All I get is pink :)

by Shawn · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 06/17/2004 (4:09 pm) · 7 replies

Well I thought I would try the new shader engine demo, but all I get is the hud, and pink behind it. I have the latest stable ATI 9700 pro driver dated 5/15/2004 version 6.14.10.6451,and DX 9.0b SDK update installed. I have tried both debug and retail versions. The card settings are cranked to high, even tried low.

This problem seems to be an ATI issue that is being examined as we speak. Can you please post the section of the console log that shows the extensions that are being loaded when you run the demo?

Looks like this for me....

Processor Init:
Intel Pentium 4, ~2.55 Ghz
(timed at roughly 2.57 Ghz)
FPU detected
MMX detected
SSE detected

Math Init:
Installing Standard C extensions
Installing Assembly extensions
Installing FPU extensions
Installing MMX extensions
Installing SSE extensions

I am pink as well :)

I get the following with my Radion 9600 pro:

Processor Init:
AMD Athlon, ~1.20 Ghz
(timed at roughly 1.21 Ghz)
FPU detected
MMX detected
3DNow detected

Math Init:
Installing Standard C extensions
Installing Assembly extensions
Installing FPU extensions

Installing 3DNow extensions

Input Init:
DirectInput not enabled.

Done

Further down I get a few scattered errors, e.g.:
"common/client/missionDownload.cs (67): Unable to find function StartClientReplication'

If you have the Debug runtime for DX9 installed and set the debug level high it should give some clues as to what is going wrong. You'll need something to capture the output though. I recommend DebugView from www.sysinternals.com, it's completely free.

If you run TSE from the IDE with the debugger then the IDE will catch the debug output.

It appears that part of the problem here is that the SSE extensions are not being loaded on clients that get the pink screen. This is looking like a hardware issue because the engine is running fine for most of us.

Both of these guys are running Radeons so we have two clues already. Although it's possible that AMD's do not yuse the SSE extensions. Can anyone shed some light on that?
