...

First time user of this engine and got this error on start up, i have all drivers and updates on my pc. Is there somthing missing? or is it driver related? I havnt had much time to play with this and wanted to checkout the demos.

I'm afraid your graphics card is too old

What are the actual minimum system requirements for Grit? They wouldn't go a miss being stated on the Wiki.

You need shader model 3. I think that's probably about it, other than the fact it will obviously be slower on a less powerful machine. As more stuff gets implemented and the existing stuff is optimised properly, we'll have a better idea of what kind of machine is needed.

A bit late with this reply, but can there be fallback shaders written that would alleviate this? Without too much trouble I mean.

just trying to run grit.exe, its locking up here:

/system/gfx.lua:87: OGRE EXCEPTION(3:RenderingAPIException): Cannot create D3D9 pixel shader deferred_ambient_sun_f from microcode.

Try turning off deferredShading in user_cfg.lua

Spark, I have similar problem, here is the last part of log:

I couldn't find user_cfg.lua anywhere, and I tried to create new one in system folder and add "deferredShading = false" in it, but that didn't helped.
I don't need modern graphics features, is it possible to run engine on the pc with integrated video chipset? Btw Unity 3d runs just fine =)

Grit is all about modern graphics features I'm afraid, there is no code that will work on hardware less powerful than the last generation of consoles.

I've had the engine for a little while now, but haven't used it as of yet. I've instead been reading everything I can about it.

Perhaps this issue has been brought up before, but I couldn't find it (so I apologize if you have to point me to an existing post).



Crashes out complaining about Grit.dat

Error details:


I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit on an AMD Phenom II X6 1100T CPU Overclocked from 3.3GHz per core to 3.8GHz. I have 32GB of RAM (16 Physical, and 16 Virtual (Allocated)), over 2 TB of HDD space, as well as an ATI Radeon HD 8650 from Sapphire running DirectX 11.

I haven't found a game yet I can't play, so I'm reluctant to think system specs are behind this, but hopefully Spark or someone can point me in the right direction.

That looks pretty bad -- it's a crash, probably in Ogre, with no indication of what might be wrong. If your system is generally stable (doesn't crash playing modern games) then it's probably some bug in our code or Ogre. However it's impossible to know what could be causing it without debugging it on the machine itself. I don't suppose you have any programming experience?

Not enough to claim credit to it.

But I'm beginning to think this may be something on my end, because while awaiting reply I decided to try CryEngine, and it's refusing to run as well - griping about a DX11 related DLL.

If it would help bring about resolution, I could grant teamviewer access to you or someone who actually has the ability to debug these.

It's not totally clear that cryengine / grit are related problems, but it is a bit suspicious. It'd be good if you could get cryengine working again to eliminate that I don't even have a windows machine anymore, unfortunately, but maybe NTA could take a look.

Hi guys,

Just dl'ed grit and went to launch it, everything seems to go fine until i get the windows error message "a problem has occurred and grit.dat needs to close, do you want to send an error report to Microsoft?"

Only one warning appears in the compiler saying:

"WARNING: material /system/Sky has no insupportable Techniques and will be blank. Explanation:
Pass 0: Fragment program /system/SkyProgram_f cannot be used - not supported."

(this is the last line in the compiler before the grit.dat problem occurs)


Any advice?
