I am looking for anyone who has any of the following problems with scripts.dll 3.x:
Slowdowns
Black screen
No graphics
Crashes that happen right on startup before it renders graphics (and/or that mention d3d8.dll in the first lines of the crashdump.txt file)
FPS drops
or any other graphic related issues.

If you have any of these problems (and have tried scripts.dll 3.4.4 but still get the problem), post your details here including your system specs, windows version, graphics card and anything else relavent to the problem (such as crashdumps)

I seem to be spamming up the TT threads. =p

But with 3.4.4 currently with shaders, I have this issue:

System Specifications:

Windows XP Home Edition
Intel Celeron 2.2Ghz
ATi Radeon X1550 PCI
1.5GB DDR PC2700

The ATi card most likely being the issue.

btw, I should say that I am only interested in people who have graphic problems with shaders switched OFF in the config options.

Bah! The problem has most likely already been fixed anyway.

Just so you know, about 95% of the code belonging to shaders.dll 3.4.4 was scrapped and rebuilt. What shaders.dll 4.0 does doesn't really compare at all to what 3.4.4 used to do. For the most part, there aren't any issues showing up in shaders.dll 4.0 Big Ups

My ren blacks out during gameplay whenever I have shaders on, but that's probably because my graphics card is cruddy. You guys can atleast have it off on default, becuase it took me forever to realize that I had to turn it off.

I blame that on scene shaders which so many people installed even though they were supposed to be "examples" of how to use the system and not meant for gameplay. Scene shaders are now off by default in 4.0 and also have a detail level slider to allow enabling of only some less expensive effects, or to enable all the shinies. Regular shaders also have their own detail level slider, and there will be "real" shaders for everybody to use. The shader detail level slider will default to a level appropriate to your video card.

I was just wondering something small. Does the second texture pass of a surface still float visibly on top of the first pass?

My problem is the moment I click on the ren's .exe, I black-screen and it just stays like that. I'm most likely guessing it's my graphics card. I don't know what kind of graphics card I have though, except for the fact it blows.

What shaders.dll 4.0 does doesn't really compare at all to what 3.4.4 used to do.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Like are the new shaders so stripped from the old ones that you shouldn't even be calling them shaders anymore?

Or are they redone to a point where they are so good you couldn't tell they evolved from the old shaders?

They better not be! Although that updated lightshader is magnificent. In Love

Will you be making a post similar to jonwil's 4.0 changelog, showing us the new and updated shaders? Or will they remain hidden for now?

A changelog post? I don't even remember what I've changed anymore Stern

(Seriously. I started work on shaders 4.0 about two months after 3.4.4 was released, well before any new version of scripts.dll was in the works)

Nah, not a changelog. I mean visually showing us new/improved shaders all in a "megapost" if you will. Screenshots, etc.

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that. This game is too important for me to allow it to be jeopardized by screenshots of such immense shinyness.
