Voxel models have a flattened appearance

Forum rules
Contrary to popular belief, we are not all-knowing-all-seeing magical beings!

If you want help you're going to have to provide lots of info. Like what is your hardware, what is your operating system, what version of GZDoom/LZDoom/whatever you're using, what mods you're loading, how you're loading it, what you've already tried for fixing the problem, and anything else that is even remotely relevant to the problem.

We can't magically figure out what it is if you're going to be vague, and if we feel like you're just wasting our time with guessing games we will act like that's what you're really doing and won't help you.

Yes! Finally, everything began to work as it should. I had to downgrade to version 21.3.1 to make everything display as it should.
It turned out that all this time I had installers of old versions, up to 19.2.3))

Thank you all very much.

Had to deal with a lot of this for ElderJam.

If using Vulkan on your AMD graphics isn't possible for whatever reason, another alternative is to downgrade your drivers to 21.5.2. This has been confirmed to solve all 3D issues.

Strange. My Vulkan on my AMD works just fine. Your's is crashing in the AMD Vulkan driver interface, itself.

Please uninstall your drivers, and do a clean reinstall.

If that doesn't fix it, please check AMD's archives and download the driver last released from May of this year. That is the last known good working OpenGL driver.

Actually - here's a link: https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/relea ... win-21-5-2
Look for where it says on the page "The Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 21.5.2 installation package can be downloaded from the following links:"

I have run GZDoom before and it gives me this error:

Code: C0000005 (Access Violation - tried to read address 00000000000001C0)

You already *HAVE* a Vulkan-capable device. You just have to enable Vulkan in GZDoom.

While in-game hit Esc, go to Options ->


then go to Set Video Mode ->


then go to Preferred Rendering API (at the very top) ->


Press the right arrow key until that says "Vulkan" - then exit out and restart GZDoom (has to be restarted completely).

You now have Vulkan enabled and the voxels should render correctly.

According to AMD.com the driver supports The Vulkan® API.
According to this website it is Vulkan 1.2.

When you start GZDoom with the startup menu
Spoiler:
select the game IWAD and Vulkan for the Video Setting.
Or, if you do not see the startup menu, go into the ini file and set

queryiwad=true
queryiwad_key=shift

then restart GZDoom.

And if you set GZDoom to generate a logfile then you would see something like this in a text editor
Spoiler:
In your case, of course, the AMD RX580 for the Vulkan Device.
Thank you, now I know what I need... a full-fledged PC with a powerful video card))

That indeed sounds like a driver bug. Nothing unusual for AMD on OpenGL. I'd recommend using Vulkan anyway on AMD if the hardware supports it as its performance is significantly better.
How does it fare with non-voxel models? They use the same method for rendering.

I too am getting this problem with GZDoom, LZDoom, and Raze using OpenGL. Vulkan and Software are fine. It even happens with regular 3D models.

I think AMD's latest drivers screwed something up with OpenGL again. However it doesn't happen in other OpenGL games I've tried.

I'm using an AMD RX 580 in my system.

Answer: This happens in both LZDoom and GZDoom.

Also, is this mod specific?
Answer: This mod is no exception. In ANY mod where there are voxel models, these very models begin to behave inappropriately. The interesting thing is that when I run the mod with the voxel models enabled in Software mode, they acquire a normal appearance.

Last but not least: Are your graphics drivers up to date?
Answer: All drivers are updated to the latest version.
