video settings not persistent
« on: December 29, 2018, 02:11:47 am »
I am using ufoai 2.5 from the Debian stable repository.

Ufoai does forget some of the advanced video settings e.g. texture, opengl and lights. I couldn't find an existing bug report about that.

When starting Ufoai the advanced video settings are:
Texture resolution "normal", "bilinear / no antialising"
OpenGL-shaders: deactivated
Lights: middle

Then I modify the settings to:
Texture resolution: extrem
OpenGl: high quality
Light: high

This has positive effect on the current running instance. But when restart Ufoai this settings are gone.

We prefer using our bug tracker for investigating issues like this.

I just checked, these values are saved for me properly. Could you please upload your config.cfg and ufoconsole.log?

My guess is that these options were auto-disabled/reduced on startup due to the known problems with Intel GMAs: some of them are happy to report capabilities they don't have, or support them poorly/incorrectly. If this is the case setting r_intel_hack console variable to 0 could help.

The intel hack was the point. Thank you.

When you have an bug tracker why you have a bug-group in the forum?
