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 ?

Other FMs too!

 

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.

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?

      Dammit there are too many missions available now. That's what I get for being away for so long. Such a first-world problem.

      The best thing about not mapping more than like every other year is the awesome feeling to see how far TDM has gotten in all appartments. I can just create some parallaxing cobblestones and walk to and fro and just let the jaw drop

      Hey, was trying to use the TDM_Update.exe file, but when I do it doesn't do anything! It just goes back to 2.12. I'm trying to run Luitenant 4, but it won't update, so I can't play it. What am I doing wrong?

      Been away for quite a long time, didn't have much free time sadly, but the little that I had I was able to play a Romhack for Ocarina of Time called "Sands of Time".
      It's great, fun, rather hard but too but I like it (except when it's way too tedious, only some parts are, not all of them)
      Although the reason I'm sharing this is...Listen to the music, I've timestamped it to 27:56, it's titled "Memories Lost".
      Doesn't it sound so serene, so melodic...So Thief-like? It's fantastic, I love it, it reminded me of Thief and how much I want to get back to it, so hopefully this month or the next, I will have a lot of free time to play it.
      I can't wait to try that new big Thief campaign, The Black Parade, it seems to be promising.
      No spoilers please, but can someone tell me if it has horror elements? Or better yet, horror mission...Or even missionS?
