This is because you're running without KMS. You probably want to use Linux 2.6.33, it should work then.

I started and created a practice game. Everything was rendered perfect but ffs it froze up on me 4 seconds in.


*@*-desktop:~/HoN$ glxinfo | grep -i opengl

I'm running a radeon 4850 and as you can see ^^ mesa 7.9-devel. All from xorg-edgers under ubuntu lucid lynx. If I can get practice mode to work again I'll take some SS's. It's so frustratingly close too.

No longer working

As i've updated to 0.3 series, Heroes of Newerth no longer works. It hangs on menu after login. Anyone more experienced could file a bugs to proper projects (mesa and stuff)?

[rob2687]

Since like last week it crashes for me when the menu is about to load with a VP Compiler error. This with an r500 card which doesn't work in game but at least the menus used to work.

It works for me with xorg-edgers and drm-next kernel (2.6.33) in lucid with a r700 card.

But the buildings are very big? I remember others with the same issue. Anyone found a solution to the big buildings or do we have to wait for prober galium3d support?

Building wll be big at least until someone in mesa fixes it (it does not depend on gallium afaik).
Can you tell me xorg-edgers packages versions? Namely radeon driver, mesa, libdrm...

I use thiese versions:

libdrm2                    2.4.20+git20100404
libdrm-radeon1             2.4.20+git20100404
libgl1-mesa-dri            7.9~git20100403
libgl1-mesa-glx            7.9~git20100403
libglu1-mesa               7.9~git20100403
xserver-xorg               1.7.6+git20100402
xserver-xorg-video-radeon  6.12.192+git20100401

[Schmaker]

Okay, the xorg-edgers packages works with HoN.. The problem is there is no support for GLSL 1.20 i think - thats why HoN is displayed that bad. I hope someone has better informations and knows status of GLSL 1.20 support in mesa for R600

[stev47]

It's pretty easy to fix the scaling issues with buildings in hon.
There was once a patch which activated pbo-support and fixed the issue but only one part of that patch has made it into the mesa-tree.

I looked up the patch and edited it to apply correctly on current git:
