I was going to fix this game or at least look at it.. But in another thread I hear they are going to go Vulcan with the API..
I was wondering if it was even worth it too look at the Alpha version of where it is at now.. I figure if the go Vulcan 3D Migoto will not work is this correct..
I was poking around and got it working in S3D it appears this game as it stands is VERY Broken..
1. Shadows broke.
2. A lot of Bllom effects need fixing..
3. seems like some sort of Blur effect which screws things up..
4. Lights looking weird..
I also noticed there is no real settings to change certain effects like bloom, Blur and such.. there are only presets Low, Med, High, Ultra High..
The game also seemd like it was not very crisp looked like I was running really low res. I did not get out to space but inside there are many broke effects..
Looking again at the code it appears there is something wrong with line 253?? I think I see the problem but not sure what to do to fix it.. I will go look at some other code in Crysis 3 & 4 maybe..

Vulkan is more like OpenGL , than it is DirectX.
Vulkan is more like Mantle, than it is OpenGL.
So no, 3Dmigoto will not work with Vulkan.
Note: Vul[color="orange"]k[/color]an, is spelled with a [color="orange"]k[/color], not like the pointy eared Star Trek character.
Yeah if they go full Vulkan, we don't have a tool that can do that. It might be possible for Helifax to make a variant of his OpenGL wrapper in the future.
At present we have no plans to do that, because any game that ships with a specific API requirement like that tends to not be well received. I'd be really surprised if they did not have a Direct3D fallback path for their game, which is where 3Dmigoto could come in.
Using Lumberyard seems like a totally bizarre choice to me, but it's probably related to them wanting access to AWS for their MMORG style play. Gives them server support that is otherwise hard to build.
If you really care about this game it doesn't hurt to put in some fixing effort up front, just keep in mind that it tends to be a waste of time, because the early access tends to change a lot, and each change tends to break a fix. So you end up having to do the fix over and over again.
As a general rule, I recommend waiting of course, but it's always your choice.

Yes, I was more or less looking to see if I could fix it and how it looked in S3D basically.. Maybe not a fix for public consumption..
Right now there are a lot of 2D Lights all over the place. I am going to look at some other fixes I know of that fixed 2D Light sources and see if I can get them corrected as disabling them is making the station very dark..
Anyword on the above code I posted and how to go about fixing it?? Probally an easy fix for the more learned but to me it is Greek. ;)

Also, as a strategy, start with different profiles. Especially for a game that doesn't have an NVidia profile, a lot of things can be fixed, simply by profile settings.
That shader is OK. That's a warning for a missing instruction, but in fact the code is actually correct, so it should work as is.
Let me know if it's not working correctly. Best place to see if a shader has compiled correctly or not is in the log file.

OK will check the log file.. It is weird because a shader has the same error code thing and when I set the shader to disable it does not disable??
I will check different profiles to start with.. so back to square one..
EDIT: The first picture is what Star Citizen looks like with no shaders removed. you can see the light reflections from the top of the doors to the floor they are 2D there are quite a few.
The 2nd Picture shows with the shader removed to help give a better idea what is in the file I will post in a minute..
Now I looked at some others code and it seemed a little cryptic to me at least.. I tried injecting and changing it too what I thought it should be but it had no effect and at 1 point it seemed to have disabled the shader..
here is the code of the shader from the 2D Light reflections:

Here is the code I think I can inject in here to fix it of course with different variables this is just a sample not the actual one I would stick in there:
// Apply a stereo correction to the temporary register that holds a copy of the
output position:
float4 stereo = StereoParams.Load(0);
r1.x += stereo.x * (r1.w - stereo.y);
now I could think what goes where and whatnot but I would rather if some kind sould could explain what is what and how I would determine which variables go where..
It would be easy just to code it for me but I would like to grasp it for myself and to be honest I still not fully getting it..
I did have another post and it was broke down a bit what these variables where and that hhelped so something like that breakdown and maybe leave it so I should have to try and figure it out myself..
That would be greatly helpful.

FFS give it up.
Anything done at this time is just a waste, as it's officially been announced that they are moving to VulKan, as you already know.
DSS is the only one that has had any real success with CryEngine.
You can't seriously expect anyone to help you with this POS aborted game engine that they are currently using.
CryEngine was fucked up enough on it's own .
The Lumberyard and Star Engines are forks of CryEngine, which can't be a good thing for anyone trying to fix.
If you really want to attempt anything with this, do yourself and everyone a favor and read everything that DSS has posted in regards to the CryEngine.

