Out of VRAM freeze

[_mental_]

You need to enable break on all C++ exceptions in order to stop at the problem’s location.
While issues with shutdown can be annoying, they don’t explain the cause of the exception.

I pushed a commit that should remove the errors pasted. With some luck that should allow the fatal error message to display now.

[Major Cooke]

Thanks mental. I got the exception to throw so I could get a callstack. Unfortunately, the game still freezes instead of fatal erroring. I wonder if it's because the debugger's still running?

[Major Cooke]

Turns out it doesn't matter, it still just freezes. Debugger on or not.

[_mental_]

What’s the value of result?

[Major Cooke]

VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST (-4)

[Major Cooke]

Anything else I can try to help out, short of recreating it in ZScript?

I don't know if it's of much help but I'm on a laptop with a built-in Intel graphics card and Nvidia too.

[_mental_]

Most likely, lost device is only a consequence of an earlier issue.
Does this happen with both GPUs? Will something change if you enable texture upscaling 4x or higher?
There is vulkaninfo tool installed with the SDK. Could you please post its output?

[Major Cooke]

I'll try it on my intel but chances are it can't run vulkan.

Is vulkaninfo different from what I posted here? If so, how do I use it? I'll need instructions.

[_mental_]

No, it was about this tool installed with Vulkan SDK. It outputs comprehensive information about available GPUs.

[Major Cooke]

Alright, I tested with my intel graphics card. Surprisingly it supports it, even if it's a clunky one at first but then it gradually smooths out after a time. Hasn't crashed yet.
So, it appears to be NVidia specific. dpJudas is indeed correct, NVidia's doing something wrong.

Also, I don't have resize mode on currently. I keep settings as low as possible but I'll try using them next on the nvidia setting to see if it happens more quickly.

Attached is my vulkan info.

[Major Cooke]

Okay, it crashes... seemingly faster? With the scale multiplier set up.

[_mental_]

Was it the same freeze with upscaled textures? The idea is figure out a relation to out of VRAM case.

[Major Cooke]

Yes. Same freeze, same error.

[_mental_]

If it was out of VRAM case, the bug should happen much faster with 6x scale. Did you get out of device memory error at least once? With 6x scale and lots of sprites VRAM can be exhausted pretty quickly.
