Hmm it's still a bit faster for me, with darkmod64.exe I get 200-207 fps at the start scene of Written in Stone.

With it renamed to DoomX64.exe I get 215-220fps

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

But doomx64 is not an ID4 Tech game (like TDM), so maybe you'll have some issues with that specific forced optimization.

Any news about the SSAO fix in the master trunk?

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.

I applied this workaround at Rev 10065

I didn't see any performance difference either ( GTX 1050 ). I guess if someone howls we can use a vendor check and pass the result via an app variable ?

This is happening in other missions besides "In Plain Sight"? You have updated to v1.2 ?

I am unable to replicate locally. Are you using the Dev Build executable rev 10036 or are you compiling the latest SVN trunk? If the latter, I believe that some of the GUI code has changed and you would need newer core GUI assets.

Compiling the trunk of course (to have the SSAO fix)

You'll need to download the latest dev build (which contains assets, including GUIs), then replace the .exe and glprogs by compiling from trunk.

Oh, the assets/GUI ! Where I can find the them? Via TDM installer?

Correction:

The SVN glprogs will work with the Dev Build executable

The Dev Build executable must be paired to the Dev Build gui while the SVN executable must be paired with the SVN gui.

The next Dev Build will have the proper pairing. If you prefer, I can zip the SVN gui folder so you will have the latest.

I'll wait.

In fact, it's NOT working with the dev assets (just tested)

Having a problem with mirror mirror.mstrmnds.me, using auto mirror selection.  Had to kill (with Ctrl-C) and try again.

Switching to the Cabalistic mirror and everything went straight through.

This is after switching to the latest beta (dev16599-10071), have been playing CoSD1 faultlessly with the previous beta (dev16574-10036).

Yeah, and it's not happening again.  Ho hum.  Was hoping the limited logs contained a clue.  Will see what happens...

Perhaps better enable automatic saving of crashdumps for this particular executable?

      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!

      Things have been so bad these days for me...
      Just a year ago, I've been feeling dizzy, I thought it was nothing, today's stress, that type of thing, went to sleep...Still dizzy! 9 more days dizzy, went to doctor (I would have gone on the first day if NOT for the long appointment time)
      Said it may be Neck Dizziness...I did exercises for 6 months, no changes.
      Went to a Physical Therapist, went to another, no changes.
      I've asked my doctor for a full check this time.
      I hated yesteryear so much due to personal reasons, this year might be the same.
      To be brutally honest, I'd rather have cancer or/and chronic pain than suffer dizziness any second longer, especially when nothing helps.
      Hard to enjoy Thief when you're dizzy so I was hoping this year, Winter will be best for me.
