With the SECOND release of "new opengl" AMD driver

Task is not so much to see what no one has yet seen but to think what nobody has yet thought about that which everybody see. - E.S.

I replugged cable to my AMD RX 550, and I can definitely reproduce the same issue. I have severe performance degradation (like 3x or 4x) in New Job on all shadows except for hard stencil. And t

It seems that when I pass vec2[150] to a function, AMD compiler honestly generates copying instructions 🤔 Copying 1.2 KB of data on every fragment is quite slow...

2.11 beta 01 is currently in the installer list. The thread about it will be out soon but you can test it now. That said, we need to bisect your performance problem by having you test older build

2.11 dev of course.

Will re-download 2.08 soon (got an SSD catastrophic failure :D -> new SSD -> I'm reinstalling all the software)

Tested the release build of 2.10. No problem at all!

So it's something in the 2.11 (dev/bet)

Psst! In the latest dev build try setting:

r_useDebugGroups 0

This was set to 1 in dev16617-10107

 

Beat me to it, was just coming here to say this.
Keep in mind it will be back to 1 after restart as it's default in the code is enabled.
The next beta update will probably have it disabled again. Stupid AMD

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

Thanks!

Please try Dev Build dev16599-10071

Problem is already there.

r_usedebuggroups makes no difference in the last dev build.

nailed.

A few big changes occurred there. It looks like we didn't commit any binaries to SVN between these releases. Are you able to compile from source?

If so, can you try compiling 10037 ( big shadow change )?

Could you please run the game with:

  • r_ignoreGlErrors 0
  • r_glDebugContext 1
  • r_glDebugOutput 2

Then get to the place which is slow and take a condump?
Are you sure you get no GLSL warnings/errors and no OpenGL error spam?

Does the issue go away when you:

  • Turn off SSAO?
  • Both on stencil shadow and shadow maps?
  • Turn off shadows (execute: r_shadows 0; reloadmodels) ?

Other than that, we can bisect further by revisions... although that would take time if you cannot build the game yourself.

Of course I can build the exe.

SSAO and Stencil/ShadowMaps already tested, not the culprit.

Will try disabling the shadows at all.

Shadows!

r_shadows 0 (and no need to relead models) ->

stlucia-2022-12-07-08-59-57-1916-83-4282

77 FPS instead of 18

So no need to build anything?

I'm not so sure 😥

I would try svn rev 10040, and if it is slow with shadows, then revs 10039-10037 too.
Otherwise, try svn revs 10070-10066.
I don't think anything else relates to the problem.

By the way, did you try "r_useNewBackend 0" (out of curiosity) ?

And condump with GL errors enabled is still welcome.

SSAO is in a postprocessing stage, right? Because that's the release where it got fixed on AMD.

Doubled-checked! YES, 10067 is the first, 10066 is working.

      So on a regular basis I try to start building something in Darkradiant but very quickly I loose interest and give up.
      I tend to
      create a room, position an ai in it (or first ai, then room, probably better) put a light in it Put some stuff in it test the room in tdm Now I had this new idea:
      Start of with a gigantic room. To skip the importance of sealing for the time being and to think broader than one room. Then just use ground without wall, just to visualise the structure of the level.  Then just use prefab walls and other elements (arches, etc.). Just building area's that aren't enclosed. I can always close them at a later point. Maybe this is all very logical from a mappers perspective, but tdm is the first game where I have done any kind of real mapping and I always stop at the start. It just takes too long to make something exciting.
      I want to build something at some point, because over time I accumulated lots of ideas.

      It would be nice to have a link to the forum thread of a mission in download section, rather than having to search for it manually, like on Thief Guild.

      Terribly difficult juggling map designing with work, but I'm still alive and chipping away at something very special. I'm actually making a collaboration of sorts with a friend, I make the map itself and he acts as my "Chief Scope Creep Consultant" that checks in every so often to make sure this project isn't getting out of hand. It's a good system!
