Beta Testing 2.06

Maybe try unpacking all pk4's and delete them,

[lowenz]

About the pk4 repackaging.....it seems that somehow TDM got a SAVEGAME (!!!!) repacked in a FM pk4.

Is it even possible?

 

I see a savegame in the saves list, but there's no savefile.

If I remove all the "fm" folder it disappears.

That wouldn't surprise me; I've even seen entire extra (test) maps included in FM pk4s. Probably just an oversight when zipping up the mission for distribution.

Testing my current wip under the latest version.

Testing my current wip under the latest version.

Had a quick run through with the 32bit version and the latest version looks brilliant and uncapped FPS on my 1070 was 100-133FPS, but unfortunate the joy didn't last long as I got a CTD.

 

Looking in task manager the game was sitting at 2.5GB at time of crash. On map load TDM sits at 220MB, but with the game doing nothing the ram usage just increases. After a few minutes if flying around the ram useage just skyrockets - which suggests there is a memory leak.

Did you have notarget set when you were flying around?

[Bikerdude]

On one of the runs yes, how does this effect ram useage 2.05-versus-2.06..?

See http://bugs.thedarkmod.com/view.php?id=4661

 

There are some brushes which seem to be unbounded and the following warning is generated for them:

brush %d on entity %d is unbounded (+ some coordinates)

These brushes need to be adjusted or removed.

These brushes need to be adjusted or removed.

If the coordinates (Y= -262144) are correct than no brush exists as its out in the void a massive distance away from the map, I checked the map and there is nothing there.

 

So if I open the map file in notepad++ whats the safest way to nuke these trouble some brushes..?

Just wondering if AI activity is causing the leak

If dmap tells you "brush A on entity B is unbounded", then A is the primitive number. B is most likely zero (i.e. worldspawn).

So simply find "// primitive A" in the map file, and remove it.

In your case dmap chokes on brushes 10354, 10471, 10487, 11034.

I think the brushes do not really have infinite size, but dmap fails to compute their faces properly.

 

 

which suggests there is a memory leak.

Yes, this is also a possibility.

[Bikerdude]

Did a search in Notepad++ and DR and those primitives dont appear to exist

[duzenko]

Just wondering if AI activity is causing the leak

I've seen a major memory leak in St Albans Cathedral.

It "felt" like it could be related to sound system.

Did not play after that.

[Bikerdude]

That mission was and is fine on every version of TDM before 2.06, so I can only think that every prior version of tdm has been compiing maps wrong and we have been gettiong away with it? or there is something fundimentaly different about how 2.06 compiles maps versus earlier versions..?

Let's for now stick to the hypothesis that the skyrocketing RAM is actually a memory leak and that it is completely unrelated to dmap issues.

The fact that dmap in 2.06 fails should not cause high RAM consumption of TDM engine on the map dmapped by 2.05. It is rather illogical...

 

Is there any clear way to reproduce the leak? Or any ideas where to search for such a way?

[HMart]

There's no way on idtech 4 to see witch peace of logic eat's the most memory? A profiler of sorts, without one the only way i know is to disable all the new major stuff included in 2.06, then enable one by one and see when the memory leek happens.

In my WIP, you just fly around in noclip for a few minutes and you will get a CTD.

[Bikerdude]

I think I found another bug, can someone else confirm before I log a tracker -

 

r_showportals appears to be broken, as in VP's either dont appear or if they do its random.

[nbohr1more]

Try r_showPortals with com_smp 0 (disable multi-core).

[Bikerdude]

No effect

[Springheel]

I think I found another bug, can someone else confirm before I log a tracker -

 

 

It's already tracked.

[grayman]

The latest package build is now available.

 

The packager still has problems with its latest code changes. It's being worked on, but for now, we're reverting back to the previous version.

 

15088 - water blur shader fixed (duzenko)

15090 – fix duplicate skins and warnings about models (Springheel)

15091 – fix a gap in one of the new church modules (Springheel)

15093 - fix some black textures (Springheel)

7292 - passing tex coords to bumpy environment shader (bug 4673) (duzenko)

[lowenz]

About the water shader.....these STRIPES?

 

[Spooks]

^That one was already spotted, it's to do with FBO, although I don't think it's tracked on Mantis.

 

#4673 seems to be fixed (passing tex coords to bumpy environment shader) now; I was hoping that would also alleviate the rectangular cubic lights somehow, but no luck. While I was looking I also noticed something's up with falloff textures for projected lights, like the shot VanishedOne posted in the other thread with the lanternbot light... Might be worth looking into.

[Spooks]

I just noticed envshot takes screenshots with the UI on, so you have a nice cubemap with a complimentary console window on each side. There's a command to hide the hud but uh, is this intentional, or...
