When I run qapitrace with Stgatilov's trace file, the shadows don't render exactly the same as in my game, but lights on walls are still cut off diagonally like HMart reported. I also recorded my own

Thank you team for testing efforts Still need to test MESA driver compatibility

Still no answer from AMD guys.

I wonder how much time it usually takes for response...

Forever

 

??? How will anyone test MESA with no Linux binary in your patch ???

First someone needs to sign up for testing

Gents,

 

what are technical requirements for this?

 

I'm running TDM on my old HP EliteBook 8730w, 4GB RAM and Nvidia Quadro FX 2700M.

ArchLinux (x64) installed.

Not a top-notch set-up, but far enough for C++ development and playing TDM :-)

 

If this HW is enough for testing and you tell me what to test, I may help a bit.

 

(an attempt to compile TDM from source is on my waiting list so I unfortunately need binaries)

Do you get lights with stencil shadows in 2.07? If yes, then there is nothing to test for you :unsure:

Did anyone talked with the driver team boss on twitter like I suggested? He usually responds, even if to say "we are looking into it". At least that way, we know someone from the driver team is aware something is wrong. Using the normal bug report system, i'm sure it will end, on the end of the priority list, unless is a bug that affects some famous AAA game, because they will give priority to big commercial and famous games and not a free game.

 

btw if you guys want me to do it, just tell me what I should say and I will post it on his twitter page.

No.

His twitter looks like a personal one, I think it is wrong to write there with things like that.

Bumping priorities in this way also sounds wrong to me.

After all, since Duzenko found a workaround, their response is no longer critical.

 

Also, I don't like all that negative attitude towards drivers developers :angry:

They are our colleagues, with far more skills and problems than ourselves.

It is usually ordinary players who go to AMD/NVIDIA/Intel forums and complain there how bad their products/company/developers/whatever are without knowing anything at all.

And this is exactly the reason why it is so hard to reach the developers: I guess 99% of public bug reports are utter rubbish filled with negative emotions.

Hey all,

 

I've been away from TDM for a while and only yesterday noticed that 2.07 is out.

Seems I'm affected by the lighting issue as well (AMD RX 480 here).

On Windows I see the strange lighting described earlier in this thread, on Linux, I basically don't get any shadows at all.

I would be willing to do some testing on Linux (I'm running amdgpu on Manjaro with 4.19 kernel and Mesa 18.3.3), if that's still being looked for.

Mkay, so who can build trunk svn for Linux?

I get the output executable sized at 180MB after running

 scons BUILD="release" TARGET_ARCH="x64" -j6 ..

EDIT. It seems to be putting another executable into the source folder

Actually you're the first one to volunteer for Linux testing side of this

Ok, did some testing.

I think there might actually be two issues with the Linux build on my system - lighting in general and soft shadows in particular.

"r_useGLSL 0" fixes lighting in vanilla 2.07, but once I switch on soft shadows, it's borked again:

 

 

stlucia_2019-02-25_2082kz2.jpg

 

 

That's what it looks like with either GLSL=1 or soft shadows.

Now, GLSL=0 AND soft shadows "off" fixes the lighting, as far as I can tell with the vanilla 2.07 binary.

 

Using the binary provided by duzenko makes it work with GLSL=1:

 

stlucia_2019-02-25_211xkhs.jpg

 

So far, so good, but enabling soft shadows again just makes all shadows vanish (lighting remains, though):

 

stlucia_2019-02-25_21qvkbt.jpg

 

But it's a start!

 

Furthermore, using "maps" as shadow type makes the game crash to desktop on Linux.

Many thanks

That's the same problem - no support for gpu_shader4 extension for opengl 2.1 profile by driver

 

 

"r_useGLSL 0" fixes lighting in vanilla 2.07, but once I switch on soft shadows, it's borked again:

Right, soft shadows require GLSL.

 

 

Now, GLSL=0 AND soft shadows "off" fixes the lighting, as far as I can tell with the vanilla 2.07 binary.

That's the intended workaround for 2.07

 

 

Using the binary provided by duzenko makes it work with GLSL=1:

Good to know. Assume the fix is ready to roll out.

 

 

So far, so good, but enabling soft shadows again just makes all shadows vanish (lighting remains, though):

Right. The fix is to disable the parts that rely on gpu_shader4 which is SS.

 

 

Furthermore, using "maps" as shadow type makes the game crash to desktop on Linux.

Umm not sure how we debug CTDs on Linux. @stagtilov?

Up until the segfault part it seems to be the same as when I set stencil shadows (haven't compared it 1:1 though).

Would it make any sense if I suggested building from the source code on your side and running in debugger?

I am generally clueless about Linux and all our Linux devs are on sabbaticals currently.

Also, you might want to try r_ignoreGLErrors 0.

r_ignoreGLErrors does nothing, be it with 0 or 1.

Regarding building from source - I can try, although I don't have much experience with that (I've done it once or twice, but typically for smaller stuff), so I might need some kind of "tutorial". Particularly when it comes to debugging.

However, maybe other Linux users should first check whether shadow maps work for them, in the end it's just an issue with my system.

It must not CTD in any case

Achievement unlocked: find a new bug in TDM! :D

We skip loading of glFramebufferTextureARB if gpu_shader4 is not supported. I don't think we even need glFramebufferTextureARB at the point at all.

Please try svn rev 8002.

No crash with r8003 :) thanks!

 

 

Regarding building from source - I can try, although I don't have much experience with that (I've done it once or twice, but typically for smaller stuff), so I might need some kind of "tutorial". Particularly when it comes to debugging.

 

I found the info was a bit spread around:

 

There are two "thedarkmod.x64" binaries built... the ~200MB has the debugging symbols and what you want to run if you want to get a readable backtrace after a crash. Copy the exe to your darkmod installation and run it in the gdb debugger:

 

  • $ gdb -ex run ./thedarkmod.x64

When it crashes, you can type "bt" in gdb to generate the backtrace and then submit that.

 

That being said, when darkmod crashed for me the screen was left in the loading screen and I couldn't see my gdb window. I have a dual monitor setup, so I just ran darkmod from the secondary monitor and got the backtrace from there. Not quite sure what I'd do if I didn't have the second monitor.

Can you run TDM windowed on Linux?

      I posted about it before, but I think the default tdm logo video looks outdated. For a (i.m.o.) better looking version, you can download the pk4 attached to this post and plonk it in your tdm root folder. Every mission that starts with the tdm logo then starts with the better looking one. Try for example mission COS1 Pearls and Swine.

      I finished DOOM - The Dark Ages the other day. It is a decent shooter, but not as great as its predecessors, especially because of the soundtrack.
