Everything renders with the same textures

[wareya]

Happens 100% of the time when I boot the emulator with my own frontend and like 5-10% of the time when I boot the emulator with ui-console. Yeah, I have no idea.

When a texture is newly put onscreen, it replaces everything it can. Multitextured things act differently but it's just like a second texture slot doing its thing.

Doesn't happen with the pre-modern-GL Rice, or with other video plugins.

The bug happens way less often if I execute the emulator on the main thread instead of a secondary one, but for some reason it still happens once in a while, just like with ui-console.

[thesourcehim]

For me (I launch from ui-console) 50% of the time I get this bug and 50% I get no hi-res textures at all.

[s-victor]

I compiled latest source on fedora23, and getting either mostly black or random square colored texture on everything.

After trying some settings, I found a way to bypass this bug by editing "mupen64plus.cfg" file, remove everything under [Video-Rice] section and save it. Then set this file premissions to "read only". Run the emulator again and no more bugged texture.

It seems the bug has to do with how the cfg file is read/write (if the cfg file is writable, after first run, the emulator will still get bugged texture from the 2nd run and repeats).

Thanks, can you copy paste the Video-Rice section here?

Thanks, @Vector3k, could you also please post the log of the first and the second run?

Hi, I did several runs here the results, and more results and related cfg files in attached file: rice_testrun_160823.zip

1st run - using "mupen64plus.cfg_before_1st_run" - result: no bug, everything works wonderfully

Other runs - the only line in log that has changed is "Core: R4300: starting 64-bit dynamic recompiler at: ", and about 50% chance to get bug or no bug like the other guy said.

And I did another 25 runs with the readonly "mupen64plus.cfg_before_1st_run", results are all fine, no texture bug. the log is below:

Note for me:

The first time, there seems to be an update process:

Video Warning: No version number in 'Rice-Video' config section. Setting defaults.
Video Warning: Old parameter config version detected : 0, updating to 1;

[Narann]

Ok guys, big new, looks like https://github.com/mupen64plus/mupen64plus-video-rice/commit/e82afa7cf70616c9c96ff3ffc8aaf55e3007b3df should fix every texture troubles. I will let you confirm and will close this. It was a silly problem, so sorry for not having time to fix it before. Hope everything is ok now.

[Narann]

@wareya @thesourcehim @Vector3k, I suspect this problem to be solved with my latest fixes. Could you confirm? :D

[s-victor]

@Narann, Hi, sorry for the late reply, just complied and tested multiple times, and it works flawless now. Great work! Many thanks!

[Narann]

No, sorry having letting this so long! :D

[wareya]

I mean it was pretty hard to diagnose. It's all good.
