Please can we have some attention to the current disconnect between the stealth score and the guard alert level and discovery status for the new release?

Bugtracker?

There is alread one: https://bugs.thedarkmod.com/view.php?id=5888

@AraneidaeIt's the right way to bring up bugs and create an entry in the bugtracker. However, you cannot expect that things get solved automatically just because they got reported! It's a matter of the impact the issue has, how many people consider it serious and most and for all, whether someone who is capable of addressing the issue has the time, motivation and some clue on how to solve the issue.

On that note, since we are an open source project if you wish to appeal to any outside parties or communities who understand Doom 3 AI coding to see whether anyone is interested in developing a patch, feel free to spread the word. It may also be worthwhile to create a thread about this in the "I want to help" forum so that potential new developers see this when deciding what to offer TDM to elevate their chances of gaining trust and joining the team (etc).

DAMN, *REALLY* nice boost on Radeon GPUs with the lastest drivers with OpenGL 20 years long awaited improvements! (they've totally rewritten the driver, I got freaking improvements in old OGL 2.1 era games too)

+50% with the same settings on an old RX 570! (55 FPS -> 80 FPS)

But maybe there's something wrong (?) with the brightness, now with gamma @1.2 the scene is really dark (you can see the PITCH BLACK in the screenshot before 😐 )

Are you using the default shaders or did you install the fresnel mod ? If the latter, I can send you an updated version that works with the latest dev build.

Is this aimed at me or at Araneidae? If the first, I am not active at any other community nor do I know anyone outside of this community familiar with idTech4 coding.

The only word that I can spread is: If you want things to get implemented or fix, the most reliable way is to learn coding.

Yes, this was directed at Araneidae.

Please invoke reloadGLSLprograms then condump ambientproblems.txt and post the resultant file. Thank you!

It happens the same with the 2.10, so no problem with the build. It's the new driver 😛

Well, in the savegame screenshot the gamma/brightness is right!

But there's a black box down&left (2.11 SVN)

It's an issue with the ambient occlusion. If you disable it (r_ssao 0), it should fix the issue. I'll try to look into it later.

Yes, it is the SSAO. Thanks!

I think it's important that you devs are in the know of the new AMD OpenGL driver, it's amazing how it's fast (and I hope compliant to OpenGL).

+50% on GCN-era GPUs is simple a gift from the (graphics) heavens 😛

Yeah, I am aware. I'm evaluating an all-AMD laptop right now, and it raised FPS from 90 to 200 fps in St. Lucia. That's pretty wild. (Though admittedly, the 90 fps were with SSAO enabled, so the comparison isn't quite fair. Still, that's probably the most significant performance increase that a driver update has provided, ever.)

Try renaming darkmod.exe to doomx64.exe

Makes zero difference on the newest driver. Don't think that particular trick survived whatever magic overhaul they pulled for this update. All the better, though :)

Anyway, would have been shocking if they had managed such a massive update without introducing new bugs. In this case, they broke the findMSB function in GLSL - the compiler goes haywire on it in ssao.frag.glsl (line 81). It does work if we just use the fallback that's already in the shader behind an #ifdef, and I just checked and the fallback doesn't seem to perform any different on my NVIDIA card, so ... 🤷‍♂️ Would be the easiest way to fix it that I can see.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      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.
