The Re-Volt Hideout

Greetings RGVL team,

I've recently discovered this hidden gem of a game that i haven't played since childhood, and downloaded the portable version off your website. Windows 64-bit
Everything worked wonderfull last week & i have even been playing with a few friends online locally.

After updating my graphics driver, the game no longer works as intended. As far as i can tell, the game itself works.. But the graphics are piercing to the eyes to put it lightly.

I've attempted to remove the old portable folder of the game i had, re-download it from your website and boot it up again. Same thing happens.
Keep in mind this is not from the Launcher, just the portable game.

I've made sure the driver on my card is the latest and is up to speed.. Yet, it doesn't work. It did change the graphics to a slightly less frustrating color though. Perhaps there's something else i'm missing?

I've attempted to upload a attach the log file to the post aswell, but i can't find a way to allow it. Perhaps you can be of assistance

Is this only in RVGL? Or in other games too?

Hello,

This only happens in Re-Volt, and no other games.
I've been testing on various games over the weekend, and i am curently only able to replicate the issue on Re-Volt

I had the same problem and figured it out
It probably happens because of some incompatibility with amd drivers
To fix it you gotta run the game with the -noshader launch parameter (if you're using the launcher just type it in the bottom)

Hello djbartosz,

Thanks for your reply.
I booted the game in a powershell with "-noshader" and that solved the issue.

I'd consider this "fixed" for now, thanks for your quick reply!

Hello. This issue has been reported by a few players, and it seems to be introduced by a recent driver update for AMD graphics cards. The latest AMD driver breaks the support for an OpenGL feature called Separate Shader Objects. The exact cause behind this is unknown, but the recommended workaround is to disable SSO (set EnableSSO = 0 in profiles/rvgl.ini). Disabling shaders altogether using the -noshader parameter is not recommended unless there is no other option. Hope that helps.

Hello Huki,

Thanks for your reply.

Can you by any chance provide a small/minor guide as to how to "disable SSO (set EnableSSO = 0 in profiles/rvgl.ini)".
My knowledge of how and where to do that is somewhat limited.

Best Regards

Inside your game folder, there is a profiles folder. Inside the profiles folder, there is a configuration file called rvgl.ini. Open it in a text editor, and find the line that starts with EnableSSO. Set it to 0 and save the file.

Hello Huki,

I managed to find it, and it works.
Thanks for your assistance
