z-sort in beta version

[Jazz]

Using non-beta everything was fine until I updated to beta version to resolve a publishing issue. Now when z-sort is enabled my materials don't react to light.

 

Something changed again. Ideas?

 

Pics attached. First is from non-beta when it was working fine. Second and third are beta with and without z-sort and the last two without and with z-sort.

If z-sorting is enabled the object is rendered after the lighting pass.

 

There is a transparency shader that discards every other pixel. It's a good way to do transparency with lighting intact.

Don't want transparency. Basically, I need non-transparent cubes to not disappear and reappear when looking around. Still curious to know why it was fine in the non-beta version...

[Josh]

I don't believe any recent changes have been made that would affect this. Why would you want z-sorting to be enabled if they aren't transparent?

[Jazz]

It worked properly in the non-beta without z-sort, but now zsort keeps them from disappearing at least.

Was playing with Shadmar's day/night cycle. Switching between z-sort and not.

Z-sort needs to be disabled for the muzzleflash issue. So the issue is not z-sort, but without it.

I like pink but lol

 

edit: blocks are no longer disappearing. Went back to non-beta but the above issue still exists.

Your project does not contain the cube model so I wasn't able to test it.

 

If you had more than 256 instances of this model, it is possible a bug in the instanced rendering could have caused individual instances to disappear as you describe. This will be fixed in the next beta build.

Early on I tested 15000 cubes @ 45fps
