Tesseract Is Looking Okay For A Small, Open-Source Game

Well, I confirmed it by reading their source code, so I guess my authority trumps the admin's

Well, radeonsi on my laptop takes some time to come along. With http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~tstella...spill-fixes-v3 it works. Sort of.

* For some reason shadows only work on high. When setting them to ultra this happens:

radeon: Failed to allocate a buffer:
radeon:    size      : 536870912 bytes
radeon:    alignment : 32768 bytes
radeon:    domains   : 4

failed allocating shadow atlas!

* Morphological AA does only work up to high, segfaults on ultra.
* MSAA seems to hang the whole machine.

I got this message in the log, maybe with MSAA, not sure?

radeon_gem_object_create:62 alloc size 512Mb bigger than 256Mb limit

* SSAO creates some strange grainy artifacts that seem to move with the camera. Not sure if they are intentional. See screenshot 2.

All of that are radeon bugs and not a game bugs . Well, you have radeonsi so you can compare it with fglrx and you will see nothing of those bugs . No those grained shadows, no greenish lighting, no hang, no lock up, no segfaults, no error messages... it just works whatever you set .

And also why to care about those shadows on ultra, even when they fixed this it will worked slow .

An administrator in the forum claims otherwise:

Why did you asking there tesseract's developer? When nvidia, intel and fglrx working fine . I think, it is obvious where is the problem and it is not just that one .

It's actually trying to create a 16k x 16k x 16bit texture, 512mb in size. That's just plain crazy, even on a 3GB VRAM card, and they don't account for VRAM size at all.

An administrator in the forum claims otherwise:

Nothing anywhere in the game allocates a buffer of that size. The shadow atlas is actually only 4096*4096*2bytes/pixel (GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT16 texture of 4096x4096) in size. The bug is therefor in Mesa. Looks like they have some internal overflow issue. Please forward the issue to them.

(can't edit) and before jun 2013, it was 8GB

You should check out OctaForge which builds upon tesseract making it even more awesome. It's pretty much only the engine though, there isn't any cool demo showing all of its features.

Its development is quite inactive recently. There's only one developer really around it anyway, which is busy due to work.

Micheal, I'm sad to see you calling it only ?decent?. The assets are pretty nice.

when i maxed out on a4 apu with iGPU

failed allocating shadow atlas!

[dungeon]

Works fine with fglrx, every single settings just work . Yes it is slideshow with everything maxed out on AM1 (around 4 fps ) but it is good to see things works
