Description Bug 2009-09-20 11:26:48 UTC
games that use s3tc (vegastrike, wolfenstein mods, springrts) show corrupt textures, it seems the video memory adresses are read out, but there's not the correct data at that address, so you get ugly tiled unrelated textures in unexpected places.
Comment 1 Bug 2009-09-20 11:28:55 UTC
fyi this all used to work fine on r300

I've gone ahead and disabled compressed texture support as it's not supported yet in the driver.

s3tc has never worked for me using a RV670 with git drivers, it affects all the games I've tried - etqw, quake4 demo, et wolf, ut2004 demo and doom3 demo.

Of course disabling s3tc in .driconf will workaround it apart from quake 4 (refuses to start without s3tc) and etqw (which then hits some other shader errors).

> Of course disabling s3tc in .driconf will workaround 

Oops - I meant .drirc in your home dir, not .driconf - the contents I use to disable s3tc are -

<driconf>
    <device screen="0" driver="r600">
        <application name="Default">
            <option name="force_s3tc_enable" value="false" />
            <option name="disable_s3tc" value="true" />
        </application>
    </device>
</driconf>

This bug is important for WoW to work, as well. WoW will crash immediately if the OpenGL S3TC extensions are not available.
Comment 15 Michal Suchanek 2010-07-23 05:58:35 UTC
I think that Mesa should not advertise s3tc on drivers that don't support uploading compressed textures.

Some programs try to set the flag which forces advertising the s3tc although only upload is supported in the hope they can use precompressed textures. In the case of r600 the feature should not be advertised anyway.

This patch fixes Crystalspace3D for me.
It's a workaround, it only disables the extension completely since it is unsupported on r600 cards.

s3tc is fixed on r600/r600g with the third party Library.

What is "the third party Library"?

I'm trying to get StarCraft II to run on this hardware:

$ glxinfo | egrep -i render\|vendor
direct rendering: Yes

client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI

Look for libtxc_dxtn in your distributions non-free or contrib section. Hopefullly the patent issues will get cleared up & the library will then be merged into mesa proper.
Comment 22 Niels P. 2011-11-29 01:49:39 UTC
libtxc-dxtn http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~mareko/libtxc_dxtn/
Comment 23 Michal Suchanek 2011-11-29 02:18:36 UTC
it cannot be fixed by s3tc.

What r600 does not support should work without any library: uploading textures which are already compressed.
Comment 24 Tobias Jakobi 2011-11-29 07:04:00 UTC
There is no r600 (classic mesa) anymore, only r600g. And r600g doesn't have any problems with s3tc or texture compression in general.
Comment 25 Matt McHenry 2011-11-29 17:01:07 UTC
Awesome -- 'emerge -av media-libs/libtxc_dxtn' got SC2 working for me on gentoo.  Thanks!
