TSE demo not working on ATI 9200.

#1 That's exactly what I see on my computer with a GeForce3 64MB card (Gigabyte GV-GF3000). Current drivers and DX9b.

It works great on a different computer with a ATI 9000 Pro 128MB with current drivers tho.

#2 Update,

I'm getting the same thing with the updated shader demo. Any one else using a 9200?

Nathan.

#3 Nathan, did try modifying the forcedPixVersion to 1.4 as well? What pixel shader version does the console automatically detect? (Look in console.log for the lines below "Direct3D Device Found")

#4 I'm using a Radeon 9500 and come up with the same pink screen.

700mhz AMD
288MB RAM
WindowsME
DX9b
Radeon 9500
Catalyst 4.3(omega)* *4.3 is the highest the WindowsME drivers go

#5 OK, we don't have a 9200 or 9500 to test on, our 8500, 9500, 9600, 9700, 9800, and X800 all work fine though. This is a driver issue, contact ATI, there's really nothing we can do about it.

#6 Are you guys all on Win98/ME?

#7 Nathan,

I have a 9200 with the latest catylst drivers. Seems to work fine for me. I also swapped in a 9800 on the same machine and things are ok. I'm running XP Pro as the OS with the latest version of DX9.

#8 TSE may not support 98 properly. It's not an OS we've done much testing on - everyone here runs XP, Linux, or OS X. If there's a big need for the support, we can look into it.

#9 Sure this is not a camera issue?

I took out all the markers for the cam path. And i got the pink screen. No place to render/nothing to render?

#10 Hmmm I run XP pro a ATI All In Wonder 9200 and it runs fine!

#11 I have directx 9 and the latest nvidia drivers on my geforce TI 4200 ... and it tells me it can't find a card capable of 1.1 pixel shaders...

it didn't say that before I updated my drivers, but it did say I had old drivers and needed to update them, plus the text had little boxes around it.

Windows 2000
2.6Ghz Intel, 512m RAM

#12 Just for reference, here's the specs on my PC with "Pink screen":

AMD 1.4GHz
1GB PC-133 RAM
WinXP HE SP1
GeForce3 64MB(Gigabyte GV-GF3000 w/current drivers).
DX9b

There were no issues whatsoever with my Win98 box, other than relatively low fps (9-15 pretty steady the entire demo at high resolution).

Win98 latest updates, 512M, approx 1.5GHz
GeForce 5600 Ultra 128M (and I didn't touch drivers, and they almost have to be out of date, wasn't going to muck around with them for a demo)
DirX 9.0B

So in other words, I doubt that much of what you did was OS specific enough to cause a problem simply due to Win98, since mine worked fine.

#14 Drivers are mysterious creatures.

Do you guys have your performance sliders on the middle or "quality" settings instead of the "performance" settings?

#15 No luck with "Performance" either, Ben.

I see there are two of us with AMD rigs. I wonder if this could be a hint? Mine is one of the original Athlon (Classic?).
Asus K7V mobo.

#16 Have you tried the latest build of the demo?

#17 No. I'll try it tonight when I have an hour and a half to download it. :)

#18 Another update.

I tried the following suggestions:

- forcing Pix version to 1.1, 1.3, 1.4
- pulled the sliders all the way over to performance in D3D tab.
- turning off 2nd monitor on my dual monitor setup.
- tried shader related demos from the Ogre project and most of them work w/o a glitch.

My setup:

- Athlon Thunderbird 800
- 512 mb RAM
- Ati 9200 128 mb.
- ECS K7S5A v1.0 motherboard.
- Winxp Pro Sp1
- DirectX v9b.

I would really like to see the cool new effects please help.

Nathan.

#19 Ben, no luck with the updated version either. =/

#20 Another thing to try is running Driver Cleaner. If you haven't been uninstalling your previous drivers before installing new ones, then you can get some nasty side effects.
