Toribash 3.23 - Shaders problems and solutions
Hi all,

A new release of Toribash: 3.23 is available.
Toribash should automatically update itself to this version soon.
(It cannot be downloaded from the website yet)

This version features better compatibility for graphics cards.

Try setting Fluid Blood, Reflections, Soft shadows and shaders to 1.
Toribash will detect if you cannot support one of the extra features, and will use a lower level of graphics to match your card.
You should only disable these options if you want to increase game performance.

Your graphics card can't run with shaders on ?

The following cards should be able to run Toribash with shaders on:

Intel 915 and above
nVidia Geforce 6 series and above
ATI Radeon X series (X300 onwards) and above

If you have one of these cards (or better) and it fails to run with shaders on,
make sure you have the latest drivers for your graphics card (can be downloaded from the card manufacturer's website)


if it still fails to run shaders:
Help us help you by posting here your computer details and graphics card, and also the contents of our error report.
Also see below common messages that can appear in the error report.

To check what graphics card and operating system you have:

Windows: Go to start, then the Run command, enter dxdiag

OSX: Click the apple icon, go to "About This Mac" and click more Info. You should see your graphics card under hardware->Graphics/Displays

To see the contents of our error report file:

Windows: The file stderr.txt, which is in the folder you installed Toribash to, can help us know what the problem is.

OSX: Start the application called 'Console' before starting Toribash and then set the shaders to 1. The console should now have errors messages about the shaders, which can help us know what the problem is.

Common Error messages in the error report:
'GL_EXT_framebuffer_object not supported' or 'No shader extension found':
Your graphics card can't run shaders. (Make sure you have the latest drivers)

'Unable to support shaders at all. You might want to try updating your graphics driver if you have not done so':
Your graphics card should run shaders. Please send your graphics card model and operating system details to support AT toribash.com .

Toribash freezes ?
Please let it run for a bit. in some cases switching to shaders after the game started causes it to freeze for a bit.

Toribash crashes ?
Please check the error report (see above on how to see it)

If it contains the message 'SDL parachute deployed' , please make sure you have the latest version of the drivers for your graphics card. (Can be downloaded from the manufacturer's website)

Post here the details of your computer and the contents of the error report. This can help us know what the problem is.
