Better detection of not supported gl version?

eldee · April 19, 2019, 11:38am

The driver of the graphic card of my Window machine supports OpenGL up to 4.2. If I require a higher version of OpenGL, using “gl-version 4 5” for example, the GSG throws a lot of errors then it is disabled. But nowhere in the log there is information saying that the open gl version is not supported, could it be detected and the program aborted gracefully with an error message ?

I would also find in very useful to detect the supported open gl version. Mac for example hates on glsl 130 and needs at least 150, and some (older?) linux drivers work fine with 130 and refuse to run on 150. It would be very useful to detect the supported version and change the shaders to fit (glsl 130 and 150 shaders are almost identical, save for the number on top).

This looks like a driver bug, but could you supply output with these settings enabled?

The problem clearly occurs if I require OpenGL 4.1 or greater using following config line :

gl-version 4 1

Requesting OpenGL 3.2 works fine. And, according to the log below, it seems that me or Panda is using deprecated function that has been removed from OpenGL Core 4 and above.

Now the question is : do I need to require a specific version of open gl ? I started to do it as on MacOS it’s mandatory to get a decent version of OpenGL, but is it needed on Linux or Windows or could I just expect the latest version of OpenGL and check at runtimes which features are available ?

The debug log is (With gl extensions removed as I can’t make post bigger than 32K characters) :

Yeah, it’s a driver bug, because it’s reporting support for GL_ARB_compatibility in a core profile. Panda would not be using that deprecated function if the driver didn’t say that Panda was allowed to use it.

gl-version 3 2 should be sufficient to get a forward-compatible context. It is needed on some drivers (macOS, but also Mesa on Linux) to be able to get a 3.2+ context at all. It is not sufficient in those cases to rely on runtime detection.

I ended up doing this in my game:

github.com

rdb/hexima/blob/8e2b7b9261dcd18d4afd3e79ff96aa126d6fd0f3/game/app.py#L50-L65


ShowBase.__init__(self, windowType='none')


# Try opening "gl-version 3 2" window
props = core.WindowProperties.get_default()
have_window = False
try:
    self.open_default_window(props=props)
    have_window = True
except Exception:
    pass


if not have_window:
    print("Failed to open window with OpenGL 3.2; falling back to older OpenGL.")
    core.load_prc_file_data("", "gl-version")
    self.open_default_window(props=props)
    print("The window seemed to have opened this time around.")

Perhaps we can add a gl-prefer-core-profile variable or something of the sort that does the right thing and automatically falls back to a compatibility profile if the context has issues.

That would be nice, in the mean time I’ll be using your workaround, it is not too disruptive after all.

eldee · May 2, 2019, 2:04pm

I had time to test on that windows host, and sadly the workaround does not work. The method open_default_window() does not report an error nor throws an exception, yet the GSG is deactivated so I end up with a black window as the workaround is not triggered.

Is it possible to detect is the GSG is deactivated ? at least I could check from another task and close the application and print a message in the log.

rdb · May 2, 2019, 2:44pm

Please file a GitHub issue for having better detection of an invalid OpenGL context. Panda should be able to catch this by checking if some basic OpenGL calls fail.

Just checking gsg.active should tell you whether it’s active or not. You can also catch the panic-deactivate-gsg event.

eldee · May 2, 2019, 6:25pm

Done here : opengl: Better detection of an invalid OpenGL context · Issue #643 · panda3d/panda3d · GitHub

I overlooked that property, but the event is much better as I don’t have to poll the active flag

rdb · May 3, 2019, 11:34am

I found out there’s a better way to check whether OpenGL context is core or compat. Will check this in shortly.
