Units/objects disappear, strange textures

[brodul]

I have following issues:













As you can see. There are units missing or the textures are really FU.

s3tc texture compression is not on linux by default. I think you need MESA drivers?

Also try /advmapshading 0 when ingame

[brodul]

I enabled the s3tc texture compression. With the driconf program.

I will try the:

Code: Select all

/advmapshading 0

Tnx for the reply.

Update:

It doesn't help.

Same problem here, sometimes building will start disappearing and only black shadow would be visible. Units however completely disappear. Using integrated Intel card.

[brodul]

With debug on.



We have played around 5 games 1Vs1.

It seems that only one player is experiencing that kind of problem at once. I dont think this makes sense.

We both have similar hardware. My is a Lenovo X201T and he has a X201.

[brodul]

We manage to remove the bug. With correct settings.

I think one of these settings needs to be added to ~/.springrc

Code: Select all

3DTrees = 0
AdvMapShading = 0
AdvUnitShading = 0
LoadingMT = 0
LuaShaders = 0
ReflectiveWater = 0

We deleted the following ones:

Code: Select all

AdvSky = 1
CamFreeEnabled = 1
snd_airAbsorption = 0

Will try to pin-point which one causes the problems described above.

[jamerlan]

It's all known issues. Spring has these visual bugs only with intel video cards. So I think that spring is unplayable with intel video. I hope these bugs will be fixed in the future, but I doubt that it will happen in the nearest future.

With your changes - all visual bugs dissappeared? If yes, your workaround should be posted to wiki or smth like that.

[iElectric]

We played about 5 more rounds and no issues so far.

[SpliFF]

LoadingMT=0 is probably the important change. Without it Spring tries to use an "offscreen context" during the loading screen and corrupts the main buffer because the code/drivers for offscreen GLX don't work well in Mesa. Not sure if the bug is in Spring or the radeon/intel drivers or a combination of both.

I pushed to have Offsceen contexts disabled by default because of this issue but jK says no because otherwise the offscreen code won't get tested. I personally feel it's been tested enough and the conclusion is the offscreen code is unsuitable for being enabled in releases (at least on mesa systems). At best you get a couple of seconds reduced from Springs' game start time but at the expense of a range of glitches like floating objects and missing/incorrect textures. Rewritting the GLX code might be able to fix it but I don't think anyone is volunteering to do that (I don't think any engine devs are even using OS radeon/intel so it seems like something that's unlikely to get fixed).

With the right settings and the latest versions of kernel, libkms and mesa Spring is playable under os mesa. The trick is to disable certain special effects like stipple, offscreen rendering and certain shaders but doing so is not straightforward and can require modifying obscure settings or even the Spring source.

I know this is an old topic, but I have the same problem and it is not solved by LoadingMT=0.

Also the other options don't work.

This is what it looks like:

Only same buildings and shadows remain.

Sometimes everything becomes grey and you see even less:


And me too, I have an Intel video card. Sometimes I also get errors like: "Warning: Waiting packet limit was reached for Tzwenn AI #0 [packets dropped]"

Anyone has another idea?

i didn't read the full post, but i have similar problems with the opensource ati drivers... spring 91.0 does some invalid opengl calls, should be fixed in 92.0. (can't find the commit...) disabling Red Minimap / Minimap widgets should/could help, too if not already done.

[Johannes]

disabling Red Minimap / Minimap widgets should/could help, too if not already done.

Even full /luaui disable didn't affect the issue for me.
