Hello, I don't consider this a bug because texture-compression=true is not available from game options, it just remnant from time I considered compressing all sprites but rest of the team didn't like compression artifacts that are quite visible on animated sprites. On a 4K 43" display I haven'...

Two gigabytes VRAM. Is there a difference?

Note: I can ONLY reproduce it on HQ sprites + "all memory" setting. It works fine on any other setting. I have texture compression on the documented "auto" setting for the test's purpose.

Maybe some HQ sprites don't correspond to low-quality replacements? Here's the log.

I'm attaching screenshots and my save.

The big reason is that the hello triangle program is easily around 1000 lines of code. The majority of which is filling in the structs and various bits of busywork. The next reason is that the user has to keep synchronization straight. It is truly a async work api where you submit bits of work to b...

Have you tried this config option? The default "auto" option makes only some of the atlases S3TC-compressed. It has one side effect–atlases lose their attributes. Hover over particular atlases in F3 view and see how they lack any of the "smoke", "mipmap", "decal&qu...

It's the option:

System -> Advanced -> Performance -> Visual -> Show shadows under mouse pointer

Thanks for having me look for it Now opengl has a fully-working cursor.

First off, note the usage of Alien Biomes to exacerbate the problem, and the config option "texture-compression=true" for VRAM usage's sake. The actual "low VRAM" texture streaming mode is disabled. The rest of the options are pretty sane. Also: - video-memory-usage=medium - grap...

Compressing atlases takes a very long time during startup. The scenario here is "texture-compression=true" in the config file. 3.826 Created atlas bitmap 4096x1896 [compressed, mask] 3.843 Created atlas bitmap 4096x4092 [no-crop, compressed, trilinear-filtering, mask, icon, light] 3.849 Cr...

Forced GL on Windows doesn't display the cursor in fullscreen mode. I'm doing some tests and having it playable can help a lot.

Note, on this Radeon there are no obvious artifacts or other issues but different performance characteristics.

Well, this just dropped: https://www.khronos.org/news/press/vulkan-applications-enabled-on-apple-platforms One Vulkan Renderer is now sufficient for all three platforms.. There's no real benefit over glMultiDraw* family of functions, for the Factorio use-case. It's enough to use a GL 4.3+ core cont...

What is the reason behind the game freezing on max unzoom and very overused VRAM? It fails to render even one frame more at that point. Is it VRAM thrashing or something more? I saw a video of a guy who made a pacman computer who said the same in the video: "zooming out further makes Factorio c...

I have the separate lower object atlas enabled at this time. The issue's happening inside a normal unmodded game but especially visible with a mod adding additional biomes. Please note, the default of "max possible size" atlas makes a single atlas 800 MB in size: (2^14)^2 * 3. This works o...

Drawing decoratives is slow on the Windows Radeon driver. I can't keep up 60 Hz at 4K with max unzoom. It can go down to 30 Hz on some tiles, depending on the amount of decoratives. I was watching the timing info–renderer is over 16 ms and buffer flip takes up to few milliseconds. Please consider an...

Hey, I'm able to run hires sprites on the flaky Radeon 270x with 2GB VRAM. This throws a warning when choosing hires sprites but with the correct settings, allows for 60 FPS. I don't know how it works on the NVIDIA drivers, or on Linux. I expect Linux Mesa drivers perform better than Windows with it...
