Patch test

[TylerGlaiel]

Working on a patch, if you want to see if it worked OK right click Closure in your library, select Properties, select Betas, and opt into the public patch beta

The beta only works for windows right now, mac users will get the current build

Looking to test this on anyone who has an intel HD integrated graphics card


current changelog (I'm still working on stuff)
- misc bugfixes
- bugfix with CRT monitors that don't report dimensions

- 3 new options in settings.cfg:
- #texmaxsize- limits the size of render textures, originally had no limit, now is set to limit to 4096x4096, curious if this helps on integrated graphics cards
- #savefilename- the name of the save file, you can change this to create a new save file
- #weather- an option to disable all weather effects

there's some other things I've been working on but those can be a surprise later


What I want to know
does this help with any of the problems on integrated graphics? does fiddling with the new settings help it run on integrated graphics? does the patch install correctly?

[Winchester_z]

Waiting for it Ty.

Not to sure it installed correctly. I don't get any extra things than there were before under the options menu. Cool to see your working on a patch anyways.

[TylerGlaiel]

they aren't in the options menu they're in the settings.cfg in the game's data folder

[scag-lion]

It works!
I just had to turn of the weather effects.

Hello Tyler,

Unfortunately, playing around with these settings did nothing for me. The game still lags horribly after the title screen.

Anyway, glad you're working on fixing this !

[EDIT] Sorry, I just noticed you were looking for people with an Intel HD card, which is not my case.

[Winchester_z]

I have a Intel HD card and AMD raedon card , and the game runs ok

I tried the beta and I was able to get the game to play. However, there is an issue where pre-rendered textures remain visible and simply shift to the left. This causes me to see repeats of the character I'm playing as, as well as the environment that I'm not supposed to be able to see. I'm falling in pits because I can't see where is actually illuminated and where is simply glitching.

[edit] I attempted adjusting the #texsizemax to see if that helped with the rendering, and it did not. Wondering if removing this option entirely will fix it.

I have the same problem as Red Note above. I turned off weather. Here is a screenshot: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=115047420 Ghosting of everywhere I've been. I have an Intel HD graphics card. More info on request.

[Inunah]

Well now I can see things, but the 1fps framerate makes it completely unplayable and there's ghosting.

[Stevoisiak]

I have an intel HD card, so I can test it. Just give me a minute.

[Stevoisiak]

I just tried it. Nothing changed with the beta patch. I still fall off the level

i have the same problem, falling

[Stevoisiak]

I may have an idea to fix the infinite falling bug on integrated graphics cards.

I've played through most of chapters 2 and 3, and can confirm that the bug does not occur on those levels. Maybe just add a miniature light source under the platform where you start in chapter 1 so that you dont fall off if there is no light there?

[TylerGlaiel]

I could but if that bug is happening its a sign of worse problems than just that, and since I can't reproduce it I have no idea what the other problems it causes are (more unfair jumps, losing boxes easier, etc) and I'd rather people not play a game that "feels off" for technical reasons

if you set the #fps and #speed in settings.cfg to like, 10, does it still occur?

[TylerGlaiel]

the issue is that its rendering the spotlights slightly too dark. The shaders for the game are compiled from source, and I do include those in the resources for the game. I don't have any guarantees for how this effects the game, but the blur on spotlights is in Resources/shaders/hblur.cg and Resources/shaders/vblur.cg. You can open them in a text editor. Each of these has a line that looks like


sum *= 1.0/46.0;


try changing it to like


sum *= 1.1/46.0;


to make the spotlights around 10% brighter (i think) which might help (make backups of the files first)
