Please let me explain because I want to be honest:
The last 7 month, I had absolutely no chance to continue to work on Union Bytes Painter and it has multiple reasons.
I have days I even can’t turn on my computer because I have a lot of other stuff to do.
But Union Bytes Painter in its current form, is absolutely useable, I also use it from time to time.
I know there are still a few bugs in it, and I want to fix it and I will work to version 1.0 in the future. But I can’t promise a lot of new features currently.
I recognized, time flies and 24 hours a day are not enough.
So, currently I just can ask for your patience.
Because I got a lot of feedback, that there is a problem on some systems with AMD cards, I tried to investigate on it.
I got a few reports that Union Bytes Painter doesn’t start properly on some AMD cards, after the GODOT logo it just crashes.
First, I tried to give out a debug version with the GODOT internal debug log system, but it didn’t help.
Then I extra bought an AMD Radeon™ RX 7600 for over 300 €, to find out, that it starts without problems with the newest driver. ☹
So, after wasting so much money, I still don’t know what the problem could be.
As long as I can’t reproduce the error it will be hard to fix it.
Maybe I need to write my own log file and debug system.
A user mentioned, that his problem appears only on Windows 10, when he switches on the same system to the Linux version it works. It may be combination from OS, Driver, and some other software or the .Net Framework.
I’m deeply sorry, but currently I don’t know how to solve it.
Thank you all very much.
Kind regards
