Will polymer work fine on a 3870 X2? I'm upgrading in the somewhat near future, but just wanna know.

[Skulldog]

Will polymer work on my Packard Bell 486 pc?

[WedgeBob]

I'd doubt that, Skulldog, from judgment in that YouTube video, it seems to require a pretty steep config spec. We'll have to see what the official system requirement and/or recommendation list will be once we finally get Polymer out to public download. I can be rest assured to tell you, it's probably gonna require something far newer than a 486, if it's gonna use the kind of power we think it will.

[Jimmy]

Reread TX's statement, Polymer requires hardware from within the past 5 or 6 years. A definite requirement you'll need is Shader Ver. 2.0.

Don't be stupid. I have a build running on my ZX Spectrum.

Fuck, I gave away the latest feature. Plagman let me post a screenshot at least. Sorry plags!

It's not perfect and has some memory issues (obviously), but despite it running at a rather low 8fps it's actually quite faithful.

To the sarchastic posts replying to mine -.-
i ask because of issues with polymer and ati cards.

[Jimmy]

Sarchastic? Is that like a some sort of Sarcastic Masochist?

I was actually making fun of Wedgebob.

Provided Plagman gets the issues with ATI cards ironed out, that card should fare pretty well. Shadows may have to be turned off though.

[inquisitor]

HI mate. Any estimated release time for a polymer beta?

Aw man, I like shadows!

I mainly meant skulldog -.-

[Skulldog]

Sorry, my bad. I forgot I upgraded 12 years ago. Its a Packard Bell PII.

... and I had my heart set on a version for the BBC Micro

[Skulldog]

LOL, Must of had a 1kb hard drive on BBC Micro. And as for the ATI Card problem, good luck. I tried one of the ATI cards once.
Went back to Best Buy and got a refund. Got a Nvidia card, and no problems after that. Even now I will have to
upgrade my nvidia card to run polymer.

I thought it required SM 3.0?

Also, maybe it is taking so long to reach a release stage because Plag is working on getting us all complimentary GTX 295s.

[Stabs]

its seems more GFX card intensive, little difference between 1024x768 & 1680 x 1050 for me

r1450 : introduced full ROR support, though still unfinished
r1451 : fixed a savegame bug

[atlas]

i know that this is a ways off, but do you think it's possible that eduke32 could support post-process effects (like motion blur, desaturation, noise, bloom, etc) in the future? maybe for both 8bit and hrp?

also, with the coming of eduke32, besides for the obvious new effects, can we expect any major changes for 8bit?

i'd still like to see some more shots of polymer normal mapping on regular 8bit (those shots on the 3dr forums ROCKED)

From what I've heard, all of that may be possible in Polymer eventually, but will not be added to the older renderers. If by "desaturation" you mean displaying as greyscale, that can already be done in Polymost using a tint.

[Jimmy]

You could also just take the 8bit palettes, greyscale them, and reinsert them into the game.

[asdasd]

when this will be released?
anyone could upload his compilation to try it out?

[atlas]

depth of field was another post process filter i forgot.

When it's done and no.

[Stabs]

heh no doubt when/if it gets filters the first thing will be a very nice night vision effect

hi!
I use windows 7 and have ATI Radeon HD 4570 (512mb) graphic card... and have this error:

[TerminX]

You have a GL driver problem... either you haven't installed ATI's driver or you have an OpenGL ICD issue. Either way, your driver is definitely reporting something incompatible to EDuke32!

You're running the default Windows 7 ATI drivers which don't have support for OpenGL. Download the latest Catalysts. You should see a substantial speed boost in pretty much every other game you have as well.

[Sebastian]

There are no updated drivers to the 4570 though.

[The Commander]

I found updating the drivers for ATI on Windows 7 a real pain in the ass, one of the reasons I went back to Win XP.
