Compatibility Test

[Josh]

I want to start some more widespread compatibility testing. The only issue I have seen is that some GPUs have strange configurations I have not encountered yet. These issues are usually easy to fix once I see what is happening.

Please give this a try:

test.zip

 

System requirements are Windows 10 and a discrete GPU that supports Vulkan 1.3.

This is a simple graphics initialization test. If it starts correctly it will look like this:

You can also try the Ultra Engine versions of the benchmark tests I uploaded here:

Not home right now, but doesn't launch on my laptop. Not sure it is supposed to (not discrete, but thought it was worth a shot anyway). Probably not what you are looking for lol. I'll see about getting home to my PC someday

What GPU do you have?

My PC has an RX 580 (I believe lol, I don't use it much). My laptop just has Intel UHD G1. I am going to try and get some of my buddies to run the benchmark as well, they have some diverse setups.

[Josh]

Okay, please let me know your results.

The engine won't run on integrated graphics yet.

Virus Here.

I think that is just because it is unsigned. Happened to me too.

[Josh]

It's probably a false positive that detects the UPX wrapper.

Needed to install OpenAL, but it launched on an RX 580. However, it was only a white screen. No errors and nothing else but a white screen. It then closed itself.

[Josh]

The renderer isn't initializing. You might need to update the drivers. 

As for the OpenAL issue, I am looking into this...

[Thirsty Panther]

The Test works fine on my Intel i7 with GeForce GTX 1060.

[Yue]

 

Disabling antivirus, Intel I7 2 24 gigs ram.  Generation, GPU GTX 1070 8 gigs of vram. 

[Alienhead]

Tested it on both my system, interesting enough my older test system featuring an aging geforce 780gtx card handled the test just fine.

And of course my development rig featuring a radeon RX 6600 had no problems.

@IceBurger I updated the above download as well as the binaries in the benchmarks repo.

• OpenAL32.dll is no longer needed
• If renderer initialization fails an error message will be displayed, maybe with some extra information

It definitely does something (PC slows down) but still just a white screen with no errors.

Works fine on a GTX 1080 Ti tho.

Works on my Ninja GTX 1060 if that matters

doesnt start on rx580 

[Josh]

Okay, so two people with a 580 are reporting a problem, and it is probably a crash since no error is being displayed. We can do a remote debugging session and I will able to see very quickly what is causing it:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/debugger/remote-debugging-cpp?view=vs-2022

I did this with one other person and it was easy to fix the problem once I saw it on their machine. Vulkan has extremely complicated setup code and it's easy for a strange configuration I haven't encountered to trigger a simple code error.

@IceBurger common do it, you are know english very well you can do it. everything is in English until I figure it out, two days will pass.  

@Josh if you know remote control programm you can easy climb in my system itself

It's voluntary, only if you want to do that. 😄 I've actually only used remote debugging once, but they had to open the session and temporarily let me connect.

Through what program? remotedesktop.google.com/access ?

[Josh]

Visual Studio has it built-in, but the machine the program is running on has to have the remote debugging tools installed and running. It's a pretty useful feature.

[IceBurger]

Sorry, I forgot about this. Same blank crashing issue on AMD 6800 XT. I'm completely open to whatever remote access thingies would help fix it.
