Intel HD 4000 Crashing

Hey guys,

Looks like people are consistently having trouble with Intel HD 4000 cards in 3089:

… seems to just crash without any errors. Anyone have any ideas what might be unique about this card that makes it harder to support…? All my shaders are written for GLSL100… does anyone here have an Intel HD 4000 card they do jMonkeyEngine3 development with?

I guess you don’t get any logs in these cases? Are you running standard JME shaders?

Note: my understanding is that there is no such thing as GLSL100… this is a non version since the first official GLSL was 1.1, so GLSL110. GLSL100 tells JME not to include a #version statement in the file so it falls on whatever default compatibility the card uses.

I’ve taken to setting all of my shaders to GLSL110 because then I at least get proper error checking on nvidia cards. I don’t know if it’s a good practice or not and if you are just using stock JME shaders then I guess it’s a lot of trouble to switch just for that.

Some of Mythruna users have been able to run on some intel cards (slowly) but I don’t know if it was an HD 4000. One user reported:
Display adapter information:
Adapter:igdumdx32
Driver Version:8.15.10.2622
Vendor:Intel
Version:2.1.0 - Build 8.15.10.2622
Renderer:Intel® HD Graphics
GLSL Ver:1.20 - Intel Build 8.15.10.2622

Another reported:
Display adapter information:
Adapter:igdumd64
Driver Version:8.15.10.1892
Vendor:Intel
Version:2.1.0 - Build 8.15.10.1892
Renderer:Mobile Intel® 4 Series Express Chipset Family
GLSL Ver:1.20 - Intel Build 8.15.10.1892

Both of which worked at that time with a lot of lag… but this is with a two year old version of the game, too.

My wife’s computer has an intel HD 4000, I’ll try some JME examples and see if I have some error…I guess she won’t like it though :stuck_out_tongue:

You tell her who is the boss!!! (Her of course… and then you ask really nicely.)

“What!!! you’re doing you JME crap on MY computer”
“No no honey I promise I was watching porn…”