Well Like I said it was just basically something that maybe I could learn with.. I guess this is dead in the water but will go and try and finmd the links from DSS..
Thanx all I will retreat into the woodshed and labor by myself I guess..
Thnx anyway ;)

Yah, sorry for being rude, I was just pointing out the futility in working on this since it's CryEngine based and not easy, in any sense. Let alone that the fact that anything that is done, will be for not, once the API swaps to Vulkan.
Take a look at the wishlist, perhaps there is something on their that might pique your interest. Keep in mind that some of the games on there already have fixes in progress, but are stalled due to technical difficulties. So refer to the forums here to see the current status.
Anyhow, I would avoid CryEngine, if I was starting out. I'm not a shaderhacker, but I follow the forums fairly closely and I'm think that others would agree with my assessment here.
BTW: you can read about the use of CryEngine as a base for the forks, at these links

I was so excited for this game and backed early. Slowly but surely they have somehow managed to suck all the life out of it for me and this latest revelation regarding only vulkan support is final nail in the coffin for me.

I hear ya. Roberts always does this though, remember Freelancer? He gets an idea, gets a green light and then he keeps adding to it and changing it. He doesn't know when to stop. Freelancer still turned out to be a good game on release but it was nothing like he either originally or ultimately envisioned.
I just want to play Squadron 42 now - why can't he release that as a proof of concept and then continue to work on his everything but the kitchen sink project afterwards.

Hey D-Man11 that is OK I understand no sence in us getting mad at each other there are so few of us 3D Gamers we need to stick together. I am not mad Like I said I did just think it was a good test and learning more or less for me..
I did manage to get some things fixed in it and If I can figure out the shadow thing I think I pretty much got it.. But that is something I can toil with and yes I understand the futility but I did not know they where going Vulkan when I purchased it the other night and it was pretty high on the list for games to get done..
That is why I thought I would take a crack at it until I found out they where gonna switch to Vulkan.. Butr I figured since I just wasted 45USD I thought I would see IF I could fix it for the mean time.. I understand that it will be a waste but basically it is my time to waste..
IF no one wants to help me I understand just say so or don't answer my Questions as I would just love to figure out shadows on a Personnel level..
I can post some screenshots of my Progress and it really is not that bad but the most real problem is from the developers and the lack of control over the stuff they throw in there like Blur effects and such as there is ONLY a General level to set the detail.. Low, Med., High, Ultra High..
I will double check the wishlist and see what is going on over there then check here to see what is being worked on..
Thank you all. I still Love the idea of us fixing these games this is so cool.. And remember Please be kind to each other as we are a small group we don't need to Lose members over nonsensical stuff ;)

Ryse Son of Rome is the only dx11 game fixed using CryEngine and 3Dmigoto.

GL.
Well I looked in that link to Ryse they did not fix the shadows there so I may be out of luck with Shadows but that is not too bad as it is really based in Outer space..
They don't look too broke but they are not stereoised either so I guess that is what is broke..
I am probally just gonna give this one up as I ran into a lot of brick walls..
Sorry Folks Vulkan ruined the day for 3D & Star Citizen.. :(
Well I looked in that link to Ryse they did not fix the shadows there so I may be out of luck with Shadows but that is not too bad as it is really based in Outer space..

I was going to fix this game or at least look at it.. But in another thread I hear they are going to go Vulcan with the API..
I was wondering if it was even worth it too look at the Alpha version of where it is at now.. I figure if the go Vulcan 3D Migoto will not work is this correct..
I was poking around and got it working in S3D it appears this game as it stands is VERY Broken..
1. Shadows broke.
2. A lot of Bllom effects need fixing..
3. seems like some sort of Blur effect which screws things up..
4. Lights looking weird..
I also noticed there is no real settings to change certain effects like bloom, Blur and such.. there are only presets Low, Med, High, Ultra High..
The game also seemd like it was not very crisp looked like I was running really low res. I did not get out to space but inside there are many broke effects..
Looking again at the code it appears there is something wrong with line 253?? I think I see the problem but not sure what to do to fix it.. I will go look at some other code in Crysis 3 & 4 maybe..

Vulkan is more like Mantle, than it is OpenGL.
So no, 3Dmigoto will not work with Vulkan.
Note: Vulkan, is spelled with a k, not like the pointy eared Star Trek character.
At present we have no plans to do that, because any game that ships with a specific API requirement like that tends to not be well received. I'd be really surprised if they did not have a Direct3D fallback path for their game, which is where 3Dmigoto could come in.
Using Lumberyard seems like a totally bizarre choice to me, but it's probably related to them wanting access to AWS for their MMORG style play. Gives them server support that is otherwise hard to build.
If you really care about this game it doesn't hurt to put in some fixing effort up front, just keep in mind that it tends to be a waste of time, because the early access tends to change a lot, and each change tends to break a fix. So you end up having to do the fix over and over again.
As a general rule, I recommend waiting of course, but it's always your choice.

