Does Warp3d come with new X5000-Enhancer+ purchase?

[slygon]

Nice!

I may give this a try too!

Do you think this could fix my game issue?

If you have a RadeonHD graphics card and want to running games that are limited to needing the old Warp3D, you will need legacy software driver: Warp3D for RadeonHD Southern Islands on AMIStore.  

We are now encouraging games developers and publishers to move forward to new software technology and use Shaders in their game titles.

The AmigaOne X5000 is a modern platform so A-EON has developed Warp3D Nova for use with it, supporting Shaders and more modern technologies such as OpenGL ES 2.0.  

The original Warp3D is very old fixed pipleline technology and is not compatible with the modern methods used in 3D today using Shaders.

Short answer, Yes!

More info...

Do have a warp3D compatible card or Warp3D_SI, if not you must set it to software render?

Yes Gorky 17 works here on my X1000 with Raadeon R9 280 with the Warp3D SI driver but did you try selecting the software renderer in the config program like I suggested?

Huno did a fair few ports that use Warp3D too.

There's a some other software that benefit from like wings Battlefield and I think Wing Remastered will use Warp3D too.  I'd try and give a more complete list but just come back from a round trip to the other side of London and I just want to chill out now.

Don't forget Blender! (uses minigl and warp3d)

Yes, I tried the software render... still no luck.... I don't get anything... it doesn't appear to even try to launch.... I have a few other games... like a couple from Cherry Darling that don't seem to work either... maybe they will benefit from this....  Where other games, like Giana's Return, and Amiga Racer run perfectly.  I do know the Cherry Darling games mention Warp3D... so I will bet that is the problem.... I will give it a try here soon!

As for the graphics card, I have the Radeon R9 270X Toxic Edition.... so it should work.....

I am using a r7 250x. I haven't tested the r9 270x....so

OK,

bought and tested the Warp3D from AmiStore with the Cherry Darling games... They work!  I will reinstall and test Gorky 17 next.

On a completely unrelated, but quick question.... (not worth starting a new thread....). How do you remove startup items on boot?  I want to stop the clock and calendar widgets from starting... they seem to crash the desktop occasionally... and I really don't need them.....

WBStartup Preference.  You can add and delete.

Don't forgot to try the first Warp3D Nova/OpenGL ES 2 game, AmiCraft.

[slygon]

AmiCraft... I will check it out!  I am guessing it is a Minecraft client or clone?

I am definitely making progress on many things... the graphics driver has fixed several of my games!  I did not know that the two Warp3D packages were so different.

Still no luck on Gorky 17 though... it must be something else... maybe in the AmigaOne X5000 version of the OS... or in the Update 1 (which we have...)... I don't know... it just won't even launch.... I can successfully run the configuration tool now... I can pick software, or hardware mode.... neither setting works...... oh well... I will keep playing..

calendar widgets from starting... they seem to crash the desktop occasionally...
-Slygon

you are right, Calendar had a bug when opening his menu. it was fixed yesterday.
sorry for the crash...

[slygon]

Thanks for the update!  I will check it out!  Yes, opening the menu, and sometimes even moving it by hand caused it to freak out and lock up.

I may need to load the update and see how it is now.

-Slygon

[zzd10h]

it was fixed but not released yet

[slygon]

it was fixed but not released yet

No worries.  I turned it off... but if a fix is released, I would certainly give it a try!

Thanks for all of the information!

You maybe should have called it something different than Warp3D Nova. Maybe Nova3D or something. It is easy to confuse it with Warp3D, especially for new users, and including the fact there are probably still more Warp3D demos/apps/games than Warp3D Nova...when you download something it says Warp3D you may think it would work with Warp3D Nova but it won't.

BTW I would be interested to purchase Warp3D drivers for my X1000 but I only have a RadeonHD 6850.  I'm not buying a new gfx card just for that though.

Just my .02 cents.
