Error while linking a program 'Shaders/BasicBlockDepthOnly.program'

[damienflament]

Hi !

I just downloaded OpenSpades 0.1.2 for Windows. The launcher shows up fine. As this computer is quite old, I put all graphical configuration options to "Low", disable Antialiasing and other graphical improvements.

Using software rendering, it works.

But when starting the game using OpenGL rendering, it fails showing a error message:

 A serious error caused OpenSpades to stop working:
 Error while linking a program 'Shaders/BasicBlockDepthOnly.program'

Maybe is it due to some missing libraries or bad libraries versions ?

Which are the requirements on Windows (usually I play on Linux) ?

Probably it’s a duplicate of #741. It’s a video driver’s bug that causes compilation failure with no-op shaders.

Please see my comment that includes a temporary work-around for this issue.

@damienflament Could you please check if the aforementioned workaround fixes your probem?

[damienflament]

Yes. It works. I got other issues but the game launches
.
As said by @yvt, it seems to be a video driver bug, because some graphic issues appends with AoS too. But it's not my computer so I will not investigate further.

Tanks.
