Got a crash to desktop using the hotfix. I alerted some enemies and noclipped through a wall (brush). Very shortly after I popped out of the wall and into another area/visleaf the game crashed.

 

I can't compare it to regular 2.07 because I updated my installation. However, it is reproducible, which I honestly did not expect. I have a crashdump for you here, it's from the first time I experienced the crash. It's rather large and it's available here. Hope it helps.

TDM 2.07-hotfix is ready for beta test   The installation/update instructions are the same as for the recently finished 2.07 beta testing:           This hotfix release is intended mainly to fix seri

Heh. All is good. I don't get a crash when I enable maps.

Oh, please, don't be so strict! Any bug report or feedback is welcome! I only wanted to spread the word about that wiki article: posting the link in appropriate conditions is the only way to make it

Oh damn!

I was saving all PDBs during all the beta phases.

And now that they are needed for the first time, I forgot to save them for the hotfix build :o

 

I'm afraid the only way now is to switch to release branch, build fresh binary and use chkmatch to forge signature in pdb :unsure:

Do we have a wiki for that?

Why new pdb's won't work simply?

More or less.

It is mentioned on the wiki, just search for chkmatch.

There is a link to the page where it is explained how to use it.

 

Why new pdb's won't work simply?

I think every time you build something, it has some sort of date embedded, so it is slightly different even if you build same stuff.

PDB files have signature (aka hash) of the binaries they are meant for. If signature does not match, PDB won't load.

The chkmatch replaces the signature, so that specified PDB becomes "compatible" to specified EXE.

As long as you use same sources/compiler/properties, the newly created PDB should be actually compatible, but it depends.

I have just applied this hotfix to a freshly updated 2.07 install, and can report it fixes my lighting issue. My machine isn't AMD, instead it's Intel integrated graphics. Without the hotfix I was literally in the dark -- not blind, but definitely invisible to all AI!

 

Am not sure what information is helpful for testing: system is Fedora 29, my graphics is described (lspci) as "Intel Corporation HD Graphics 620 (rev 02)".

Due to technical issues, I had to rebuild TDM and create another beta package.

Unless something wrong happens, it will become the new 2.07.

 

Please update as described in the first post, and check that 1) it still works, and 2) old savegames are loaded without warnings.

Hmm...

 

Not sure if I should bother to stir this up.

 

If I complete WS5 "iron man" style, and only save before exiting the game will crash to desktop

on mission complete "if I have shadow maps enabled". This is weirdly repeatable.

 

Once I enable stencil shadows and complete the mission, all subsequent completions with shadow maps enabled

work as expected. I have a hunch that the auto-save at mission finale is looking for some stencil specific attribute

that shadow maps don't offer but once a proper completion is made with stencil mode then shadow maps reuse this data.

It seems like a rather specious hunch since I do not crash on mission complete for other missions "shrug".

Do you have single pass shadow maps on?

Can you get the crash stack trace when running TDM from inside VS2017?

I payed on hard and get a crash on mission completion - did Grayman have an outro and the crash is that being played..?

Single-pass is not on.

 

I haven't yet done this in VS2017 but I thought I'd report that the same thing is reproducible in SVN debug with Inlines.

Unfortunately, no informative error happened before the crash.

 

I'll dig a little deeper.

Reported this as issue 5030.

Nbohr1more, please copy your findings about reproducibility to there.

I think I've found an issue. AMD users, take a look at the running water in the sewers on "Lords & Legacy". It has artifacts. I'm using a Ryzen 2400G...

How does it look normally? I've tried that mission right now and I can't see any obvious problem.

A minor note: TDM 2.07 hotfix has been finally released.

The old ("original") 2.07 version is no longer available (except by tdmsync prototype).

 

To everyone having TDM 2.07:

Please run tdm_update to make sure you have the latest version.

Note that savegames from any kind of TDM 2.07 will load properly in the latest/hotfixed version.

 

P.S. And please execute r_useFBO 1 in game console and make sure this cvar stays enabled.

I had the white compass issue myself today with nVidia card. r_useFBO 1 fixed it for me.

What does r_useFBO 1 mean and can this be set as a default if it fixed this?

It is 1 by default since 2.07 I think

However in 2.06 it was 0 by default and most likely persisted during the update

 

 

What does r_useFBO 1 mean

Just an opengl feature we started using recently

You should better make sure that it is because it does indeed fix the white compass :)! I just added a note for that to the bugtracker...

It is 1 by default since 2.07. It's better to do full installs of a new version, or at least to delete the cfg, if you upgrade.

This should be the job of the TDM updater then, or we can just remove it if we need a full install anyway.

      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.
