Hi devs, The current version of playground doesn’t consider “devicePixelRatio” when initializing the default engine. As a result, on ratina screens, this decreases the render sharpness.

You can also create your own engine for auto adapting (or use option for limiting), instead of default (the last parameter defaults to false in default PG): https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#6T7HMZ For the curious – the “how”: BabylonJS/Babylon.js/blob/master/Playground/js/index.js#L…

Well it is for performance reason (we limit it to 1:1) you can still force it with engine setHardwareScalingLevel

How do I enable adaptToDeviceRatio in playground?
