Texture Glitch

[The1CheesyNacho]

Hello again I got this weird glitch when booting sm64 with gliden I have no idea what is wrong can anyone help

[gonetz]

Most likely some shaders did not compile.
Open gliden64.log and search for messages like
ERROR, "shader_compile error:
If your gliden64.log has such errors, please attach it here.

there is no gliden log file

[gonetz]

Project64: gliden64.log located in Plugin/Gfx folder
mupen64plus: gliden64.log located in AppData\Roaming\Mupen64Plus folder.

If you use Project64, please use this build:
GLideN64.zip

It has higher log level, so at least GL capabilities of your hardware will be logged.

still the same garbage

[oddMLan]

Can you post the gliden64.log generated?

Try turning on the "Inaccurate texture coordinates" option. I think it fixes some issues with drivers on older GPUs.

it worked. thanks :)

[oddMLan]

Hm, should GLideN64 do something on its side if it detects the GPU is not capable of accurate texture coordinates? @fzurita @gonetz

[fzurita]

Yeah, maybe. This is the same issue as well: #2507

[gonetz]

I still have no idea why old GPU can't handle accurate texture coordinates. I see no shader errors in logs provided by ssdip and by Jj0YzL5nvJ in #2507. Inaccurate texture path uses the same OpenGL commands as the accurate one.

[fzurita]

Maybe they don't have a debug build? Only debug builds print shader compilation errors.

[Jj0YzL5nvJ]

I used debug builds and force depth compare extension errors to demonstrate that no log is generated by default.

The lack of errors reminds me of the techniques used in HTML to program pages compatible with IE, Netscape, Opera, etc.
Since IE could only understand lines of code no longer than a certain number of characters. You could run lines of code for the rest of the browsers that could read larger lines of code, while IE truncated the code and executed what it could understand so it never generated errors.

I don't understand what the code does, but this looks suspicious.

Interesting. Fix for GLES2 breaks compatibility with OpenGL 3.3 ?

[Jj0YzL5nvJ]

A fix for GLES2 on iOS(or IOS) breaks OpenGL 3.3 support on NVIDIA GPUs to be more specific.

Might be something as simple as not supporting certain features in newer openGL versions. I ran into similar issues when using an imac which has a modern gpu, but the driver is on a version of open gl 2 from 2006. A 9600 is supposed be support up to open gl 3.3 and I believe it was 3.2 which added a lot of new things. It could be that the recommended driver which gets selected for those cards doesn't support it though, since its right on the edge.

Edit: this wouldn't explain why the problem doesn't occur with the original commands :/
