<![CDATA[Radar zoom GPU hang - desktop website v51.0.1]]>Zooming the map while the weather radar layer is playing back reliably crashes GPU rendering on the desktop website.

Setup: windy.com v51.0.1 on desktop Linux/NixOS - Brave 150.1.92.144 (Chromium), Mesa 26.1.5 (Intel iris driver), kernel 7.1.4-zen1, Intel Raptor Lake iGPU (i9-13980HX)

Steps to reproduce:

Open the map with the weather radar layer
Pan around and zoom in/out for a while

Within a minute or so I get a GPU hang. The OS kernel logs the hang against the browser's GPU process each time (GPU HANG … in brave from the i915 driver), rendering stalls for ~30 seconds, then the browser GPU process is killed and restarts. I also reproduced it on the previous kernel and Mesa versions too which I tried rolling back to. This also occurs for me in chrome which is version 150.0.7871.186.

I saw this topic may be a similar or same issue?

Sorry I didn't see that thread earlier but yeah that looks like the same issue.

Let me know if there is any logs or other info I can provide. I use NixOS and am happy to try other drivers or settings if there is anything that would be of help.

Something I didn't mention in my report which may be useful toward debugging and fixing this...
Originally the hang would result in my whole machine freezing into an unrecoverable state because the iGPU couldn't reset.
Setting i915.enable_guc=2 means this only resulted in a 30 second freeze like I mentioned in the report rather than needing a complete restart of the laptop.
This may just be peculiar to my system however, not sure but may be useful if you are having trouble working on this issue.

Look forward to the new layers!

We are afraid that your issue is related to the one, our colleague describes here.

However, we are planning to release a new update of RadSat layers, so this should be improved there.
