Glow Buffer problem on 6200?

by Stan Miskiewicz · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 09/26/2005 (2:07 am) · 26 replies

So I'm having some problems with the latest version of the shader engine's bloom effect. I'm basically seeing the bloom effect not clear the buffer properly, so every time the effect starts it just draws over everything without clearing. This ends up in a sort of motion trail look.

This is the same strange effect in the demo, just double checking against the starter.fps

This is a bit of the strange effect I'm seeing on a geforce go 6200
compiled with .net 7.1, latest d3d9 aug. update. and latest video driver. I thought that it might be my video driver at first but I tried some of the directX demos to see if they would show the same effect.
www.okita.com/files/ss04.jpgthis is a similar use of the bloom/glow effect.

www.okita.com/files/ss01.jpgthis is another d3d app running with bloom without the sort of trail effect.

Has anyone else seen anything like this? I'm hoping to get this bug into the next update.
Thanks!

It happens to me as well... Is there a way to record a demo while I run the TSE demo? I would love for someone at Garagegames to see how bad this is.

I am running Windows XP SP2 with Directx 9.0c. I am running the Nvidia 81.98 drivers on a Nvidia GeForce 6600 GT.

I compiled TSE with Visual Studio 2005 Pro with the DirectX Dec 05 edition.

Ok my new 7800gs does not have this problem. Have you tried the latest drivers (17 / 03 / 06)

I'm having this problem also with a GeForce 6200SE Turbocache using the 8198 drivers and DirectX 02/2006 on Windows XP professional SP2. Just for the record, if it helps.

Just downloaded and installed 84.21 drivers from NVIDIA.com and glow problem has disappeared from my machine. I be happy.

Just wanted to pass this along.

My XFX GeForce 6500 has these issues on 82.12 forceware. I've tried updating to 84.21 but I just get an error during install saying it doesn't detect any hardware that's compatible.

Edit: The 84.43 driver solves it.
