Graphic Bug: Colorful 3D-Rendering

[bernd1979]

Hi,

 

i have a very strange bug regarding the 3D-Output. Characters and animations are very colorful ;-)

PoE I did not have this bug. 

 

 

Information:

I had to modify the start.sh. Otherwise it will not start:

#!/bin/bash
# GOG.com (www.gog.com)

# Initialization
CURRENT_DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"
cd "${CURRENT_DIR}"
source support/gog_com.shlib

# Game info
GAME_NAME="$(get_gameinfo 1)"
VERSION="$(get_gameinfo 2)"
VERSION_DEV="$(get_gameinfo 3)"

# Actions
run_game() {
 echo "Running ${GAME_NAME}"
 export LC_ALL=C
 export LD_PRELOAD=$LD_PRELOAD:./PillarsOfEternityII_Data/Plugins/x86_64/libSDL2-2.0.so
 #export MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.5
 #export MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=450
 #export DRI_PRIME=1 
 #export SDL_DYNAMIC_API=/usr/lib64/libSDL2-2.0.so
 export SDL_DYNAMIC_API=/mnt/Software/Spiele/Pillars_of_Eternity_2/game/PillarsOfEternityII_Data/Plugins/x86_64/libSDL2.so
 cd game
 chmod +x "PillarsOfEternityII"
 ./"PillarsOfEternityII"

}

default() {
  run_game
}

# Options
define_option "-s" "--start" "start ${GAME_NAME}" "run_game" "$@"

# Defaults
standard_options "$@"

Additionally here some specs of my System:

Does anyone have any idea what the reason could be?

OK. If anyone is interested in: Here comes the solution.

 

My latest start.sh looks like:

#!/bin/bash
# GOG.com (www.gog.com)

# Initialization
CURRENT_DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"
cd "${CURRENT_DIR}"
source support/gog_com.shlib

# Game info
GAME_NAME="$(get_gameinfo 1)"
VERSION="$(get_gameinfo 2)"
VERSION_DEV="$(get_gameinfo 3)"

# Actions
run_game() {
 echo "Running ${GAME_NAME}"
 export LC_ALL=C
 export LD_PRELOAD=$LD_PRELOAD:./PillarsOfEternityII_Data/Plugins/x86_64/libSDL2-2.0.so
 cd game
 chmod +x "PillarsOfEternityII"
 ./"PillarsOfEternityII" -screen-quality Fastest -force-clamped
}

default() {
  run_game
}

# Options
define_option "-s" "--start" "start ${GAME_NAME}" "run_game" "$@"

# Defaults
standard_options "$@"

The option "-force-clamped" was the trick that helped me.

Perhaps it is useful for somebody out there, a hint for the developers or even a solution for other bugs.

 

From the unity-Doc:

-force-clamped Used together with -force-glcoreXY, this prevents checking for additional OpenGL extensions, allowing it to run between platforms with the same code paths.

Bye!!!

 My guess: Not a bug, more like ===> DX10.0 GPU trying to display DX11 stuff & failing to do so. My laptop's DX10.1 one (ATI Mobility  

Radeon HD "5145"), shows some things (effects / textures / whatever) as pink, even with "....\PillarsOfEternityII.exe" -force-d3d10

OK. This is might be possible. But on the Steam-Website and GOG-Website they state as minimum (for Linux) a GeForce 9600 GT which is also a DX10-Card.

The Spec for the unity-engine 2018.1 are also DX10. Could it be a another issue?

 

Sometimes i wish there would be more demos so you can test a game before you buy it.

BTW: With Version 1.02 this bug is also present. Are there any suggestions from the developers?

It would also help if it is sure that the game does not work with my graphic card.

 

Thanks!

Tried everything: Nvidia graphic options, Pillars startup options, in-game graphic options...nothing worked.

Seems similar to this Bug: https://forums.obsidian.net/topic/97654-ocean-graphics-bug/
