Frequently Asked Questions

I don't see my UI in builds!

If you see your UI in the editor, but not your builds, make sure that the SDF shader is added to the Always Included Shaders of your Graphics Settings. Please see the installation instructions.

This is the correct behaviour, please see the Quickstart page for more details.

I can't display widgets from a Job thread or a C# thread.

A command buffer API has not been introduced yet to allow you to draw widgets from a separate job thread.

Linear Colorspace looks more contrasted than Gamma Colorspace.

The SDF shader implements the formula:

color = pow(color, 2.2)

If there is a better way to convert linear colorspace into gamma colorspace, do let me know.

I can't use the static API in a Job! You said it supports DOTS!

The workflow is to typically call the static API in an OnUpdate loop. Native jobs support will come in much later and requires that all calls handle unmanaged memory. Currently all primary windows are managed objects, which is part of the reason why static APIs do not integrate nicely in Jobs specifically.

If you have a workflow in mind, do let me know so I can understand the workflow and so I can figure out a solution to cover various cases.

WebGL is pretty slow, what can I do?

If WebGL is slow and disabling NimGui causes your game to speed up, I would recommend taking a look at the memory settings in Edit -> Project Settings -> Player Settings -> Publishing Settings.

Here are the following settings I used to help reduce how much WebGL was allocating and to improve performance:

Initial Memory Size: 32
Memory Growth Mode: Linear
Maximum Memory Size: 2048
Linear Memory Growth Step: 16

Your mileage may vary and I am having difficulty tracking down what settings are causing web to specifically slow down.

Where do I submit bug reports?
