Hi, I just updated my Phaser to 3.21.0 and when I am using game.renderer.resize  
Nothing is rendered. Am I missing a step or this breaks right now?

AFAIK `renderer.resize()` works (because the Scale Manager uses it) but you shouldn’t need to call it yourself. You would use `game.scale.resize(…)` instead.

What are you trying to do?

If you remove `renderer.resize(…)` does the problem go away?

Add `debugger;` and step through your `renderer.resize()` call. Are the values right?

I mean, I am calling it as renderer.resize(width, height);  
to resize the game

I tried any values for testing purpose, causing the whole screen goes blank.

I was using 3.15.0 with renderer.resize(width, height); which works fine, and after updating to 3.21.0, renderer.resize(width, height); causing everything goes blank when calling/using it.

But I manage to fix my project I think by removing renderer.resize(width, height); and not using it.  
I wonder if this new phaser version I don’t really need renderer.resize(width, height) anymore?
