Title: MediaVPs Crashing in 32 bit colours
Post by: naznomarn on March 28, 2011, 06:08:27 am: Haven't used FS2O in a while... so I installed it on my latest PC.
I've had FS1 since it came out 'cause I'm just cool like that ;D

Anywho.

The FS1 mod works in 32 bit with all the GFX bells and whistles on full, FS2 (no mod) works, but MediaVPs will not work in 32 bit but will in 16.

It loads correctly, but then crashes while loading the first briefing.

Here's the debug output:

The FS1 mod works in 32 bit... MediaVPs will not work in 32 bit
32-bit what? Operating system? Colours? OS shouldn't matter as long as it is either 32-bit or 64-bit and 32-bit colours should work better than 16-bit colours.

Launcher anti-aliasing does nothing. You can leave it off, or force it with your GPU drivers. Anisotropic filtering should work.

And you don't need to have any FS2 discs in your optical drives when playing FSO.

Yes, 32 bit colours.
Sorry for the confusion :P
I'm on a 64 bit O/S. And no, it shouldn't matter. Unless I was using a 16 bit o/s ;D

Either way... your response only raises more questions.
If it *should* work better in 32bit colours as opposed to 16, yet fails to work in 32.

I'll add a couple more details at the top such as "while loading the first mission briefing"

I wasn't paying enough attention to remember which mission I turned the rest off on; and I didn't spend time working out the problem.

Post by: Herra Tohtori on March 31, 2011, 10:04:35 am: This might be a dumb question, but... you've checked that your desktop is set to True Colour (32bit) instead of High Colour (16bit)?

This has been known to cause issues before. FS2_Open should be set to run at same colour depth as your desktop settings, so this should be checked first I think (confirm that they're both set to 32bit colour depth).

Still a good question to ask, but according to the log, it is.

I think we need a debug_filter.cfg file to give us more information at the point where it goes tango uniform.
Title: Re: MediaVPs Crashing in 32 bit colours
Post by: Herra Tohtori on March 31, 2011, 11:53:43 am: Right you are.

The next suggestion I have would be to try windowed mode with 32bit colours, and if that works, try the fullscreen window mode (which runs the game in a window, but without window graphics and sized to fill the screen). There are a few differences between true fullscreen graphics and full screen sized window that might influence the crash.

Zacam's suggestion about debug filter is also valid.

Another avenue of experimenting would be to disable the MV_Advanced.vp file (move it out of the MediaVP directory) and then try what happens. The HD4300/4500 should be able to handle them, but they are still low end cards, or at the best lower medium range (depending how you measure the performance).
