title: Stuck on Enable Hardware Acceleration screen
description: >-
  If you have already enabled hardware acceleration in your browser settings
  but still cannot bypass the notification, your browser may be blocking
  specific graphics features due to driver compatibility or internal flags.
---


Follow the troubleshooting steps below for your browser.

## Chrome

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Check your Graphics Feature Status**

Open a new tab in Chrome and type `chrome://gpu` into the address bar. Review the **Graphics Feature Status** list. If items like **WebGL**, **WebGL2**, or **Hardware Accelerated** are listed as "Disabled" or "Software only," proceed to the steps below.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Override the Software Rendering List**

Chrome sometimes "blocklists" certain GPU models or drivers for stability. You can manually bypass this:

1. Navigate to `chrome://flags` in your address bar.
2. Search for **Override software rendering list** (or `#ignore-gpu-blocklist`).
3. Set the dropdown menu to **Enabled**.
4. Click the **Relaunch** button that appears at the bottom of the page.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Enable WebGL Extensions**

1. In the address bar, type `chrome://flags` and press Enter.
2. In the search bar, type `WebGL`.
3. Find `WebGL Draft Extensions` and set the dropdown next to it to `Enabled`.
4. Find `WebGL Developer Extensions` and set the dropdown next to it to `Enabled`.
5. Click the `Relaunch` button that appears at the bottom of the page.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Enable Skia Graphite**

If you are using modern GPUs (such as NVIDIA 30-series), enabling the Skia rendering engine could resolve the issue:

![Image](/images/image.webp)

1. Go to `chrome://flags`.
2. Search for **Skia Graphite**.
3. Set it to **Enabled**.
4. Relaunch the browser.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Verify Driver and Browser Updates**

- **Update Drivers:** For NVIDIA users, ensure you are using the latest "Game Ready" or "Studio" driver via GeForce Experience.
- **Clear Cache:** Go to **Settings > Privacy and security > Clear browsing data** and clear "Cached images and files."
- **Check WebGL Support:** Visit a site like `webglreport.com` to confirm that WebGL 2 is successfully supported and active in your current browser session.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Reach out to support**

If all else fails, you can reach out to our support on Discord for further troubleshooting.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Edge

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Check Your Graphics Feature Status**

Open a new tab in Edge and type `edge://gpu` into the address bar. Review the **Graphics Feature Status** list. If items like WebGL, WebGL2, or Hardware Acceleration are listed as "Disabled" or "Software only," proceed to the next steps.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Override the Software Rendering List**

Edge may "blocklist" certain GPU models or drivers for stability. You can manually bypass this:

1. Navigate to `edge://flags` in your address bar.
2. Search for **Override software rendering list** (or `#ignore-gpu-blocklist`).
3. Set the dropdown menu to **Enabled**.
4. Click the **Restart** button that appears at the bottom of the page.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Enable WebGL Extensions**

1. In the address bar, type `edge://flags` and press Enter.
2. In the search bar, type `WebGL`.
3. Find **WebGL Draft Extensions** and set the dropdown next to it to **Enabled**.
4. Find **WebGL Developer Extensions** and set the dropdown next to it to **Enabled**.
5. Click the **Restart** button that appears at the bottom of the page.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Enable Skia Graphite**

If you are using modern GPUs (such as NVIDIA 30-series), enabling the Skia rendering engine could resolve the issue:

![Skia Graphite](/images/skia-graphite.png)

1. Go to `edge://flags`.
2. Search for **Skia Graphite**.
3. Set it to **Enabled**.
4. Relaunch the browser.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Verify Driver and Browser Updates**

- **Update Drivers:** Ensure you are using the latest GPU drivers (NVIDIA / AMD / Intel).
- **Clear Cache:** Go to **Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Clear browsing data** and clear "Cached images and files."
- **Check WebGL Support:** Visit a site like [webglreport.com](http://webglreport.com) to confirm that WebGL 2 is successfully supported and active in your current browser session.

## Firefox

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Check your Graphics Status**

Open a new tab in Firefox and type `about:support` into the address bar.

Scroll down to the **Graphics** section and review the following:

- **Compositing**
- **GPU Process**
- **WebGL 1 Driver Renderer**
- **WebGL 2 Driver Renderer**

Hardware acceleration is working correctly if:

- **Compositing** shows **WebRender**

  ![Compositing](/images/compositing.png)

- **GPU Process** shows **available**

  ![GPU Process](/images/gpu-process.png)

- WebGL renderer information is present (e.g., Apple, NVIDIA, AMD, Intel)

  ![WebGL2 Driver Renderer](/images/webgl2-driver-renderer.png)

  ![WebGL1 Driver Renderer](/images/webgl1-driver-renderer.png)

If Compositing shows **Basic**, GPU Process is unavailable, or WebGL renderer information is missing, proceed to the steps below.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Confirm Hardware Acceleration is Enabled**

1. Open **Settings** in Firefox.
2. Scroll to the **Performance** section.
3. Uncheck **Use recommended performance settings**.
4. Ensure **Use hardware acceleration when available** is enabled.
5. Restart Firefox.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Modify Advanced Graphics Settings**

1. In the address bar, type `about:config`.
2. Press Enter and click **Accept the Risk and Continue**.
3. Search for the following preferences and ensure they are set as follows:
   - `webgl.disabled` → `false`
   - `layers.acceleration.force-enabled` → `true`
   - `gfx.webrender.all` → `true`
4. Restart Firefox after making these changes.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Verify Driver and Browser Updates**

- **Update Drivers:** Ensure your GPU drivers (NVIDIA / AMD / Intel) are fully updated.
- **Restart** your computer after updating your drivers.
- **Check WebGL Support:** Visit [webglreport.com](http://webglreport.com) to confirm that WebGL 2 is supported and active in your current browser session.
