TDM 2.06 issues...

pacman · May 31, 2018

Please update the tdm_update.linux binary with a 64 bit elf, or a statically linked executable. It seems that it still is an elf32 and depends on 32 bit libraries. Can't run it on 64 bit Debian Stretch GNU/Linux, it gives an error: "no such file or directory" which might be that loader is missing, or the shared libraries are missing.

For Full information, see this thread: http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/19461-64-bit-support-on-linux-tdm-updater-for-linux-is-still-a-32-bit-binary/

Got home early today. Deleting the unpacked GUIs folder solved my issue. Thanks again!

For fun I ran the TDM 2.06 64 bit Linux release with the INTEL_DEBUG=perf environment variable set. For every rendered frame I saw this output:

intelReadPixels: fallback to CPU mapping in PBO case
CPU mapping a busy miptree BO stalled and took 3.813 ms.
Failed to fast clear 1920x1080 depth because of scissors. Possible 5% performance win if avoided.

I got this on all 3 maps I tested (Training Mission, A New Job, Volta 1). Maybe it's worth investigating (see notes below though).

OS: Debian 9

GPU: Intel HD Graphics 520

Driver version: Mesa 13.0.6

Binary: 64 bit Linux binary

Settings: r_useFBO 1, pretty high settings, soft shadows off

Mesa 13.0.6 is a bit dated by now so I would suggest to verify this with a newer Mesa version if possible.

Note: TDM said that the OpenGL extension EXT_depths_bound_test wasn't found, I'm not sure if this is related to the fast clear problem or not.

We use scissor tests to prevent off-screen rendering and reduce fillrate consumed by stencil shadows.

If you wish to compare, disable them via cvar:

r_useEntityScissors 0

r_useInteractionScissors 0

r_useLightScissors 0

r_useScissor 0

r_useShadowSurfaceScissor 0

r_useClippedLightScissors 0

We use scissor tests to prevent off-screen rendering and reduce fillrate consumed by stencil shadows.

Yep, the situation about scissors test is: shadow volumes without them would be awfully inefficient.

The question remains whether any scissors usage causes this issue, or we can change something a bit so that the problem disappears.

The warning about PBO is interesting, and the second warning is probably related.

But it should be considered by looking into mesa source code (it is easily googlable by error messages).

Probably Duzenko could do it if he wants.

Anyway, this info is a bit too hardcore for generic discussion about "TDM 2.06 issues"

Probably we should restrain ourself from talking about it here and move the question to e.g. PM.

nbohr1more · May 31, 2018

Interesting. There doesn't appear to be a "stateless" glscissor operation in modern GL?

The closest we have is grouping them into an array or index (glScissorIndexed).

It seems that someone recently made a home remedy by using GLSL to perform the scissor

rather than the driver and API call:

https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?topic=40354.0

Hiradur · May 31, 2018

r_useEntityScissors 0
r_useInteractionScissors 0
r_useLightScissors 0
r_useScissor 0
r_useShadowSurfaceScissor 0
r_useClippedLightScissors 0

I put these settings into autoexec.cfg and verified ingame that they are indeed all set to zero. The output of INTEL_DEBUG=perf didn't change however, it's still showing the same. Performance was notably worse with scissors turned off, ca. 25%.

Yes, sorry about that. I didn't want to create a new thread but this thread isn't the best place for this either. Edited May 31, 2018 by Hiradur

nbohr1more · May 31, 2018

Hmm.

Must be hard-coded somewhere that the cvars don't touch. I think I saw one qglscissor in win_glimp so it may also be somewhere in the

equivalent frame invoke on Linux.

Still, I think the profiler is kinda alluding to what I said above "redesign your engine to batch scissor tests into arrays or indexes".

A nice hint but not exactly easy to implement as I can tell.

Well, my previous problem was apparently solved with stgatilov's kind help, but now I have a different one.

Roughly every... maybe third or fourth attempt at loading a savegame results in a crash to desktop. So far it always seems to manifest when quickloading, and so far it has never manifested while loading manually (even if it's a quicksave file), but to be fair, I haven't tried manually loading that often yet.

This is occuring on a brand new installation of the game from scratch, on the FM "A new Job" that comes with the installation. Before I've reinstalled the game, it also happened in other FM's as well, also on 2.06. Haven't tried other missions on this new installation yet, but I expect it would be the same.

