Hard GPU Crash in Dungeons & Dragons Online #17

Open Xaymar opened 1 year ago

Xaymar commented 1 year ago

I'm trying to use this to brighten up the world in DDO a bit, as these older games tend to have a weird artistic tendency of "dark = realistic", so you can't see anything 90% of the time. Unfortunately adding this addon causes the rendering of the world to fail entirely, and after a few seconds the GPU Driver resets entirely.

Is there anything I can do to debug the issue and track down the cause?

Using the original plugin, which does not encounter this crash, I was able to find the correct shader hash. Unfortunately the plugin still causes a TDR reset, and the game freezes roughly 10 seconds after starting. After a while, the game crashes due to corrupted heap memory - suggesting something went wrong with the addon.

Update: After dragging out every GPU debugging and verification tool I could find, the only thing I found out is that it's not an API usage issue. So I'm back to square one on searching for why this crashes in this particular way.

Sorry for the spam, but after debugging for an hour and going back in terms of versions, I found that https://github.com/4lex4nder/ReshadeEffectShaderToggler/releases/tag/v1.1.0-testing mostly works. I still don't quite understand how the groups work, but I'm no longer crashing my graphics driver.
