Line by line rendering issue in flame_tiled map

[metehanyanik]

Hello, I would like to ask you a question about tiled map pixel rendering. In the game I developed with Flame, when I open the map I developed with Tiled Map, the background in the game causes line-by-line image distortion. But there is something interesting. When I open the game from the macbook screen, there is no problem with the pixels, but when I run the game from the 24" monitor, the screen becomes line by line as I said. I was going to share the screenshot files with you, but when I take a screenshot, I do not encounter any problems on both the monitor and the macbook screen. Only when viewed with the eye You can understand the image distortion.

Current bug behavior

This is how it looked when I switched to the new camera component.

Expected behavior

Steps to reproduce

I'm gonna create a very minimal reproducible example so that you can try it.

The code is the following :

class SDIGame extends FlameGame {
  late TiledComponent map;
  late final CameraComponent cameraComponent;
  final world = World();

  @override
  Future<void> onLoad() async {
    cameraComponent = CameraComponent(
      viewport: MaxViewport(),
      world: world,
    );
    cameraComponent.viewport.anchor = Anchor.center;
    cameraComponent.viewfinder.zoom = 1;

    addAll([cameraComponent, world]);

    map = await TiledComponent.load('sdi.tmx', Vector2.all(16));

    world.add(map);
  }
}

It's this issue: https://github.com/flame-engine/flame/issues/1152 It doesn't always happen since it depends on the canvas size whether you get the rounding errors. It isn't anything we can do about it unfortunately since it's a Flutter issue (goes away with Impeller though). There are some work-arounds in the linked issue.

I have the very same issue couldn't fix it. I have looked and inspected the issue https://github.com/flame-engine/flame/issues/1152 But still...
