Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Canvas Basic and Canvas Plus?
Canvas Basic mimics vanilla rendering for maximum frame rate, whereas Canvas Plus enables shader enhancements and balanced post-processing options under Select a Pipeline.
How do you disable handheld dynamic lighting in Canvas Renderer?
Open Canvas Renderer Configuration and set Handheld Light Radius to 0 to turn off illumination from held light sources.
How do you reduce blank chunk edges when turning the camera quickly?
Increase Dynamic Frustum Padding or Static Frustum Padding so off-screen terrain is prepared slightly ahead of your camera rotation when Parallel Terrain Setup is enabled.
How do you inspect pass-by-pass frame timing inside the game?
Enable Display Render Profiler or use the Toggle Render Profiler control, then set Profiler Detail Level to 1 for program passes or 2 to expand all passes.
What should you do if HD lightmaps run out of space at high view distances?
Enable More Lightmap Capacity and restart the game, or lower your view distance and turn HD lightmaps off if lighting artifacts persist.
