Invisible text in the editor with old AMD GPU on Windows 7 #686

Shockblast · 2014-09-10T14:41:07Z

(Sorry my english)
Hi, I come to report a bug godot in "Windows 7", the problem is that when you start godot text is not displayed or is "invisible", and and tried several ways to try to solve the problem (basic solutions) to update "Windows", compile godot (the latest github, gives the same problem), update directx,drivers, compatibility mode and some other (problem not solved).

(original text)
Hola, vengo a reportar un bug con godot in"Windows 7", el problema consiste que al iniciar godot el texto no aparece en pantalla o es "invisible", ya e intentado varias formas de intentar solucionar el problema (soluciones básicas) como actualizar "Windows", compilar godot (la ultima versión de github, da el mismo problema), actualizar directx, drivers, modo de compatibilidad y algunas otras (el problema no se soluciona).

this might be fixed in the latest version, think you could give it a try?

reduz · 2014-09-19T16:19:01Z

I really have no idea why this fails, though.. probably something not supported in old hardware, but i have no way to test.

- #672 (default user:// in $HOME/.godot/app_userdata (linux/osx) and $APPDATA/Godot/app_userdata (Windows) - #676 (draw both tiles and octants in order from top to bottom, left to right ) - #686 (unicode escape sequences work now) - #702 (was not a bug, but a test was added to see if bodies went too far away)

other detail that I miss is the MB: ECS A790GXM-AD3

rojohound · 2014-12-16T00:43:28Z

I get the invisible text as well. For me the command line output with -v is:

I looked it up in the source and 0x8CD5 is GL_FRAMEBUFFER_COMPLETE.
My graphics card is a ati radeon x1200. According to "GPU Caps viewer" it has:
GL_VERSION 2.1.8545 Release
GLSL VERSION 1.20

Does Godot expect a certain gl version?

I have a feeling this has to do with GPUs with Directx9b, which do not
support something specific

My Directx is 11.

the-mech · 2015-01-21T13:40:25Z

since godot uses framebuffer, i think you need at least opengl 3.0 to run it..

godotengine · 2015-01-21T13:43:35Z

2.1 generally works as pretty much all 2.1 hardware supports FBOs, I think
the problem with the fonts is related to the texture format, but i'm not
sure

Thanks for your support. I want to get Godot run on my Laptop.
Is there a work around?

Engine is not running with -vd GLES1 either.

how did you hide the text with "... Button"?

gles 1 is gone forever, but there might be a way. Can you compile it
yourself? this way I can help you try different approaches until it works

GodotofHanoi · 2015-01-21T15:55:02Z

How long would this take?

bushig · 2015-01-27T03:55:33Z

Same problem, but godot of the same version with the same hardware worked in ubuntu 14.10 and windows 8.1. Problem is in windows 7. I have not an english version of windows (and probably everyone else in this thread), but saving godot in root directory doesn't help. Videocard is also old - amd hd 4800
upd1: even with english interface problem is still there.
upd2: I fixed the problem. It was problem with GPU drivers. Windows 7 dont allow to install drivers and everytime you you install catalyst control center process goes well and you think you done it well, but drivers still the same. The way I fixed it: Enter device manager, find your videocard, press update drivers, choose "Browse my computer" then pick VGA standart windows drivers, not an ATI driver. Then you can install ATI legacy drivers 13.9. This problem is probably also happens with windows 8 and 8.1, fix should be the same.

Shockblast · 2015-02-03T19:40:30Z

so... problem "solved"?

gnat · 2015-02-17T20:20:01Z

Can replicate this exact issue using an ATI X1300 on Windows 7.. the final official driver update is from 2010 (version 10.2 from ATI/AMD).

eVoLuTiVeMEDIA · 2015-05-16T22:55:01Z

Wish I could test this promising game engine, seems really great
but I'm having the same problem (hidden text and 0x8CD5 status)
Tested in Windows 7 + Core 2 Duo with an ATI Radeon 1550

rojohound · 2015-05-18T08:21:44Z

I've got godot compiling on my machine so I can do some digging.

It seems that some glTexImage2D() calls were causing INVALID_VALUE errors. My guess was that _GL_RG_EXT isn't actually supported by my card as all the other parameters seemed valid.

I made use_fp16_fb to be false in RasterizerGLES2's constructor so that GL_RGBA is used instead. The good news is that resolved the logged errors and gDebugger doesn't show any opengl errors. The bad news is the text is still invisible.

rojohound · 2015-05-18T17:43:01Z

Eureka!
It's a known mipmapping issue with ati drivers prior to 2011, where the mipmap isn't generated.
https://www.opengl.org/wiki/Common_Mistakes#Automatic_mipmap_generation.
This is useful for legacy integrated ati cards where the newest drivers you can get are from 2010.

The fix is to precede all calls to
glGenerateMipmap(GL_TEXTURE_2D)
with
glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D)

And the text is then visible in godot.

EDIT:
As an update the mipmap fix is independent of the other errors. I haven't found a proper fix for them yet.

WinnerEX · 2016-03-29T03:33:46Z

So this is a user-end only fix with adding calls for compiling? This topic was addressed 11 months ago and godot 2.0/2.0.1 still fail to render text.

Shockblast · 2016-04-04T15:05:14Z

(sorry my english)
sorry, but I can not test with the current version, now I have another hardware.

akien-mga · 2016-07-15T07:58:46Z

Not critical for the upcoming 2.1, so moving to the next milestone.

akien-mga · 2016-07-19T09:40:37Z

Might get fixed when the GLES2 renderer will be reworked in 3.0.

akien-mga · 2018-05-09T08:27:43Z

Godot's rendering changed a lot since this issue was initially reported. Godot 3.0 now requires OpenGL 3.3 (so such GPU would likely not be able to run it), and Godot 3.1 will add back support for OpenGL 2.1, but fully rewritten, so there would likely be new bugs and maybe not the old ones.

As such, closing this issue. If you still experience something similar in a recent Godot version, feel free to comment here or open a new issue.
