3.1 and 2.3: textures are gone

Post by shentino »

Ok...somehow I'm not getting any textures visible.

Other games work fine using opengl, so I doubt it's a driver issue.

Gentoo, intel graphics.

The last suspicious thing I did was nuke a /usr/local install made from the trunk. Before I did that everything worked. I do have it installed normally as a gentoo package still.

I am betting it still is a video driver issue.
Most likely the driver is lying to Warzone's checks, so it don't really support something it says it supports, or it has bugs in the call(s) that Warzone uses.

Is it big white space or just nothing?

Fixed issue on IRC. It was a case of OpenGL saying 'yeah, we totally support texture compression', but since libtxc_dxtn is not installed, it doesn't, and no error is given. Solution: Either pass the command line argument to not compress textures, or install libtxc_dxtn. This issue only seems to arise on Gentoo and Arch.

Are those the only two, or just the only two known distros to have this issue?

There are quite a few Linux distributions (see: http://futurist.se/gldt/wp-content/uplo ... dt1210.png). I haven't checked them all. I've only heard of this issue from those two, though.

libtxc_dxtn
/me loves intuitive stuff and is forever impressed with linux package names.
Thanks; never had such issue on Arch though, dunno why.
