Spring RTS Engine

Hello there, Spring is crashing after I updated Spring Engine to latest version when it loads any mod

Here goes a infolog file with the last crash while trying to load BA7.14

Downgrade to Catalyst 10.4.

Catalyst 10.4 has no shadows for me (and no bump water and no lups jitter effect)

Then low a bit to 10.3. I have both shadows and bump water.

Including shorewaves and without horizontal artifacts?

Generally yes. See images.

Wow cool, must try it. Lups is completely dead for me at 10.4 now (it used to work pre 82

downgrading to 10.04 gives me compatibility with Spring, however it has other specific problems with other games and also will reduce my game performance

I still can't play Spring, even downgrading to 10.4 it still gives a lot of errors, this release does not natively support 1920x1080 resolution, also the only way to play Spring is choosing lowest configuration in spring settings, because when I choose high detail or even normal the game crashes I'm really disappointed coz Spring 0.80 does not crash with Catalyst 10.4.

I've made a rollback, I tried 10.3, 10.2, 10.1 drivers, all of them report the same error, with different exception handlers, I cannot run spring with any eye candy, it crashes before the start of the game, I don't know what to do, this hurts me a lot because I love spring and it is the only good open source RTS out there and IMO one of the best RTS games since original TA

I've been able to play the game only and once with Spring 0.83 release

can someone give me a light? Mine is dimming

I'm so sorry, but his story was heartbreaking.

i have the same problem with 10.4, it worked fine with previous spring version

You said it worked once, then it didn't work again. This bug is probably the problem: http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.ph ... 89#p443989

If you're playing BA, backup then delete the Spring\LuaUI\Config\BA.lua file. If another mod, do the same with the appropriate config file. It should work.

In Spring settings, do NOT have dynamic clouds and high-res clouds activated AT THE SAME TIME! It will give you the dreaded atioglxx.dll driver crash (at least for me, i have a Radeon 4870 and am using the Catalyst 10.7 Beta OpenGL ES 2.0 drivers which Yuri linked to, they resolved my old driver crash issues). If you have only one of the two settings activated it works fine.

Another strange thing just figured out: If using bump-mapped water, using shorewaves ONLY works on maps with water, but will cause the driver crash for maps WITHOUT water.

There are more respectful ways to encourage support for things. Some people (the wonderful developers who spend a lot of their free time making spring) might take offense to your statement.

objectively false -- no trolling please

I demand a refund!

Fill out the warranty card 3.05a in the wiki and we'll send your money back asap.

Why even buy an ATI these days

Fixed.

Here is screenshot with my graphics options which are compatible with Spring 0.82.3. I have HD5770 and i'm using Catalyst 10.3. Hope this will help ATI users.


I would like to note that enabling "Use Pixelbuffer objects" gives me a crash. I'm sure that enabling some other options (compare with your own) may easily crash Spring.
