From fbd9ba8a1bc520f4a7cd19399a32bc144f96eb06 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Zambazos Date: Sat, 26 Jul 2025 14:38:05 +1200 Subject: [PATCH] Add GPU error handling and performance optimizations Introduces a comprehensive GPU configuration and fallback system to resolve GPU process launch failures (Error 18), including new modules for GPU management and performance monitoring. Adds a GPU diagnostics HTML page, optimized CSS for rendering, and a diagnostic startup script. Updates main and preload scripts for improved stability, async file operations, and enhanced API exposure. Site history and bookmarks handling are optimized for performance and reliability. --- GPU-FIX-README.md | 158 +++++++++++++++++++++++ gpu-config.js | 124 ++++++++++++++++++ gpu-fallback.js | 105 ++++++++++++++++ main.js | 228 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- performance-monitor.js | 100 +++++++++++++++ preload.js | 83 +++++++++++-- renderer/gpu-diagnostics.html | 215 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ renderer/performance.css | 72 +++++++++++ site-history.json | 7 +- start-gpu-safe.bat | 48 +++++++ 10 files changed, 1081 insertions(+), 59 deletions(-) create mode 100644 GPU-FIX-README.md create mode 100644 gpu-config.js create mode 100644 gpu-fallback.js create mode 100644 performance-monitor.js create mode 100644 renderer/gpu-diagnostics.html create mode 100644 renderer/performance.css create mode 100644 start-gpu-safe.bat diff --git a/GPU-FIX-README.md b/GPU-FIX-README.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..329b8d7 --- /dev/null +++ b/GPU-FIX-README.md @@ -0,0 +1,158 @@ +# Nebula Browser - GPU Error 18 Fix & Performance Optimizations + +## Problem Solved ✅ +**Error 18** - GPU process launch failure has been resolved.
