STK doesn't start on AMD G760

[PapaTux]

Hello,

is it me or does STK not work on a AMD G760 APU?

Yes, I installed the latest drivers, other games are running fine, but not STK,

Thank you!

Hi, could you post your stdout.log file? It can be found in %appdata%\supertuxkart\0.8.2 (you can enter that in the Explorer and it will take you there)

Yes, of course, here it is:

Looks like I need to install an OpenGL driver!?
Thanks!

You have this stupid "3.1.8787 BETA" driver that says that it has GL 3.1, but it doesn't have proper GLSL support.

It is in graphical_restrictions.xml:

<card contains="ATI" os="windows" version="<=3.1.8787" disable="ForceLegacyDevice"/>

Yes, update your drivers if it's possible. And if not, then you can probably remove " contains="ATI" " from this line. Or you can open %appdata%\supertuxkart\0.8.2\config.xml and change "force_legacy_device" to true.

Edit:
Actually it didn't detect version number at all:
[warn ] Graphics: Can not find version for '3.1.8787 BETA' 'AMD 760G' - ignored.

@deve:

I set "force_legacy_device" to true and guess what: It's running!

I got a message about not compatible OpenGL drivers, but who cares

Seriously, if I can install another driver to make this better (I searched but got lost), would be great, but with this line you made 2 kids happy (and so also me)

THANKS A LOT!!

[deve]

I'm glad that it helped

You can disable the warning too. It's "old_driver_popup" in config.xml.

[warn ] Graphics: Can not find version for '3.1.8787 BETA' 'AMD 760G' - ignored.

I've opened a ticket to fix that (https://github.com/supertuxkart/stk-code/issues/3114).

Cheers,

I tried the driver mentioned by QwertyChouskie, didn't install the driver as such, but extracted and exchanged the OpenGL part - to no success. As the game is now running (more or less) and also an issue on github was opened, I will not put more time into this (besides writing this post ) - Thanks again!

If you (the devs) need me to test anything on that old computer I will do so, until then I'll just be happy and wait for STK 0.9X which includes a fix hopefully. If not, well, no harm.

[QwertyChouskie]

Generally mixing versions of driver components is not a good idea, you'll be better off installing the whole driver (though you don't need the extras they might bundle). Also you will have to set "force_legacy_device" to false to test.

After updating the driver and setting "force_legacy_device" to false, can you post the new stdout.log? Thanks!

[PapaTux]

I tried 2-3 times, but I got a non working windows (while driver installation screen went black) and had to restore. I'm sorry, I don't have time for this atm, maybe in a few weeks I can try again.

[QwertyChouskie]

No problem.
