I wonder if it would actually work by copying the atioglx.dll in question into FreeSpace2 directory. I doubt it though, but it's worth a try.

[Reprobator]

not necessary for me just download the following dll and try this one (backup your old dll and copy this one in the windows\system32 folder

http://www.megaupload.com/fr/?d=805FDBQX

i hope it ll work for you.

[Reprobator]

did it work?

[Sardaukar]

Hi

for me it worked, but now the cutscenes are shown in very little size on the side of the monitor


I think also this is a temporary solution because the atioglx.dll you shared is a very old version of Ati OpenGL driver


p.s.

It worked also putting the atioglx.dll into the main FreeSpace 2 folder

[Reprobator]

Yep i got that problem too but it depend on the builds, some do not have this problem with this dll .

I know that s temporary i d prefer to be able to use the latest one but at least it works for now (we just still got the shivan beam bug remain though.)

[Sardaukar]

Now I try some mission to see if there are problems with graphics



however, thanks for the file

Now THAT is very good news, because that means people wouldn't be required to replace the Windows\system32\atioglx.dll file, which means that the newer file would be used with every other game.

I just hope the fix works on wider scale of implementation.

[Reprobator]

That s a good news however it can't be considered as a fix :

New player that'll want to play with the 3.6.10 build + mediavp will have to be informed for this or they'll be lost .

Reprobator: See my post in the Radeon thread and if you could generate a log file to show off, that would be handy.

@Reprobator: Glad you managed to solve the issue.  But that .dll is probably a WinXP driver, because when I cpy it (in my Win32 or freespace root folder) I get a total crash, the minute I start the game. (Freespace has stopped working, Windows is looking for a solution). 

I'm running Vista HP. So, if you don't mind, tell me which driver you're posting (Catalyst version) so I can find the right Vista .dll

Thanks, and, again, nice going! Sardaukar, glad for you as well, mate! 

[Zacam]

Catalyst 7.1.

Thanks! dl'ing and trying them out!

nope. Still not right. FS works with glsl enabled in the launcher, but I get no normals. Like so:

Check that you have the normals enabled in the launcher, and that you have de-selected -no_glsl (These suggestions are in the Just Making Sure category, I presume you have already done these changes...).

Then, post a debug log, it tells us much more than a screenshot of incredibly low resolution.

I have.

lol.  Sorry. Here you go. I entered the techroom, saw a few ships spinning (including Hatshepsut and Medusa), saw no normal maps; then for the heck of it I started the first training mission with a new pilot.

EDIT: I probably should mention, that any ship larger than a fighter stutters like mad. The Fenris rotation has a max of ~20 frames and it 'snaps' from one to the other.

Code: [Select]

  -img2ddsTurn that off. It only ruins things.

Yes, but disabling it doesn't seem to fix anything.

The game still stutters. And I don't see any normal maps on any ship (I'm using the AmAdv as a yardstick, because it's white and flat). But GLSL is enabled in the launcher, even though it seems not to be doing anything.

Ships that really stutter: Fenris&Levy +any destroyer size and above. The Aten is a nightmare. Weirdly, the Vasudan gas miner (anukhet??) spins with no lag at all; just like a fighter.

And here is today's debug log:

Vista+ati x1xxx = totally unlucky for now 
i got a laptop with a ati x1600 and vista , no way to make glsl work for me.


I gave up for the laptop as it s gone back to support (power failure)

[kkmic]

And, to sum up,  is there an option for the ATi X1xxx owners? (I have a X1650 and the same problem, in both windows and linux).

Beside the -no_glsl flag i mean...

[Wanderer]

Well.. not much we can do actually apart from some one writing whole new code & shaders for the X1xxx series cards... ATI made rather bad choice (at least in hindsight) by not supporting vertex texture fetch on the X1xxx series cards.
