[RESOLVED] Flashing shapes with static (dual Intel and AMD GPUs)

[muffins]

Hi, I've been playing this game for a couple of months just fine on my desktop. Recently, I've tried playing it on a new laptop but whenever I start a new match, triangular shapes of static start flashing and some icons and text flicker. I get this error message every time this happens:

Much to our regret we must report the program has encountered an error.

Please let us know at http://trac.wildfiregames.com/ and attach the crashlog.txt and crashlog.dmp files.

Details: unhandled exception (Access violation reading 0x00000004)

Location: unknown:0 (?)

Call stack:

(error while dumping stack: No stack frames found)

errno = 42 (?)

OS error = 0 (no error code was set)

I've tried searching through the forums without luck and I hope someone could tell me what might be going on.

Crash logs are attached here:

Try turning on GLSL in the options as you have an Intel GPU if I remember correctly that should deal with the artefacts you are seeing before it crashes.

It could be an issue with post processing initialization that is fixed for A18, though your GPU is definitely new enough that it supports FBOs. At least in the crash dump, pglBindFramebufferEXT is a null pointer, though it indicates the crash is occurring inside the driver itself. If enabling GLSL per Loki1950's suggestion doesn't help, then I would try updating your drivers.

Wow, thanks for the quick replies.

Its working now but it wasn't by enabling GLSL, which didn't seem to affect the issue. The laptop I use had an integrated Intel GPU and a dedicated AMD one, so I opened up their settings and set everything on max which stopped the static and flashing triangles. Could it be the multiple GPUs that caused the problem?

It is unfortunately they don't swith correctly sometimes. Left clicking on the desktop you should have an option to configure switchable, setting an application to high performance will make sure it is run by the good GPU.

Yeah lots of laptops use dual GPU's now cheaper on the manufacturing side but it can be a @#$% when they don't behave.Getting them to work on Linux can be tiresome.
