I think that is a problem in Chromium 113 because in chrome with this version I'm the same mistake, with Version 112 and 114 it missing

supernes · 2023-05-06T10:21:35Z

Manually enabling Vulkan from brave://flags fixes 99% of issues on my setup (Fedora 37, Mesa 23.0.3, GNOME on Wayland). Only issue so far is a black bar on the YouTube UI, otherwise usable.

coyoterj · 2023-05-06T13:48:55Z

Same problem.
Fedora 38 Linux 6.2.14-300.fc38.x86_64
Brave 113.1.51.110

rlengland · 2023-05-07T03:09:51Z

Concur on this problem. Essentially a white window with a few blackline artifacts occasionally
Linux foyle 6.2.14-300.fc38.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon May 1 00:55:28 UTC 2023 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Downgraded to Brave Version 1.50.125 Chromium: 112.0.5615.165 (Official Build) (64-bit) and it works

buhosiliscodirococo · 2023-05-07T17:08:31Z

Man, I was putting in overtime at work because I couldn't use Brave-Browser for days. And already in a few days this has problems again? What happen? I loved the browser initially, but lately it's becoming a nuisance, if this persists I'll go back to Firefox, I've used it all my life and no problem.

Fedora 38
Kernel: 6.2.14-300.fc38.x86_64

Previously I solved it by downgrading and now I will have to do it again. I was updating using "--exclude=brave-browser" but that is not a solution...

blutch112 · 2023-05-07T19:18:38Z

while waiting for the resolution of the problem, the flatpak version of brave works perfectly with the latest version.

ggttttggggtt · 2023-05-07T20:16:31Z

I was able to fix this by clearing Brave's cache and session. I'm not sure how you would do it manually, but I used bleachbit to do it, which is in Fedora's repos.

coyoterj · 2023-05-08T03:05:25Z

Now, I updated Brave to version 113.1.51.110 and it's working for me.

rillian · 2023-05-08T22:20:57Z

FWIW I had the same problem. Clearing the cache can be a work around; for me a fresh profile works fine. You can also disable "use hardware accelleration when available" in brave://settings/system

If you can't get that to render so you can click on it, launching from the command line as brave-browser --disable-gpu is similar. This resolved the issue for me.

rillian · 2023-05-08T22:23:02Z

Further debugging info:

I'm on Gnome+Wayland rather than xorg. Effects seem to be the same except I can't take screenshots of the results. :)

For me at least, launching on the command line, there are continuous GLSL compiler errors. similar to the report above. These are also collected at the bottom of the brave://gpu page. The errors don't show up with a clean profile; probably some setting difference triggers a different path.

Downgrade to brave-browser-1.50.125-1.x86_64 worked also for me.

rillian · 2023-05-09T15:11:55Z

Can confirm enabling vulkan fixes almost all of the rendering issues, with the notable exception of video in brave talk.

kGAr6Naaes · 2023-05-09T18:35:48Z

Manually enabling Vulkan from brave://flags fixes 99% of issues on my setup (Fedora 37, Mesa 23.0.3, GNOME on Wayland). Only issue so far is a black bar on the YouTube UI, otherwise usable.

This worked for me too and I could even enable the "Enable GPU rasterization" flag but, for some reason, when I open a new tab I get "Error code: RESULT_CODE_KILLED_BAD_MESSAGE".

I still can type on the address bar.

Guess for now I can set New Tab to blank page.

blutch112 · 2023-05-09T18:50:30Z

I confirm @rillian proposal. By deleting the profile in /home/$USER/.config/BraveSoftware/
Brave works with version 1.51.110

coyoterj · 2023-05-09T19:43:03Z

2 days ago, I updated Brave to version 113.1.51.110 and it's working for me.

kGAr6Naaes · 2023-05-09T19:54:27Z

I confirm @rillian proposal. By deleting the profile in /home/$USER/.config/BraveSoftware/ Brave works with version 1.51.110

It's a drastic solution but it worked (mostly because my profile was very new).

rillian · 2023-05-17T16:30:20Z

2 days ago, I updated Brave to version 113.1.51.110 and it's working for me.

The rendering issues are also fixed for me in 1.52.100 Chromium: 113.0.5672.92 (Official Build) beta (64-bit) on an up-to-date Fedora 38 system, with the exception of video playback. Both talk.brave.com and youtube show blank green areas where the video should be. So it's better, but not completely addressed.

I continue to have no problems with fresh profiles.

supernes · 2023-05-20T07:57:07Z

You may not need to delete your entire profile or start from scratch, I think it's enough to just remove the shader caches.

I updated to 1.51.118, disabled Vulkan (which is still causing black bars on video), and deleted two folders: ShaderCache and GrShaderCache inside the profile folder (~/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/). Now everything works just fine.

Thanks to @rillian for the hint.

jaylittle · 2023-05-22T17:46:56Z

So this problem went away for me on Fedora 38 after awhile, but it now appears to have returned after updating a few minutes ago. Anybody else?

rillian · 2023-05-23T16:47:25Z

So this problem went away for me on Fedora 38 after awhile, but it now appears to have returned after updating a few minutes ago. Anybody else?

It hasn't re-occurred for me. Does the suggestion of rm -rf ~/.config/BraveSoftware/*/*ShaderCache make a difference?

With hardware acceleration enabled and vulkan disabled, everything has been working for me. The issues with video I mentioned above seem to have been caused by the vulkan flag.

jaylittle · 2023-05-23T20:01:12Z

It hasn't re-occurred for me. Does the suggestion of rm -rf ~/.config/BraveSoftware/*/*ShaderCache make a difference?

Okay so for me I had to delete another folder.... deleting GrShaderCache and ShaderCache inside of ~/.config/BraveSoftware/BraveBrowser didn't help. I had to do this:

rm -rf ~/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/GPUCache

That's the one that resolved my issue. Credit where credit is due though, as I stole this from an Arch Forum Post.
