The solution for Intel chipsets is the same if I recall correctly. \r\n\r\nI see two options:\r\nA) enable the flag in the sources:\r\n- pros: vast majority of linux users will have smooth video, windows users using a severely outdated driver will have smooth video\r\n- cons: there's probably a reason for the blacklist to exist in the first place but idk why, windows vista will have issues with some gpus\r\n\r\nB) enable the flag for linux only:\r\n- pros: everything\r\n- cons: platform-specific code + this might be a bug that will be resolved\r\n\r\nAdditions:\r\n- this is only valid for nwjs 12.x, the --ignore-gpu-blacklist flag [doesn't exist](https://github.com/nwjs/chromium.src/blob/nw13/chrome/common/chrome_switches.cc) on nwjs 13."}}
