Patch at saturday! Did you already know youre aweseome? As soon i have time i will go to Teladi area where ships lagged the most. It seems to be fixed at the first look!


@9000: You should vote for egosoft to remove the minigame. It is the worst feature ever. There are mods to circumvent some of the features depending on smalltalk.

How do you determine the GLSL Version?

I have mesa with OpenGL 3.3 (and thereforce also GLSL 3.30 if I am not mistaken), so I should have GLSL 3.30 support. Is this a bug in reporting the wrong version of GLSL in mesa?

Was going to report the light and dark issue but seems to have been mentioned all ready.

Will add though that since that small patch I have to exit steam then start off the command line via

Code: Select all

steam steam://run/2870

If I exit the game then try to re-run X Rebirth this is output to the console and fails to re-start

Code: Select all

XLib::XMLInputOpenCallback(): Failed to open the file: t/0002

When started like said in the console I keep seeing this

Code: Select all

ShaderD3D::SetTechniqueByName() shader shadergl\high_spec\xu_ssao techinque SSAOPOST

cause of the light/dark issue ?

290x 14.12 driver btw

Well the lighting issue seems fixed however, I still have the start up issue as described above. Don't show any other errors

I have mesa with OpenGL 3.3 (and thereforce also GLSL 3.30 if I am not mistaken), so I should have GLSL 3.30 support. Is this a bug in reporting the wrong version of GLSL in mesa?

You can use MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE to make mesa pretend to support an OpenGL 3.3 compatibility context instead of only an OpenGL 3.3 core context to make the game work.

Earlier on this thread:

I started steam with following command:

Code: Select all

MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.3COMPAT steam

P.S.: You don't need to start steam that way all the time. You can change the command that's used to launch X Rebirth in the game's Properties in steam under "SET LAUNCH OPTIONS…" to

Code: Select all

MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.3COMPAT %command%

to achieve the same effect.

@rmazurek

Unless you have a crash or I ask for the log don't worry about the messages.
In general I prefer the whole thing since starting the game.
But for crashes the last 100 lines are also ok.

@pete910

Can you paste the whole log somewhere?
Both of a successful and unsuccessful launch, and including a bit of the normal steam messages.

The "ShaderD3D::SetTechniqueByName()" is just because SSAO isn't implemented, if you disable "ssao" or "ambient occlusion" or whatever it's called in the graphics options it'll disappear.

@EoD

We use libglew so check glewinfo. I think I've seen with mesa that glewinfo would give different results than glxinfo.
The error you're seeing isn't something I throw or check it's an error given by the driver.
The whole situation is quite a bit weird, I'm not sure if SDL2 is setting up the context very well.

And yeah you can use the MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.3 trick. We're requesting the core profile so the "COMPAT" shouldn't be necessary.

[rmazurek]

I have crash from time to time so I will create new ticket in bug reporting, unless there is one already.

About ShaderD3D::SetTechniqueByName() message: I have all disabled except radar (low) and I have a lot of this message. Does it mean SSAO is turned on even if I set it off? Or could it be something else?

[mixi_]

And yeah you can use the MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.3 trick. We're requesting the core profile so the "COMPAT" shouldn't be necessary.

Apitrace tells me you only request a core profile in some parts of the initialization and don't in some others (glewinfo doesn't at all, since it apparently simply uses glXCreateContext, which if I'm reading the specification and mesa source code right only returns <3.1 or compatibility contexts).

But you are right, the COMPAT isn't necessary as mesa just happily gives you a core context even with glXCreateContext if MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE is used.

I dumped both glxinfo and glewinfo in case you want to have a look at it. Glewinfo says that I have OpenGL 3.3 support:

Code: Select all

GL_VERSION_3_3:                                                OK

[Mahi Ma]

Is this normal:

If i attack or board enemy capships (liturel) which attack a station i will *loose* reputation with AG and/or PMC (depends on zone).
If i destroy an attacking Xenon K i will not gain neither loose reputation.
AFAIK this is not normal (forum posts, videos ... )

Someone at steamforums reported this too but nobody really knew an answer?

Performance inproved significantly for me since b4, ships do not lagg anymore. Only the nebula in all teladi outpost zones lead to low fps and a certain crash.

[rmazurek]

I have not enough patience to wait untill game starts so if there is black screen I close it and run again. But for some reason today I have this black screan like a million times so I give it a try. Have been waiting about 10 minutes untill now and still nothing happened. I doubt it would work.

Hi, looks like the 3.52 update broke Rebirth for me. Console output is

[Ernie.]

I think that's because you're running it in 32bit. I believe X Rebirth requires a 64bit OS and Steam

[Vetrom]

Same deal as Ernie.

I have a coredump I can send your way if you need it.

[Vetrom]

A bunch of the steam runtime is 32bits regardless of your linux platform, but the X Rebirth binary is only 64bits. It wouldn't even start enough to error out if you were an a 32bit system.

[timon37]

@Unbekanntes Feindschiff
@Vetrom

Will fix soon.

@Unbekanntes Feindschiff
@Vetrom

Will fix soon.

TY. Did you just roll back the linux depot? It just started working for me again after I thought it might be an extenstion, but its working now that i uninstalled/reinstalled all my extensions.

[timon37]

@Vetrom no I didn't do anything, however it's related to extensions so doing that might resolve the issue.

[HerbertJ]

Any updates on this? I haven't played lately since the random crashes have become too much for me. Such as in these issue reports.

http://91.250.82.76:8282/jira/browse/XRNIX-26

http://91.250.82.76:8282/jira/browse/XRNIX-37


If there's anything I can do to help determine the cause please let me know.

[timon37]

@HerbertJ

I've got some leads, and I'm pursuing them, so I hope next build will improve it.

[rmazurek]

@HerbertJ

I also gave up. It's radiculous, to reload game so often. Much more time spent on loading then playing game

If some testing is needed or more details to be provided - I can do it. But untill this is fixed, I assume my money spent on this game lost.
