Black Models on ATI Radeon Cards - Rev 30167

[Edi]

The black models issue on ATI cards is still not squashed, despite being reported as fixed.

I compiled revision 30167 today and I'm still getting black soldiers, aliens, crashed ufo fighters, civilians etc.

Windows XP Pro SP3 with ATI Radeon HD4870 and latest drivers.

One thing did occur to me: Does the fix require a clean compile of all maps to work correctly? I figured that might be the case, if it is related to the lighting issues, as it seems to be from some of the code commentary.

Compiled 30169 and seeing this still myself.  
Black models only when realtime lighting is enabled.  
Shaders enabled without realtime lighting is fine - however this then leads to a transparent Earth when you get back to the Geoscape.

edit: Using Windows 7 32-bit on AMD PhenomII X3 720 with an ATI 4850 gfx card using Catalyst 10.3 drivers (OK, should probably update them...)

[Mattn]

please retry with latest rev.

[Aesten]

Haven't been able to retry with latest build, largely do to not being able to load into any maps. Most the time it just *blinks* back to the geoscape without anything happening. Or it loads the map then essentially freezes, causing me to have to alt-F4, or use task manager to end task..... but a caveat to that is.... I haven't ever been able to successfully enter a tactical map on my desktop... not quite sure why(usually freezes, today first time did the blink thing). But my laptop can enter tactical. However, I think last build I was using on my laptop was something like 30105 or something like that. But on my laptop, before the attempted patch of rev 30155(I do use ATI on both desktop(4670) and laptop(5870),) depending on zoom level, soldier/alien/ufo textures were either black(zoomed out) or a kind of shimmery, almost TRON like blue(when zoomed in).

Anyway, tomorrow I ought to be able to test a build or two to give more constructive feedback.

[Kemlo]

Just tried with 30175 - no luck, still the same problem.
edit: Also updated graphics card drivers, still no luck.

As of r30175, I don't have black models here.
Mine are glowing. See screeny.
Been like that for some 100 revs.

[Mattn]

duke what is your hardware (graphiccard)?

That's what they looked like on mine, but I think they were blue, though I may be mistaken.
The only hardware i've successfully gotten into a tactical map was on a mobility 5870

hehe, your soldiers are burning!

Finally figured out how to get into a tactical map without it freezing. Anyway, my models are a bit wonky, but all I have to do is disable post-processing to fix. I am able to leave the GLSL box ticked.

Confirmed on Windows XP Pro SP3 Radeon HD4870 (Catalyst Control Center 10.4), UFOAI revision 30181.

With GLSL shaders (and postprocessing) enabled AND realtime lighting enabled, black models on battlescape.

When GLSL shaders OR realtime lighting is turned off, models become normally visible

When realtime lighting is turned off, geoscape is transparent

Thus, it is possible to use realtime lighting as the workaround, because turning it off and on does not require a restart but GLSL shaders do or geoscape gets screwed up.

[Mattn]

try r30174 and above

[Edi]

try r30174 and above

I've currently got revision 30181 installed and it's behaving as described in my previous post. Having both shaders and realtime lighting on results in black models.

[Mattn]

please add this info to the bug tracker item.

ATI Radeon HD 4650.
Realtime lighting, GLSL shaders and post-processing are the only boxes ticked in the video options.
