Any news about the new engine version?

Hello,

have you any news about the new game engine version?
And another question: can you better improve the documentation for the functions? A function list is useful, but it is so much time consuming to verify how it works checking only the examples in other games, or similar.

Thank you,.

Yup, it's finally out. Not as polished as I would like but it's out.

About the documentation, I know its not much but did you click on a function name?
A description for each function exits, even is they usually are quite short they provide useful information for the less simple function.

WOw! It's out! Thank you, I will check it immediately.

Ok, I can say first comment:
I have a desktop and notebook. Notebook uses Intel i4, and I can confirm GameStart really does not like that card, since I crashes every minute Sad
But I know this fact, since when GameStart starts, I get the message: "GameStart may not work well on Intel i4, since for problems to manage shaders in that card. Intel cards for notebook manage shaders very bad".
I say this just to give you my first feedback. Later I will try it on desktop (nVidia GT260).

Cheers.

Yes, unfortunately. But does it start? I mean can you get some 3d to display on your Intel card?
That would be a huge improvement over what I get.

Basically on my board (G33 or something like that, but Intel anyway) the Intel driver crashes while compiling the first core shader which is the simplest shader you can write. But the driver reports support for all required functions so there is no chance to avoid that except by having a complete database of all cards to manage truly working functionality per driver version...

I remember reading on a opengl.org thread that Unity had to switch to DirectX on Windows for such a reason... Great stuff I tell you Smile.

Well, first time I installed and run the engine, it worked. Then I loaded gsSample and the engine crashed (water example).
Now it crash as soon as I reload the engine it crash immediately.
Tomorrow I will try to reinstall it.
