Thanks again! Can you run thedarkmod.x64 under gdb? Open Terminal cd /home/user/darkmod/ gdb ./thedarkmod.x64 run If the crash occurs in gdb, please perform invoke "step" in gdb and capture the console data to a text document. Another thing that would help is setting all logging to debug in darkmod.ini then collecting the darkmod.log as an archive (tar, zip, etc) and uploading to a filesharing site. -
I think this happens because the "hacked view" for portalsky relies on "shake angle" and Player.cpp disables "calculate shake" during g_stopTime: if ( !g_stopTime.GetBool() ) { UpdateAnimation(); Present(); UpdateDamageEffects(); LinkCombat(); playerView.CalculateShake(); } Maybe just add an "else { playerView.CalculateShake(); }" there? Edit: Nope, there must be something more. I fear that there may need to be a skybox specific update animation routine to make this work...

OK, I went back to 2.07 and it is the same. RTTC v1 is just super heavy on Soft Stencil Shadows mode. ( 13FPS ... ) I will update to 2.08 and confirm further but I think this is pretty definitive. Edit: Yep. 2.08 is the same. No regression (phew).

The only thing I think we should do is set the max to 300. Physics gets out-of-hand above that: https://bugs.thedarkmod.com/view.php?id=5464

Hmm... While I don't see any performance regression in standard stencil mode, soft shadows with stencil seems to have regressed here. I barely use that mode anymore but it used to be higher performance than shadow maps... Can anyone confirm?

As a sanity check in preparation for the 2.09 release article, I tested performance for the original "Return to the City" map. I probably should have been more exhaustive but I wanted to get through it today. Starting with TDM 1.02: 24FPS 1080P 4xAA 8xAF Bloom TDM 1.03: 21FPS 1080P 4xAA 8xAF "HDR-Lite" TDM 1.07: 23FPS (same settings as 1.03) TDM 1.08: 25FPS (same settings as 1.03) TDM 2.0: 27FPS (same settings as 1.03) TDM 2.03: 26FPS (same settings as 1.03) TDM 2.05: 28FPS (1.03 settings, uncapped FPS) TDM 2.06: 32FPS (1.03 settings, multi-core, un

Following on from above, perhaps TDM is not recognizing your available VRAM. Try setting shadows back to stencil ( r_shadows 1) (Then) Try setting: sys_videoRam 2048 Then try setting: seta r_frameIndexMemory "8192" seta r_frameVertexMemory "8192" or seta r_frameIndexMemory "16384" seta r_frameVertexMemory "16384"
-
The main difference appears to be r_shadows 2 vs 1 ( shadows maps vs stencil ) When you tried r_shadowMapSinglePass 1 did you have Shadow Mode set to Maps ( r_shadows 2 ) ?
-
Yes, please post your darkmod.cfg
-
Try: r_useNewBackend 1 r_shadowMapSinglePass 1 r_shadowMapCullFront 1 r_fboResolution 0.5 r_shadowMapSize 512 In my experience, r_shadowMapSinglePass is the biggest performance factor and it is broken on the old backend.

So, what are you working on right now?
nbohr1more replied to Springheel's topic in TDM Editors Guild
Very cool! A simple way to offer both options is to use lod_bias : https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=LOD_Bias Object Detail Low = Static specular, Object Detail Medium = Cubemap, Object Detail High = Real Or you can use the cubemap version for a far away LOD etc. -
Work In Progress FM. Request for testers to give feedback.

Looks beautiful! I am a little dubious about performance in those wide views... Congrats! -

We will only be interested in a save if this issue can be reproduced in 2.09 beta which is almost ready for release candidate: -

You disabled EFX and HRTF too? -
Hmm. I wonder if shader cache from a previous build was not refreshed so the driver was trying to execute old shader data?
