@Jupeyy Could you take a look please?

[Jupeyy]

Made a bug report to AMD, since i also face it on Windows.
But I also tried different OpenGL versions and all are crashing, so I assume it's either one of our libs (SDL, GLEW etc.) or just a bug in the driver

[def-]

Is there any quick fix we can put out to work around this and enforce correct opengl usage on amd gpus?

[Jupeyy]

I know the exact line now that crashes it, but there is no real workaround for it, except not using our opengl backend or default amd users to the old backend.

for older opengl its
glTexParameteri(Target, GL_GENERATE_MIPMAP, GL_TRUE);

or for gl 3.3
glGenerateMipmap(GL_TEXTURE_2D_ARRAY);

But even if i remove mipmap building its broken, as if the texture wasnt loaded at all
I even looked in render doc... nothing loaded at all, really weird.
I made a second bug report explaining what exactly fails. I hope that they can fix it really soon.

Another workaround would ofc be use vulkan default :PP

[def-]

I guess Vulkan-only is also too risky. Hm, no good solution then. How can AMD just break OpenGL, that looks like pretty basic usage?

[Jupeyy]

Type in amd 22.7.1 in google and you will see this is probably a compete new driver with much more performance. Also this is a beta driver

[def-]

Do you have a link to the AMD bug? Maybe we can ask them for a workaround. Or even better if they can tell us if we are doing something wrong. Other OpenGL games appear to work based on a google search.

Wrote a news entry on website and steam, hope that helps a bit.

It's a report tool not a forum so no. But I don't think we are doing something wrong. It worked the last 5 years, simply a bug in their drivers

[RisbergAdam]

The AMD driver will crash in atio6axx.dll!eglGetProcAddress if you call glGenerateMipmap for array textures having depth greater than 2 times the width or height in my tests, might be what is happening here.

Can you please query your GPU driver version?

Afaik this bug should have already been fixed in newer AMD drivers (and only beta drivers were affected)

[RisbergAdam]

Can't query the GPU driver version since I've updated since, and you're right that the issue is fixed in newer drivers. The driver I had appears to have been installed through microsoft update though and the windows driver store version was 31.0.12027.9001. I'm unable to find which adrenaline release this corresponds to but should be 22.10.1 or 22.10.2.

[Jupeyy]

Thanks for clearing that up, since OpenGL is not our default backend anymore, i think it doesn't matter too much.

I'll also close this issue for now, since I also didn't see similar issues reported on discord
