New ATI videocard cant use vtf

Scripting Issues
1

Hi all!

I’ve recently bought an all-new computer. Everything works like a charm and the newer games can be run on highest settings.

However when i now run a shader program i was working on on my laptop it is giving the error ‘Cg program too complex for driver’. The problem lies in calling the tex2D(texture, coord) function in the vertex shader (even before i change any actual vertex coordinates).

I’ve been searching the forum for a while now and tried all the mentioned solutions (setting ‘basic-shaders-only #f’, trying other sharder languages, etc).

My new videocard is a Club3D Radeon HD 7870 XT (i expect the problem lies in using an ATI card?) on windows 8. I installed the latest (beta) driver, and, again, the newer games run without a problem.

Has anyone encountered this problem and/or knows a fix/workaround?
Much appreciated!
Stein

Could you post the whole shader? Maybe the problem lies elsewhere…

sure (but im afraid it will be more confusing than helpfull), the fragment shader worked perfectly so here is only the vertex shader. All the commented out sections used to be active. It is currently running but the error occurs when any call to tex2D is uncommented.

Is your previous videocard NVIDIA? I think it’s known bug with Cg and non-nvidia card. Cg drop profile to arbfp1 arbvp1

Some GPUs don’t like texture lookups in the vertex shader… Either it’s horribly slow or doesn’t work at all.

It doesn’t really make sense in your case either. I see the texture you are accessing seems to be a per-pixel heightmap? But what this would do is sample the heights at the vertices and interpolate them, ignoring tons of data. Are you sure you don’t want to move that part of the calculation to the fragment shader?

Relative topic push texture to vshader sha file

Thanks for all the replies!

To Dolkar:
I do it this way to change the geometry of the mesh. I cant change actual coordinates in the fragment shader right? (even if i could that would cause very blocky displacement [would jump everytime the heightmap got to a new pixel], while the vertex shader interpolates to smooth it out). The heightmap is scaled appropriately so im not wasting any data.

To ninth:
Yes, my previous card was Nvidea. I have already tried the things mentioned in your topic. Though the strange thing is that whenever i add the line ‘//Cg profile vp40 fp40’ on top of the shader it gives the error ‘Shader is not in a supported shader-language’. The same thing goes for any other line except the standard ‘//Cg’.
A solution presented in the post was to rewrite it to GLSL. I could do that, but im also reading

Was this about the line

shader = Shader.load(Shader.SLGLSL, 'vert.glsl', 'frag.glsl')

or about the entire support for GLSL?

8

It’s about the entire support for GLSL.

As for Cg profile. Header should be of the two lines

But as I told, for the non-nvidia cards Cg drops the profile

9

“//Cg profile” should be the second line, with “//Cg” still being the first line.

GLSL isn’t broken per say in 1.8.0, but a set of inputs (I believe gl_Vertex and gl_Normal) isn’t working in 1.8.0. Upgrade to 1.8.1 to be sure.

A fix for advanced Cg shaders on non-NVIDIA cards is on its way, it will come in 1.8.2.

Non-NVIDIA cards do not support profiles other than “arbfp1”, “arbvp1”, “glslv” and “glslf”, I believe. You can see which profiles are supported by setting “notify-level-glgsg” to “debug” in 1.8.1.

10

Possible in 1.8.1 we have another bug Possible bug in shader generator for 1.8.1

11

Adding the lines

//Cg
//Cg profile vp40 fp40

Doesnt make a difference for any profile (i can also use random names like ‘//Cg abcd efgh’ without getting an error, i think that is was ninth menth with “the non-nvidia cards Cg drops the profile”?)

So if i understand correctly i should either:

  • rewrite the code in GLSL and install v1.8.1, or:
  • have some patience and wait for 1.8.2 to come out which should make my Cg shader work again?
12

The code silently ignores unknown or unsupported profiles. Can you give me the list of supported Cg profiles when you put this in Config.prc:

notify-level-glgsg debug

(only works in 1.8.1)

13

Heres the entire feedback i get when running the program. I cant find the exact list you mentioned but perhaps you can?

Are you sure you’re running 1.8.1? You’re only able to get the list of profiles in 1.8.1 that way.

Also, make sure that you have “basic-shaders-only #f” in Config.prc.

15

i just installed 1.8.1 and uninstallen 1.8.0 so i am running in on the correct version. “basic-shaders-only #f” is also set correctly.

Im just running it normally, so not in any kind of debug mode, thats correct?

I am getting the line ‘GL_VERSION = 4.2.12171 Compatibility Profile Context 12.100.17.0, decoded to 4.2’. But thats not what we are looking for?

16

It’s should be something like this

17

Nope, not getting it. Tried moving the line ‘notify-level-glgsg debug’ around in the config.prc file, tried deactivating all shaders, tried running other files (for instance the pacing panda example) etc. The only thing slightly related i can find from the text is the part saying what profiles are currently used.

Cg vertex profile = arbvp1  id = 6150
Cg pixel profile = arbfp1  id = 7000

These profiles do indeed not change when i add these lines to the top of the shader

//Cg
//Cg profile glslv glslg
18

It’s strange, but I pretty sure that it’s the problem with “Cg and non-nvidia”, so you should wait for fix or rewrite shader in glsl.

19

Well, these lines:

indicate that the Cg runtime deems arbvp1 and arbfp1 to be the ‘best’ profiles for your system, which means that the Cg runtime is lying. 1.8.2 will contain some code that may help to fix this by overriding the Cg runtime’s judgement about what the best profile is.

The profile line should be “glslv glslf”. glslg would be for geometry shaders.

20

Actually, I think I’m going to back this “fix” out of 1.8.2. The glslv/glslf profiles are horribly broken on AMD cards. Until we can figure out a workaround, it’s better to have a shader with limited functionality than one that is completely broken.

In light of this, I declare Cg to be a bad choice for any but the simplest of shader effects.
