Devilutionx: Crash on clean start - armv7 CLI different resolution

Created on 2 Oct 2020 · 11Comments · Source: diasurgical/devilutionX

Debian Buster, RPi1/256Mb, armv7, HEAD (https://github.com/diasurgical/devilutionX/commit/09bd5f0bd88b07464fa55f76be5f74e284798cb0)

Set resolution via raspi-config

$ tvservice -s
state 0xa [HDMI CEA (4) RGB lim 16:9], 1280x720 @ 60.00Hz, progressive

Start in CLI mode not X!

On first start I get this crash: https://gist.github.com/licaon-kter/9e56ef45610330306f37edc60cf6001f

_It appears to work in the next start, but that warrants another issue as there's no image (the game works since there's sound and buttons react to the mouse moving)._

FYI works fine if RPi resolution is setup as 640x480 via raspi-config

Right, so bumping the memory split to 64Mb for GPU and now everything works. Thanks

Try to disable upscaling, I know the RPi's GPU driver isn't the most stable one.

@licaon-kter could you post your ini settings?

AJenbo on 3 Oct 2020

That's the fun part, crashes when there's no INI (yet)

I'll have to retry with an INI that's missing resolution.

See OP: "first start" aka no ini vs "next start" aka default ini

Ok could you try with the latest code, there a crash fix that might be related.

Nope

INFO: Failed to link shader program

Ok this is definatly the driver failing to setup OpenGL. Please disable upscaling and try again.

AJenbo on 3 Oct 2020

Right, that makes it not crash.

licaon-kter on 3 Oct 2020

Ok, sorry but I'm going to close the issue as the fault is with the system being used not with the game it self.

AJenbo on 3 Oct 2020

Switching back to state 0xa [HDMI CEA (1) RGB full 4:3], 640x480 @ 60.00Hz, progressive again, no error.

What do you mean by system? Are shaders resolution dependant?

licaon-kter on 3 Oct 2020

The game works fine on other systems at 1280x720, so it's a problem with your system not being able to run the game at that resolution. Maybe the GPU doesn't have enough memory, but it could also be other issues with the GPU driver.
"Failed to link shader program" is related to GPU driver. It's possible that it doesn't allocate enough memory when running without X. One thing is sure, it is very much out of our control.

There are others getting the same error with other application on RPi https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=157193

At 640x480 it doesn't need to upscale so this could be why you do not get the error at that resolution.

AJenbo on 3 Oct 2020

Right, so bumping the memory split to 64Mb for GPU and now everything works. Thanks
