Render bug, large black box occluding screen


V-Man339

Recommended Posts

This seems to happen while leaning forward and frobbing, possibly in noclip?

Will edit if I can replicate/get it to occur.

Solved by restarting the game.

 

Happened on Requiem and Perilous Refuge.

 

Update: I have recorded the bug in action.

 

My settings.

Have you updated the AMD GPU drivers recently? If you didn't and they worked before in TDM than imo it can't be the GPU drivers. Not really connected to TDM but after some recent windows 10 updates, I started having serious problems in visual studio 2015, so is no surprise to me that recent windows updates could be f things up on TDM, because of messing with OpenGL. 

edit: 

Tested Requiem and did everything you said, lean forward, frob and no clip and saw no black box.  TDM 2.09/64 (not final version) my GPU AMD RX 570X, so if it ends being the GPU, perhaps this only happens on modern Vega cards?

I think it's a problem with AMD or Windows drivers. After the last windows update MSI Afterburner has an error message (but it continues to work).

It would appear my drivers are up to date.

Here is one way to diagnose the problem.

Go to 2.09 beta testing thread, and look at the list of cvars in the first/second post.
Try setting them on/off and see which how they affect your problem.

Could I get a link to this thread?

There ya go.

 

You can try toggling some or all of these:

 

r_useNewBackend 0

r_fboColorBits 32

r_useBindlessTextures 0

r_postprocess_sharpen 0

r_useMultiDrawIndirect 0

r_usePersistentMapping 0

r_ssao 0

r_tonemap 0

r_softShadowsQuality 0

Attempted the list of commands to fix, no shift. The solution was to restart game, the cause/prevention has still not been found.

Try "r_skipGuiShaders 1" and check if the black quad is gone.
Since it overlaps console, I think it is some GUI element, which is for some reason.
Also, various backend switches don't help.

Also it is worth trying to set "com_smp 0" and "r_useParallelAddModels 0" (this one is "Frontend Acceleration") before the quad appears and see if it will show up again.
I have a feeling that when the quad appears, toggling options is already too late.

Confirmed more or less.

Once the bug is in effect it won't go away based on console command.

Another possible clue:

This only happens when both 64-bit and Bloom are active.

I suspect that this is some sort of artifact of exceeding data or instruction limits...

I doubt @V-Man339 had these user-made shaders when he discovered the problem.

Correct, I have not modified The Dark Mod with anything resembling that which people would not have in base install.

@cabalistic

I fixed a similar bug in my silly fresnel mod.

What are the chances that this line in bloom_blur.glsl can have a negative result?

FragColor += texture(u_source, (fragCoord - u_axis * offset[i]) * invImageSize) * weight[i]

Not sure how helpful it is but it is possible to get multiple squares.

It is also possible for a square to pop up much later than another square.

UPDATE:

They do not just come in black.

I'm getting semi-transparent red blocks here.

They were gained while staring in this direction, I am unable to replicate this on video.

Edit: Better view here, angle of execution. Lower right.

Try this package. It's not much, I just added a negative number guard to the bloom blur and ambient rim color.

It's a quick repack of my fresnel mod. If it cures the issue then maybe that is all we need.tdm_base01.pk4

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
