Hello everyone! There is such a question: I am trying to export a project on GLES 3 to a Redmi 9A phone, but nothing works. Logo GODOT, black screen. With GLES 2 it works.

What have I tried:

  • I was looking for information about the phone. It should support GLES 3, according to this
  • I’m running remote debug mode on my phone. I create 2d scene and a sprite. Everything works. I create a 3d scene, camera and mesh, it does not work. I change 2d to 3d in the process of debag, the environment appears, but mesh is not visible.

Question: Will GLES 3 not work even with an empty 3d scene? maybe there are some other reasons?

Many devices claim to support GLES3, but they do so very poorly, making support unusable in practice. This is mostly seen on old or low-end devices. This is why the GLES3 renderer in 3.x is not recommended for use on mobile devices.

Either way, the GLES3 renderer has a higher base cost than GLES2, which means it will run slower on simple (mobile-friendly) scenes.
