version 8530 (with its GLProgs)

ShadowMaps problem (not present with Stencil) on a Radeon RX 570 (Catalyst 20.1.3) with NPC ! Shadows are.....partial.

 

 

 

Maybe now that the SVN version is complete (GLProgs) it's time to create a related dedicated thread for betatesters?

Map name? Save game & .cfg download link?

I have seen md5 shadows broken for a while e.g. the bad guy in Closemouthed Shadows.

But for sanity check, I need a specific case to investigate.

"A new Job" - first 2 guards encountered

No particular hack in the cfg about soft shadows (stencil ones are perfect).

These two?

[duzenko 654]

I think the problem with shadow geometry models is that

1. material 'textures/common/shadow' is marked as translucent and
2. translucent surfaces (e.g. glass and water) are excluded from shadow mapping

I would like to hear opinions on which point is problematic?

[lowenz 600]

Yes, those 2 !

Good news guys!

 

1.91.1 OpenAL.lib -> no issue!

1.20.1 released if you want to use it in TDM.....the dev has solved a good number of old and new  issues !

The lastest version(s) built from the source have the console and screen FPS space black. Totally black.

Now they seem fixed!

1. The last parameter here is in nanoseconds, right?

   		result = qglClientWaitSync( bufferLock[frame], GL_SYNC_FLUSH_COMMANDS_BIT, 1000000 );

   That amounts to 1 millisecond? Why so?

2. At game start this routine gets called twice on frame 0, causing a first sync object to leak.

static void LockGeoBufferSet( int frame ) {

3. What happens on wait timeout? Is it safe to delete the sync object when it has not signaled yet?

4. Any idea why wait always times out on Intel HD 2000 (other than driver bug)?

[cabalistic 736]

Hm, I don't remember the context right now, but I think the timeout should probably be longer, more like 1 second. Perhaps I made a mistake with the number, or someone accidentally changed it.

Nothing happens on wait timeout. The docs say it is safe to call glDeleteSync either way.

Try calling glFlush or even glFinish (just as an experiment, definitely don't commit that ) right before the wait. It may also be the case that the timeout is simply too short, as mentioned above. If it still times out even with glFinish, it is absolutely a driver bug.

1 millisecond is way tooo small! It should be something like 500 ms, or otherwise there must be some proper handling for timeout

[cabalistic 736]

No, wait, this is happening within a loop. So small timeout is fine:

	while ( result != GL_ALREADY_SIGNALED && result != GL_CONDITION_SATISFIED ) {
		result = qglClientWaitSync( bufferLock[frame], GL_SYNC_FLUSH_COMMANDS_BIT, 1000000 );
		if ( result == GL_CONDITION_SATISFIED )	{ 
			backEnd.pc.waitedFor = 'S'; 
		}
		if ( result == GL_WAIT_FAILED ) {
			common->Warning( "glClientWaitSync failed.\n" );
			break;
		}
	}