All this is on WinXP, and nothing like this has ever happened with previous versions. Don't know what log file would be relevant, but Darkmod.log says:

All this is on WinXP, and nothing like this has ever happened with previous versions. Don't know what log file would be relevant, but Darkmod.log says:

This file is more like debug info for developers, it does not contain anything interesting now.

Better post console contents.

Open darkmod.cfg and add a line at the end (don't forget to remove it when investigation is over):

seta logFile "2"

Now run the game. After it crashes, look at file fms/<name_of_mission>/qconsole.log.

Attach it here as txt.

P.S. There is also a way to record crashdump, but that's quite tedious (if the described approach even works on WinXP).

So let's start with console log described above.

I am getting a new error while replaying Full moon fever ..

it says: The NVIDIA OpenGL driver lost connection with the display driver due to exceeding the windows Time-out limit and is unable to continue.

I tried to add a registry key that was mentioned here in this link https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/display/tdr-registry-keys

but no luck. I never had this error when i had played Full moon fever for the first time.

Nvidia's own docs exclaim that you are overworking your GPU somehow.

Let's get your latest Darkmod.cfg to check where your current settings are.

I've never overclocked anything at all, and try to avoid it at all cost. it's not worth it for me as i am not a heavy gamer

it could be my GPU is in its final days.

here is the cfg. same as before. the only difference between now and the last time i played that mission is uncap FPS and multi core. tried to disable them but still the error pops out.

Keep in mind that this error also happens in No honor among thieves( exactly when opening the door behind the guard.) and i played that mission like 4 times.

I am getting a new error while replaying Full moon fever ..
it says: The NVIDIA OpenGL driver lost connection with the display driver due to exceeding the windows Time-out limit and is unable to continue.

If I'm not mistaken, this timeout limit is set on single frame, i.e. if your GPU computes for 2 seconds (default) without response, then it is killed.

It is unlikely that a normally playable game can suddenly start rendering so slowly that one frame takes 2 seconds.

It sounds more like a bug of some sort which causes GPU to hang...

nbohr1more · June 1, 2018

I've never overclocked anything at all, and try to avoid it at all cost. it's not worth it for me as i am not a heavy gamer
it could be my GPU is in its final days.

here is the cfg. same as before. the only difference between now and the last time i played that mission is uncap FPS and multi core. tried to disable them but still the error pops out.

Keep in mind that this error also happens in No honor among thieves( exactly when opening the door behind the guard.) and i played that mission like 4 times.

You've fallen into the resolution scaling trap again.

seta r_nvidiaOverride "1"
seta r_fboResolution "1.36"
seta r_multiSamples "2"

1) Delete your Darkmod.cfg

2) Leave MSAA set to OFF r_multisamples 0 and r_fboResolution 1

3) Disable nvidiaOverride (set to 0)

4) Configure FXAA in your drivers (create a darkmod profile)

5) Enable FBO. r_useFBO = 1

6) Enable Soft Shadows if desired

I am getting a new error while replaying Full moon fever ..

it says: The NVIDIA OpenGL driver lost connection with the display driver due to exceeding the windows Time-out limit and is unable to continue.

I tried to add a registry key that was mentioned here in this link https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/display/tdr-registry-keys

but no luck. I never had this error when i had played Full moon fever for the first time.

Do you have the multi core option turned on in the menu? I had that same crash occur randomly with it enabled.

t says: The NVIDIA OpenGL driver lost connection with the display driver due to exceeding the windows Time-out limit and is unable to continue.

Also whats the model of the nVidia card and what version windows are you on?

Anyone else see an HOM effect in the sky of Return to the City?

That is caused by enabling in-game AA when you have Soft Shadows on Nvidia hardware.

Hmm.

I should've never put that period in the name of that section.

This file is more like debug info for developers, it does not contain anything interesting now.
Better post console contents.

Open darkmod.cfg and add a line at the end (don't forget to remove it when investigation is over):
seta logFile "2"
Now run the game. After it crashes, look at file fms/<name_of_mission>/qconsole.log.
Attach it here as txt.

P.S. There is also a way to record crashdump, but that's quite tedious (if the described approach even works on WinXP).
So let's start with console log described above.

I followed your instructions, and here's what I got in the log file:
