# Integrated-server graphics context
|
|
|
|
Client rendering competes with the integrated server for CPU time. Version 0.21
|
|
copies GPU, backend and driver into the tick report when F8 or `/horizon bench`
|
|
starts a single-player recording. The values come from the client/render thread
|
|
and are copied into immutable metadata; server ticks never access GPU APIs.
|
|
|
|
Reports identify `server_runtime_kind` as integrated, dedicated or unknown.
|
|
`client_graphics_capture_status` is `captured_at_recording_start` only when all
|
|
three graphics fields are supplied for an integrated server. The server-only
|
|
command does not inspect client graphics. Old callers retain their compatible
|
|
four-argument recording entrypoint and report unknown runtime context.
|
|
|
|
The offline viewer and CLI flag differing runtime kinds, graphics backends and
|
|
drivers. Legacy reports remain readable, with unknown-context warnings. A
|
|
matched start snapshot does not establish unchanged graphics throughout the
|
|
recording, equivalent client quality, world work or scheduling. Rendering changes
|
|
still require paired frame reports and an explicitly controlled experiment.
|
|
This metadata change makes no FPS, TPS or RAM improvement claim.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
python3 tools/build_mod.py
|
|
python3 tools/test_server_graphics.py --native-display --backend opengl
|
|
# Separate fresh private instance; Linux software renderer research only:
|
|
python3 tools/test_server_graphics.py --native-display --backend vulkan
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The private fixture starts a normal 10-second frame/tick recording through the
|
|
client recorder, checks both reports against the actual device, saves the demo
|
|
world and exits. It does not change simulation rate or gameplay rules. Windows
|
|
compiles the fixture; Linux and hosted macOS check the actual game-selected backend. An explicit
|
|
`--backend` experiment still rejects fallback; the default metadata check does
|
|
not require a particular renderer. Full logs,
|
|
worlds and fixture JARs remain private and outside playable downloads.