Right now there are a lot of 2D Lights all over the place. I am going to look at some other fixes I know of that fixed 2D Light sources and see if I can get them corrected as disabling them is making the station very dark..
Anyword on the above code I posted and how to go about fixing it?? Probally an easy fix for the more learned but to me it is Greek. ;)

Also, as a strategy, start with different profiles. Especially for a game that doesn't have an NVidia profile, a lot of things can be fixed, simply by profile settings.
That shader is OK. That's a warning for a missing instruction, but in fact the code is actually correct, so it should work as is.
Let me know if it's not working correctly. Best place to see if a shader has compiled correctly or not is in the log file.

I will check different profiles to start with.. so back to square one..
EDIT: The first picture is what Star Citizen looks like with no shaders removed. you can see the light reflections from the top of the doors to the floor they are 2D there are quite a few.
The 2nd Picture shows with the shader removed to help give a better idea what is in the file I will post in a minute..
Now I looked at some others code and it seemed a little cryptic to me at least.. I tried injecting and changing it too what I thought it should be but it had no effect and at 1 point it seemed to have disabled the shader..
here is the code of the shader from the 2D Light reflections:
Here is the code I think I can inject in here to fix it of course with different variables this is just a sample not the actual one I would stick in there:
// Apply a stereo correction to the temporary register that holds a copy of the
output position:
float4 stereo = StereoParams.Load(0);
r1.x += stereo.x * (r1.w - stereo.y);
now I could think what goes where and whatnot but I would rather if some kind sould could explain what is what and how I would determine which variables go where..
It would be easy just to code it for me but I would like to grasp it for myself and to be honest I still not fully getting it..
I did have another post and it was broke down a bit what these variables where and that hhelped so something like that breakdown and maybe leave it so I should have to try and figure it out myself..
That would be greatly helpful.

Anything done at this time is just a waste, as it's officially been announced that they are moving to VulKan, as you already know.
DSS is the only one that has had any real success with CryEngine.
You can't seriously expect anyone to help you with this POS aborted game engine that they are currently using.
CryEngine was fucked up enough on it's own .
The Lumberyard and Star Engines are forks of CryEngine, which can't be a good thing for anyone trying to fix.
If you really want to attempt anything with this, do yourself and everyone a favor and read everything that DSS has posted in regards to the CryEngine.
Thanx all I will retreat into the woodshed and labor by myself I guess..
Thnx anyway ;)

Take a look at the wishlist, perhaps there is something on their that might pique your interest. Keep in mind that some of the games on there already have fixes in progress, but are stalled due to technical difficulties. So refer to the forums here to see the current status.
Anyhow, I would avoid CryEngine, if I was starting out. I'm not a shaderhacker, but I follow the forums fairly closely and I'm think that others would agree with my assessment here.
BTW: you can read about the use of CryEngine as a base for the forks, at these links

I hear ya. Roberts always does this though, remember Freelancer? He gets an idea, gets a green light and then he keeps adding to it and changing it. He doesn't know when to stop. Freelancer still turned out to be a good game on release but it was nothing like he either originally or ultimately envisioned.
I just want to play Squadron 42 now - why can't he release that as a proof of concept and then continue to work on his everything but the kitchen sink project afterwards.
I did manage to get some things fixed in it and If I can figure out the shadow thing I think I pretty much got it.. But that is something I can toil with and yes I understand the futility but I did not know they where going Vulkan when I purchased it the other night and it was pretty high on the list for games to get done..
That is why I thought I would take a crack at it until I found out they where gonna switch to Vulkan.. Butr I figured since I just wasted 45USD I thought I would see IF I could fix it for the mean time.. I understand that it will be a waste but basically it is my time to waste..
IF no one wants to help me I understand just say so or don't answer my Questions as I would just love to figure out shadows on a Personnel level..
I can post some screenshots of my Progress and it really is not that bad but the most real problem is from the developers and the lack of control over the stuff they throw in there like Blur effects and such as there is ONLY a General level to set the detail.. Low, Med., High, Ultra High..
I will double check the wishlist and see what is going on over there then check here to see what is being worked on..
Thank you all. I still Love the idea of us fixing these games this is so cool.. And remember Please be kind to each other as we are a small group we don't need to Lose members over nonsensical stuff ;)
