1.3.13 Beta release

[chopkinsca]

I forget what my shader settings were. I tried every possible combination and couldn't get the error to happen anymore. I'll post again if it comes up again.

Attempted startup (with the pk3 in the zip and with r553's):

Code: Select all

Script error, "gzdoom.pk3:actors/actor.txt" line 30:
Unknown native variable 'uservar'

[Gez]

Just delete that line with slumped. Randy rewrote how uservars are handled.

I reuploaded a fixed archive.

And back to the ATI issues:

This is really getting frustrating. All I get is vague reports (and even some occasional bitching about supposed instability) but absolutely nothing that could help me track down and potential issues.

Right now the lack of ATI feedback is the only reason why there's no final 1.3 release. I know it works fine on NVidia but I'm not so sure about ATI in general. So unless I get some kind of feedback I'll have to tag the release with (not guaranteed to work with ATI) - which I clearly do not want to do.

I'm preparing a new benchmark this afternoon which I'm going to announce officially later once I got all the needed savegames and WAD links together. Please participate! This may help improve your experience.

[Rachael]

Well, Graf, I use ATI, and I have to say GZDoom has been stable so far for me. I don't know where all the other problems are coming from. There's the gamma issue, but it's so easy to ignore right now because I just set ATI's gamma thing and it sets it for all games anyhow - so I'm really not concerned about it. Other people? That's them.

[Graf Zahl]

Ok. Good to know. Now all that's left is one comprehensive benchmark on different systems and if that goes well the final release should be there soon.

[Enjay]

I can see if GZdoom will work on my daughter's laptop. I'm pretty sure that it has an ATI card of some sort. Of course, being a lappy and one certainly not set up for gaming, it's quite possibly not exactly a top-notch graphics card anyway. I'll report back what happens.

[The Ultimate DooMer]

Well...my 256 meg X1300 Pro isn't showing any signs of trouble, even my framerate-chewing maps aren't flinching any more than usual.

[Enjay]

OK, my daughter's laptop with a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series (drivers updated a few days ago) was able to start GZdoom r580, play MAP01, move on to MAP02, allow the player to die, load a save game, warp to MAP30, kill the bossbrain, show the end text and cast call. I was also able to set my preferred options (before I started an actual game) and change screen resolution after the cast call and then started a new game. It seemed to be running very well and, although it was only a short test, I wasn't aware of any problems at all. And all that running off a pen drive.

Log of the above test:

OKay, the rendering error I mentioned is happening again. I tried changing the shaders again and this time it always gave the error. I'm not sure what kind of info I can give to be helpful though.

About feedback from ATI users, I've never had many problems with it. And when I do have a problem I try my best to report it. I just suck at reporting stuff.

[Whoo]

From what I've gathered is that older generation ATi cards(Radeon 9200 to say, x1600) are having problems. It could be the way the older drivers handle OpenGL rendering, though I'm not entirely sure. I'll gladly test the benchmark to help figure out what the problem is.

[uraniumhexaflouride]

ATI user reporting in.
This new version seems to be working splendidly, and whatever new renderer you're using is giving me a 30-100% boost in framerate in comparison to v1.2.0.1.
The only issue is that the dynamic light shaders aren't working.
With dynamic light shaders, lights don't show up at all; without them, they show up normally as before.

Logfiles follow.

[Graf Zahl]

What I can say is that apparently the dynamic light shader uses something that your card can't handle. I suspect it's the for loop using uniforms. But without that feature it's not possible to do it at all. I think I have to change the error checks so that it disables that option if the shader does not compile.

[Orakagi]

Am I the only one where the dynamic lighting doesn't work? I didn't even realize that it didn't until I ran Doom on Skulltag and I saw the glowing effects. They work just fine there, just not over GZDoom.
