Spring RTS Engine

There is no replacement for immediate mode in lua, so please just print the warning for ATi users. PS: And perhaps start a petition, so ATI fixes their drivers. As long as you proved that it is really caused by this (with a small demo app). This issue seems much more complex, because the leak is tr...

haven't tested it, but a display list may be free of this problem.

trepan: according to testing done here http://springrts.com/mantis/view.php?id=1573, it's catalyst 9.8.

as a temporary workaround, you can greatly reduce the leak by disabling unconditional drawing of command queues. edit cmdcolors.txt and replace with

my experimental results indicate that after removing the biggest offenders from the engine, it's relatively safe to use GL_LINES and friends - but the next version will print a warning every 120 frames if you use them.

you can try downgrading catalysts to 9.7 or earlier. hopefully the problem will be fixed in the next spring release.

Edit: Ouch, even stuff like customformations seems to have this.

Code: Select all

yeah, that was one of the things that led me to this conclusion, unfortunately.

DO NOT USE GL_LINES AND IMMEDIATE MODE (glBegin/glEnd). i found it to be the cause of ATI driver memory leak, which is (most likely) responsible for crashes without stacktrace that have been recently happening.

i've done this more times than i can count, and i don't play that much.

if i'm not mistaken, there's not a single replay in all those topics. post some please.

or host-only unsynced-network lua callin.

actually, i'm for a more complex proposal: enable some spectators to pause (and perform other interesting commands) and some not. useful for e.g. referees.

does your tasclient run with admin privileges? if it does, push to talk won't work anywhere. (vista/7 issue only afaik, run mumble as admin as a workaround)

don't forget you'll still need to elevate for autoupdates, as springlobby does.

btw i strongly suggest making springdownloader not elevate itself, it's annoying and unnecessary.

no idea what can be the cause here. 1. don't run spring in xp compatibility mode, it should work fine natively. 2. Error opening C:\Program Files (x86)\Spring\maps\Dworld_V1.sd7: Unexpected end of file (truncated?) - delete this file 3. disable reflective/refractive water if you're using it 4. gener...

unfortunately, it's a well known fact that intel drivers for GMA chips aren't worth a dime. don't get your hopes up.

examples or it didn't happen.

you'll have to disable most defensive structures or lots of games will end in draws.

yes, they do. this is probably related to smooth mesh stuff. submit a replay please.

Why does it give this error at unit death and not execute script.Killed()?

Code: Select all

attempt to yield across metamethod/C-call boundary

does it work if you remove sleeps?
