  • darkplaces gives errors with latest nvidia drivers 304.79

    hey all,

    just earlier i installed the latest nvidia 304.79 drivers, and now at startup darkplaces suddenly gives a bunch of errors.
    i dont notice any difference at all when playing, no messed up stuff or missing features or such as far as i can tell but still im curious what these errrors are, cuz i never got them before, only now with the latest nvidia drivers 304.79

    made darkplaces log everything to a file, file is attached. the errors are near the bottom of the file

    can somebody tell me what these errors mean? never got them before and im curious what they mean? especially cuz i do not notice any difference at all when playing darkplaces


    EDIT: btw forgot to add... im using darkplaces build 20110702

    are you curious about what all there is out there in terms of HD content for quake?

    everything that is out there for quake and both mission-packs, compiled into one massive thread

    short version: the driver is unable to process some material that the game is trying to use.
    DP will try to fall back to something else instead, you'll probably loose offsetmapping or something.
    Something will be drawn still, but not what you've configured the engine to try to draw.

    a quick google shows the function its reporting as specific to nvidia's cuda stuff, not opengl/glsl. I think it unlikely that DP would ever use a non-glsl function for glsl and if it did the previous version should error as would any intel or ati/amd drivers.
    so looks like a driver bug to me. a very dodgy looking one.

    its also possible that you have a custom 'glsl/default.glsl' file in some pk3, but I think it unlikely that such a file would refer to cuda symbols. never say never though, eh?

      no i dont. beside, i never got those errrors with older drivers.

      anyways, i downgraded to the previous driver version, which instantly solved it.
      already expected it would be a driver bug and not a darkplaces bug, so downgraded back to previous driver version

      thanx anyway for the help
