Help update Chromium? rmmv performance

[Jonforum]

hi everybody
many experimentation bring me to a stupefaction.
when you type this into the rmmv console.

navigator.appVersion

you will get this
"5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/41.0.2272.76 Safari/537.36"
is that me that interprets very badly the information or the current version of rmmv based on chromium Chrome v41.0 !

this version is not only very old, but also have execrable performance for a lot of JavaScript method very use in the development I.
Like you can see in this benchmark at the end (look Op/Sec) for Chrome 42.0
https://jsperf.com/bind-vs-self-closure

my question is how to upgrade to version Chrome 65.0 or 61 with the package rmmv ???
or is just me i dont understand correcly how this work ?

thank a lot

MV uses nw.js to run the game. You can replace it by a newer version of it: https://nwjs.io/
Unfortunately nw.js seems to get more bloated with every new version, so it may not be faster to use a newer version.

1.6.0 beta has a newer nwjs.

I think here is your answer.

Rpg maker MV game's exe file... What is it?
The answer is... It is a web browser programmed possibly in QT C++. It uses Chromium to interpret javascript and nw.js to build a local server to run the game on. However, Chromium is a part of either that exe file or one of the other files, possibly that gigantic one.

The only way to update chromium is to make your own web browser (in other words the exe file).

Btw. this is from 1.6.0.
"5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/61.0.3163.100 Safari/537.36"

So MV 1.6.0 will use Chrome 61.

process.versions

• openssl: "1.0.1k"
• uv: "1.4.0"
• v8: "3.32.7"
• zlib: "1.2.5"

chromium: "41" !!! is a very old dinosaure and poor performance.
example in the benchmark
chromium: "59" run 3270% faster .bind Method or closures than chromium: "41"

Don't ask me, I am not a part of dev team

 

[Hudell]

Game.exe is just a renamed nw.exe, from nw.js.

Btw this is the first time I hear about MV 1.6.0. Where did you guys hear about it?
