Description

<-- A clear and concise description of what the problem is. -->
Rendering rive files on a raspberry pi 5 shows floating point errors on all circles.

Replacing:
Future<rive.File?> _loadFile() async {
final bytes = await rootBundle.load(widget.asset);
return rive.File.decode(
bytes.buffer.asUint8List(),
riveFactory: RiveExampleApp.getCurrentFactory,
assetLoader: widget.assetLoader,
);
}

With:
//Future<rive.File?> _loadFile() async {
// final bytes = await rootBundle.load(widget.asset);
// return rive.File.decode(
// bytes.buffer.asUint8List(),
// riveFactory: rive.Factory.flutter, // 👈 Directly specify it here
// assetLoader: widget.assetLoader,
// );
// }

Will fix the floating point error, but then other effects are not rendered anymore.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Run any circle, with or without feather effect, on a raspberry Pi 5 in chromium.

Source .riv/.rev file

<--
Attaching runtime-exported .riv file that reproduces the issue is immensely helpful for our team to identify the problem as fast as possible and fix it.
Please also include the source (.rev) by downloading a backup from the Editor.

N.B. Because GitHub only supports certain file types use a ZIP archive to upload .riv/.rev files to this issue.

You can also privately share the .riv/.rev file with us at [email protected].
