TGEA 1.8 Mac release, 3D rendering failure

#1 Final lines of console log for Barebones mission:

Quote:*** Phase 3: Mission Lighting
Successfully loaded mission lighting file: 'scriptsAndAssets/data/missions/barebones_65b2f5ffsg.ml'

#2 Bet it's the water. That's the common factor in the three missions you can't run. Do you get a crash log or anything of that sort?

#3 Nope. It just hangs and eventually starts to partially render something (depending of window position) when switching to other applications, but it is really out of control and I have to force quit.

You got the point Alex, without the waterblock, mission is rendered. :)

#4 Probably a driver bug. If I get time I'll look into it and file a bug with Apple.

#5 Same issue here, same Graphic card.

#6 Haven't looked into this yet, but try updating to 10.5.6. I know Apple fixed a couple of issues with their X1600 drivers which I think might be related.

#7

Quote:Haven't looked into this yet, but try updating to 10.5.6. I know Apple fixed a couple of issues with their X1600 drivers which I think might be related.

Upgrading does not fix anything.

#8 Neither does here :(

#9 Hummm....

Same Graphics card here, and what is this line in my console.log?:

GFXCardProfiler (GL2.0) - Setting capability 'GL::Workaround::X1600DepthBufferCopy' to 0.

#10 That line dates back to very early implementations of TGEA on OS X where having glow in the scene without a refractive object, such as water, would result in a complete lockup under Mac OS 10.4.11 with an X1600. The glow implementation has since been changed so it is no longer an issue, and we don't support Mac OS 10.4.11 anyways.

#11 I'm also seeing this problem, same graphics card. I noticed that the physical memory was incorrectly reported as 2gb, though I have 3gb. The log stops at the same place, too. Console.log starts with:

#12 If it helps, the following is reported in the system log as soon as the demo attempts to render the mission:

#14 Could we get any update on this bug?

#15 In GFXGLDevice::blitWindowToRT (it's around line 628 in gfxGLDevice.cpp) add an && false to the first if statement.

#16 Thank you Alex! Looks great!

#17 Incidentally, that codepath has been completely removed in 1.8.1. Clearly it's causing more trouble than it's worth.

#18 yes, thank you!

i had gotten around the hang by commenting out the waterblock, but actually seeing water is much better :)
