[Solved] ATI M 4870 - Crash at mission load, "shader failed to link"
on: January 23, 2011, 05:23:08 am
Just reinstalled FSO after a while via Turey's installer, new laptop and all, but I've run into a hard crash every time I load a campaign mission out of the Entry Hall. The first light of the loading bar lights up, then total freeze; after a few seconds the screen flashes and whites out and a totally nondescript message informs me that FSO has stopped responding.

Occasionally I catch another error saying my ATI Video driver has stopped responding as well; this might be important, but it's my first ATI machine and ...I don't know how to deal with it, sadly. Recently updated drivers, and I've had no issues in other games.

Most confusing is that I played the first mission of BP: War in Heaven with no issue, loaded the second, quit to check something---and upon restart of FSO, this problem hit.

Thanks!

Log, hopefully gen'd right, using just vanilla MediaVPs:

Out of curiosity, what if you try running in fullscreen window (Launcher -> Features -> Dev Tool list type -> Run in fullscreen window)? I have some weird **** going on with my HD5770 and FSO, but some problems disappear when running in fullscreen window. I've heard suggestions that my GPU might be faulty and that I should remember to visit the shop some day about it.

The crash first hit in Fullscreen; I ran it windowed to follow the log generation guide to the letter.

Now what's really confusing is I just got through another two missions of BP before it suddenly crashed (again, no description why), this time during the mission itself. I think my system's having trouble with models... it went down as new fighters were jumping in. Thing is, I'm still confused why I sometimes can load up for briefing, and sometimes can't get off the intro screen.

Also, on said intro screen, anytime I attempt to call up models, it likely crashes [save the few attempts it went through, as I mentioned]. Model Viewer, Briefing, and Tech Room---Tech Room's weird because the automated speech loads up and goes through a whole thing even though the screen never loads or even crashes to white.  So I'm pretty sure models and my GPU are the issue.

Redownloading MediaVPs and BP didn't seem fix it, also; tried three times in various combinations.

I'm sorry to double post, but I still can't find a solution.

It seems to be the same issue as in this post, but I've tried putting various atioglxx.dll files in my FS2 folder and there's been no change. Also, I have tried drivers older than ATI 10.9; these drivers won't even load the main menu.

I'm running crossfired Mobility 4870 cards---updated subject to reflect it.

Anyone have any ideas?

Re: ATI M 4870 - Crash at mission load, "shader failed to link"

You have two problems here.

1st: Shaders failing to link. This does NOT cause FSO to crash, it only means visual quality and performance is less than with shaders. You already found the solution to this problem in the topic you linked above. Please use the appropriate atioglxx.dll to fix the shader linking. After you have done this, your debug log should no longer have errors like this: "Vertex shader(s) failed to link, fragment shader(s) failed to link".

2nd: Crashing. To determine what exactly is crashing, since it seems to be random(ish), you need to run debug build until you encounter a crash. Unfortunately I doubt you can do this while playing Blue Planet, because it is due to framerate issues mostly unplayable with a debug build. You can however play Freespace 2 campaign with mediavps, framerate should be sufficiently high even with a debug build. Once you have encountered a crash while running a debug builld, please post the debug log here.

Edit: After re-reading your original post. You were alt-tabbing between applications weren't you? If you want to alt-tab, I suggest to use windowed mode in FSO. Alt-tabbing may not always work reliably when one of the applications is full-screen DX or OGL application. This isn't really FSO specific issue, these just happen sometimes.

...I'd like to apologize for an oversight of my own. While running through my list of things to check, I forgot about Crossfire. Turning it off entirely solved the issue; with the atioglxx.dll in the folder, FS2 runs with absolutely no issue. Apparently, it simply doesn't play nice with FS2... or at least, on my system it doesn't.

Thanks for the help though!
