behavior.

There was a point when it worked fine, although I could probably do with a total rewrite of the game's entity code as well. I haven't updated this game in awhile now. I've just been updating the game library.

there were a massive rewrite in the version 8 compared to version 7 yes, with better detection and fallback to canvas, and also WebGL2 support, so you should actually see performances improvement   

but this might be linked the the below changes on older computer with 2 GPU, as browser are all switching to a low-power mode by default, as opposed to the previous "high-performance"

• Renderer : allow specifying the default powerPreference value for the WebGL Renderer (on Safari and Chrome 80+ default is now low-power)

see here for the WebGL specs : https://www.khronos.org/registry/webgl/specs/latest/1.0/

my pleasure and merry Christmas to you too ! I have done anything in a while, between moving house and holiday period, I;ll only be back in January
