WebGPU issue in Mac Chrome starting in v8.54.1

Hi folks!

After upgrading from v8.54.0 to v8.54.1, WebGPU for my project on Mac Chrome started flashing white. Please see the video below:

This reproduces 100% of the time now on Mac Chrome.

Interestingly, I also ran v8.54.1 on Windows Chrome. The very first load, I saw this issue. Then on subsequent loads, the page only flashes white a few times, then it fully recovers and renders well. Also, Windows didn’t show the yellow warnings in the Chrome DevTools.

Could there be something wrong in the way I’m setting up the scene on WebGPU?

If I set enableGPUDebugMarkers: false instead of true when creating the WebGPUEngine, then the issue is no longer there on Mac Chrome. :white_check_mark:

Thank you for your help!!

Ah, WebGPU: Refactor the debug marker code by Popov72 · Pull Request #18004 · BabylonJS/Babylon.js · GitHub was still bugged!
