ATI driver crash when loading fonts #488

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
It seems some on some systems with ATI graphics cards, Bitfighter will crash 
when loading the texture fonts.  

This bug is to just document what has been found so far.

The workaround is to rename the 'fonts' directory so TTF fonts (which are 
loaded as OpenGL textures) are not loaded; but then the game is quite ugly 
since we've moved to TTF fonts for most things...

We have gotten one Windows crash report (in German):

This is highly likely to be a driver problem in older ATI drivers.  There is a 
possible reference to the problem here (see the edit to the opening question):

https://stackoverflow.com/q/5564233

Font-Stash is the code that loads the fonts for us and it does use a 
'glTexSubImage2D()' call; however, we have no access to a system that 
duplicates the error.
