My old map opened just fine in DX11, but it's not very massive (only a blank strip of terrain with a couple assets really). Could try legacy drivers since it would be nice to be able to open Forest as well.

hehe all good

@KingBadger,

I went over your logs and the problem is actually quite obvious, unfortuantely, there isn't much we can do about it.

You'll see right before you crash in your log that actually mostly everything works until these few shaders...

These are very bad errors and means something is messing up with either both the Illum and Veg shaders OR with the renderer.

You guys should be ok making new maps etc... but I'm concerned that if you use an asset with this particular shader permuation it might induce crashing.

Anyways not that it's that useful to you just wanted to let you know where it went wrong.

Cheers Criminal, Think ill leave this build alone in terms of my MountainRange Community map and just stick to the old build for now. Maybe have a play with importing some of my charecters and architecture for testing SSS and Displace.

I REALLY still think it's worth trying some legacy drivers still!
I'd do it myself if I could!

@Criminal, Lol. OK dude; ill eat my takeout and give it a whirl. Im just having a night in as never go into town for a night out on Friday 13th hahaha

Like I said in the other thread, you can rollback to DX9 by putting "r_driver = DX9" in your system.cfg.

Hahaha, Cheers steve. But beleive it or not in a DX11 update id like to be able to run DX11. Why use the new build if im just going to use dx9 as far as i know the new AI modifier/sss/displace dont work in dx9 anyway. DING DING DING DING, food has arrived. To be continued....

From what i've gathered so far, latest AMD drivers are suffering the issue. I'd really appreciate anyone who can provide some info/logs on an old set of AMD drivers, at least 3-6 months old just so we can get some footing on the issue.

I'm doing just that!

radeon 6870 here, with 11.11 drivers (november last year, old enough? : facing the same dx11 issue (dx9 is fine). editor works until i load a level. attached both log files!

It always crashes for me while loading windsock.cda If that any help.

What happens if you delete that file?

Thanks for the info guys!

It load. But Forest level have no assets at all. And in Brushes I don't see anything.
Thus I just edited pak file with 7-zip, so missing assets are probably my fault

So the crash is definitely caused by that file, you'd say?

At least for me. You guys probably can check it better. I look more into it, and look for other assets.
I have Radeon 7850 and newset drivers.
