Built-in shaders not rendering when they were previously

Hi, today when working on a file all the built-in shaders aren’t rendering when they still were previously (most recently yesterday). 

I’ve went through similar threads and troubleshooting (restarting figma, browser, desktop) but it still doesn’t work. I’d like help in resolving this issue thank you. 

  • Desktop app version 126.10.7
  • Browser-tested on Chrome 155, Firefox 155 (both WebGL 1&2 compliant)
  • Not on any VPN or proxy
  • macOS 14.8.7, Apple M1 Pro
  • Free Figma plan

Hey ​@yizhens , Celine from the Figma Community Support team here! Thanks for sharing your setup and the troubleshooting you’ve already tried!

I’ve gone ahead and create a support ticket on your behalf so our team can investigate why the built-in shaders have stopped rendering. For reference, your case number is #2192394, sent to your email address: lxxxxg@gxxxl.xxm.

In the meantime, could you check whether WebGPU is available in your browser? Shaders require WebGPU outside compatibility mode, so WebGL 1 and 2 support alone doesn’t confirm compatibility. You can find more details in our system requirements guide.

If WebGPU is available and the shaders still don’t render, or you’re unsure how to check, please continue the conversation through the support email. Include the affected file URL and a screenshot or short recording so the team can take a closer look. There’s no need to submit another request. Thank you for your patience!

Update: I saw you replied via your support case that it’s been resolved on your side! We are glad the shaders are rendering again! If the issue is happening again, feel free to reply directly to your support case with a URL of your affected file, and our team can take a closer look at it. I am closing the thread here, thank you!
