1. Did you make any changes to the engine?
2. If you scroll up in the console when compiling, are there any other shader errors listed? (syntax errors maybe?)
Viewing post in Fatal error with a vertex shader?
I did a fresh download just to be safe and still the same error message. and yes i found some "invalid shaders" in the game's output console.
Invalid shader (is it marked as incompatible type for this target?) "shd_haven_final":
Invalid shader (is it marked as incompatible type for this target?) "shd_daynight":
Invalid shader (is it marked as incompatible type for this target?) "shd_dust_cloud":
Invalid shader (is it marked as incompatible type for this target?) "shd_fade":
Invalid shader (is it marked as incompatible type for this target?) "shd_lava":
Invalid shader (is it marked as incompatible type for this target?) "shd_palette":
Invalid shader (is it marked as incompatible type for this target?) "shd_palette_rgb":
Invalid shader (is it marked as incompatible type for this target?) "shd_palette_simple":
Invalid shader (is it marked as incompatible type for this target?) "shd_palette_simple_rgb":
Invalid shader (is it marked as incompatible type for this target?) "shd_voronoi":
Invalid shader (is it marked as incompatible type for this target?) "shd_win_screen_text":
there is nothing explicitly related to shaders in the syntax that i can make heads or tails of. Is there anything that could be done about this?
Yes, A fairly fresh install of Windows 10 to be precise. I read somewhere on the GM forums that someone was able to fix a similar issue by downloading x86 C++ to there computer. I'm a total coding noob so I couldn't tell you the significance of that. Should I give that a try and reinstall GM2 or are there other options available?
It worked!! I just want to give a personal thank you for making this engine and documenting everything about it on GitHub (not to mention all the comments on every script.) . Really makes it easy and accessible for noobs like me to wrap my head around such an advanced engine. Can't wait to get started! (After I learn my eventing principles that is lol.)
