Test Win64 executable - 16bpcc

[another_commander]

This is a test for Windows 64-bit users who have experienced color banding issues, especially close to planets and particularly evident with the latest trunk shaders.

The objective of the test is to determine whether the game's start-up and execution is affected by applying the easiest fix in the book: increase the color depth from 8 bits per color component (bpcc) to 16, thus allowing 65536 shades of each color rather than just 256. This would improve the color banding situation a lot, but it requires a gfx card that supports pixel formats of such type. The executable linked below requests OpenGL to provide a 16bpcc pixel format, but we need to be sure that the game will start up correctly even if no such formats are there. We also need to check this on a variety of card types to be sure we don't hit any peculiarities with any manufacturers.

So, to use it, you need the latest x64 nightly for Windows installed (it can sit right next to official 1.88 without interfering with it) and you need to just unzip the file linked,and drop the exe inside the trunk's oolite.app folder. As a last step, open logcontrol.plist, set the display.initGL log class to "yes" instead of "no" and save. Then run the game anf exit it as soon as it starts. We will need the Latest.log from that run posted here. If there are any issues on start-up, please report them as well.

The link to the test executable:

Once we are happy that this works without issues we will have to test the required code changes also on Linux. But that is something for later.

Thanks for helping out with testing.

The image below has been processed to slightly exaggerate the situation for viewing purposes, but you can see the difference between what it looks like with the current nightly (left), compared to the 16bpcc color (right, when the card supports it). Note that most recent cards should have no problem, but we need to be sure, hence the need to test.


For completeness, here is the log of the system this was tested on:

[rest of log snipped, we don't really care about it unless there have been crashes or problems]

[Cody]

This is a test for Windows 64-bit users who have experienced color banding issues...

Thank you! This has been driving me crackers!

[Cody]

A very quick test shows an improvement (nVidia GTX 770): before and after...



I'll take a good look tonight.

[another_commander]

Thanks Cody. Can I have the log please? Need to be sure what color and Z-buffer depth is being reported.

[Cody]

I was about to post it, wondering if my old GTX770 was up to it. Here:

[another_commander]

Sorry for giving you more work, but you need to enable the display.initGL class in logcontrol.plist (it was mentioned in the first post). Whenever you can, no rush and many thanks.

Edit: Put the log in quote tags rather than code tags; this corrects the formatting.

[Cody]

Awesome! Your GTX770 is totally up to it.

[Cody]

Your GTX770 is totally up to it.

An early observation: that GTX 770 is now getting maxed-out (97% usage) when facing a planet. I had updated the nVidia drivers to the latest release, so I may have to roll-back to check it ain't them.


Hmm... must be time for dinner!

Or you can run the standard trunk with the drivers you have now and see if the card doesn't max out. Maybe a simpler way to check.

That's why you're an Admiral, and I'm a dumb pilot. A quick pre-dinner check with standard trunk gives the usual 50-60% GPU usage.

[Commander_X]

Looks good here too.
One thing I noticed, it's switching Aero off in Win 7 / 64bit (extremely annoying)
Didn't encounter the issue Cody reported

@Commander_X: Thanks, much appreciated.

@Cody: I did a test run with latest trunk and test executable while monitoring GPU performance on the system with the NVidia Quadro and the results were well within what I would consider expected. Normal trunk with 8bpcc was utilizing 17% of the GPU (while facing a planet covering the entire screen at 1920x1080 and 77 deg FOV), while the 16bpcc test exe was utilizing it to 22%. Not sure why utilization is almost doubled in your case, but I'll try to see if I can do more tests on less than high-end GPUs if I get the chance.

In the meantime, in case Linux users would be interested to test-run it too, I have created the 16bpcc branch on github. You can build the game from that branch and let us know how it works for you if you want.

[Cody]

Not sure why utilization is almost doubled in your case...

Neither am I, and it's rather irksome! I'd rather not revert to Povray Planets, but if that's the way the cookie crumbles...

... but I'll try to see if I can do more tests on less than high-end GPUs if I get the chance.

And I'll consider installing the GTX 1070Ti which is lurking in the new-build components bin.
