Problem Laptop

[MetalOS]

Hello,

I have just installed UltraEngine on my laptop with the vulkan sdk and the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable. When I launch UltraEngine I can create a new project but once I double-click on this new project to launch it in the editor the software completely cuts out and nothing happens.

[Josh]

What GPU do you have?

[MetalOS]

My laptop uses an Intel UHD. But I have a desktop PC where I use an Nvidia GTX 1660TI which I think will be more suitable for using UltraEngine.

[klepto2]

Integrated gfx cards like the Intel UHD are not supported. Those gfx cards have very limited vulkan support.

[MetalOS]

It's a shame for my laptop. In any case on my desktop PC it works really well and the rendering on my Quest2 is great. Here is a test video that I made.

 

 

[MetalOS]

In the future, will UltraEngine work on laptops like Leadwerks?

[Josh]

Ultra will always have higher system requirements than Leadwerks, but most Intel graphics chips are likely to be supported in the future. I know what the issue is but I have to write some fallbacks to accommodate them.

[MetalOS]

Great news, I could work on UltraEngine during my long nights at work.  :-D

[MetalOS]

There is starting to be improvement on my laptop with 0.9.2. Before the interface was not even displayed. It's taking the right path :-D

 

[MetalOS]

I have just tried the beta channel and therefore version 0.9.3 and I encountered this error on my laptop which seems to concern Vulkan. Is there a specific manipulation to be done or is it simply that this version of UltraEngine is not yet compatible with my GPU?

 

 

[Josh]

This extension is required.

[MetalOS]

I don't understand, although I installed the latest version of the Vulkan SDK 1.3.268.0.

[MetalOS]

False joy, after updating my graphics driver I come back to the first error as on version 0.9.2. We'll wait a little longer :-D

[MetalOS]

I just tried the latest version 0.9.5. I managed to open a project created with version 9.0.4 but with many faults. So I deleted this project to create one with version 0.9.5 but the editor crashes when loading this project and its process closes completely.

[Josh]

What GPU is this using? Is this on the integrated graphics?

[MetalOS]

Yes, Intel UHD Graphique. is intégrated graphics.

[MetalOS]

I installed the latest version and when launching Preview.exe it quit directly. When I tried to run it alone it told me that Openvr_api.dll was missing. I installed the dll but it crashes directly when loading a project.

[MetalOS]

 

[Josh]

I think getting integrated graphics to work will take longer and it is not currently supported, although we are a lot closer now than we were before.

[MetalOS]

No worries Josh, I have a desktop PC that allows me to work on Ultra Engine. I hope one day it will be compatible. THANKS.

[MetalOS]

Hi Josh,

I replaced my laptop which ran on an integrated Intel UHD GPU with another model which runs with an i7 processor and a GTX960M. The Ultra Engine editor launches fine but when loading the project file, it crashes completely but without an error message. Is there any special handling to do?

[Josh]

Please upload your project so that we can try it out.

[MetalOS]

This is the blank project generated by Ultra Engine. The first 3D window remains black when the editor loads, maybe it's a rendering problem?

[Josh]

What version of the editor are you using? The version number appears in the title bar.

[MetalOS]

I'm not with my computer, but I activated the beta versions on Steam and I downloaded the latest version offered.
