Baddcog Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Anyone else have this issue? I've had it for quite awhile. Sometimes I get lucky and get a screen, but it usually has black lines through it. And sometimes it doesn't crash. But right now I basically have to be prepared to reboot if I want to try and grab a screeny. 5850, newest drivers, Win7 64 Home...

Serpentine Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Yeah, I was going to make a tracker entry for it this morning - however I wanted to test my local branch first to confirm. There's also the crash when viewing FM preview images, do you also get this? And are you using 1.07? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddcog Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 1.07 yep, haven't had a crash looking at previews. The screenshot crashes have happened for awhile, but it's hard to say. Maybe as far back as 1.06... I never got that before release for sure. But when it started happening I can't say. I guess I could look back at my old posts to see when the last screenshot I posted was, if needed, that might at least provide a rougher point of time when it started.

Serpentine Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Thats odd, it only started some time last week on my side - Tho I have a feeling it might be to do with mission locations(paths) and such... I'll have a look at it later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AluminumHaste Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Check your binding for the screenshot button in your .cfg file. It's possible you have it set to screenshot and then some ridiculous resolution or high amount of jitter which takes like 2 minutes for each screenshot. Also is Catalyst AI off Quote I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xarg Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Alternatively you could use another program (like the free FRAPS trial) to take screenshots, if you're unable to resolve your Doom3 problems.

Baddcog Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 hmm, thanks. My screens are 1920x1200, native, that's what I run the game at. TGA, they used to work fine. Cataylst is turned all the way down... might be that though. Probably roll back my drivers and check.

Baddcog Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Ah, the oldest driver I can find is 10-11 and it's got the slider in the catalyst setting too. I think my card came with 10.5, but I had to send it back for warranty on the fan, now I can't find the CD.

Serpentine Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 The problem is in the code, I'm taking a look right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddcog Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Alright, well, I did find 10.8 catalyst which lets you turn it completely off. So at least I have good skies again for now I did try a screenie, but lockup again. Really annoying lock up too because I can alt-tab and bring up task manager. I can tab and enter to scroll through programs, but I can't end Doom3 without a reboot. Quote Dark is the sway that mows like a harvest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AluminumHaste Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Wait if you can ALT+Tab why can't you CTRL+ALT+Delete and start Task Manager and TAB over to Processes and TAB to Doom3.exe and ALT+E to end Doom3.exe?

Serpentine Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Because id in their infinite wisdom try to catch most task switching / task manager type combos, some however fall through on Windows 7. You can Alt+tab if you're in windows, cant while you're in fullscreen. You can always get to Task Manager now however. Anyway, all of those stupid limits are gone in 1.08 (my first act on the source ). As for the crash - I would make a ticket about it if you could BC, I'm off to bed now (6am whee). Checked the path, it's correct, I assume the issue lies with devil or the format enum, I didn't get time to check it out.Not sure why there's a temp idStr there anyway, c string will be fine in both uses, and less messy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springheel Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 For the record, I've never had any problems with screen captures before, but trying to do so just crashed on me last night in 1.08.

Serpentine Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Hmmm, if you use 'r_screenshot_format png' it will work just fine. So use that in the mean time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AluminumHaste Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 I am also getting crashes in v1.08 with bind F12 screenshot. I tried changing tdm screenshot format to png but same issue. I could build thedarkmod.exe with debugging on I guess and step into it and try and catch the crash I guess. Quote I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

taaaki Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 I think I have resolved this for JPEGs (in SVN). If you have SVN access, grab the latest revision and give it a spin. AluminumHaste: If you could provide me with the call stack when it crashes with PNGs, that would be great. Quote I am the bat. The night is mine.

AluminumHaste Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 I'm pretty sure I was mistaken with the png crashing. I had set the screenshot format to png but I'm also thinking I must have typed it in wrong or something because I can't reproduce the error. So to recap: png works.

AluminumHaste Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Okay checked out latest source and built exe and dll and it's working perfectly with screenshot set as jpg. Also, browsing the screenshots for downloadable maps in game no longer crash thedarkmod. Thank you taaaki!I've commited the updated dll and exe to svn for others.
