[BUG 1.1A] Pixel Shader 2.0 issue

by Joshua Halls (Xerves) · in Torque 3D Professional · 12/26/2009 (6:58 pm) · 4 replies

Getting the following error from a procedural shader (pretty much a bucketload of these).

I don't recall this being an issue in 1.01 as SM2 worked fine in it. Stole a Netbook and was curious what it could/couldn't do and these errors are causing some issues. When SM3/4 cards are forced into SM2 I get the same errors as well.

The Repopulation/common/shaders/procedural/9f86c46ff260fc71_P.hlsl(74,12): error X5608: Compiled shader code uses too many arithmetic instruction slots (69). Max. allowed by the target (ps_2_0) is 64.

    I think there is a fix here for this. Will try it and report back. Seems to be the issue though.

    Still the same issue with the fix. Pretty sure this is a known issue though as some others had to back out some material changes to get rid of this issue.

    We're aware of this issue and will be fixing it during the 1.1 beta.

    This issue still remains in 1.1beta

    Graphic cards using pixel shader 2.0 continue to fail if pixel specular is turned on (1).
