RV ERROR "shader? bad tokens?"

MWARD · November 18, 2022, 4:37am

Hey all,
Several of my animators (randomly) are getting the following error when opening up RV now:

ERROR: 0:3: ‘#version’ : must occur first in shader
ERROR: 0:3: ‘#version’ : bad profile name; use es, core, or compatibility
ERROR: 0:3: ‘#version’ : bad tokens following profile – expected newline
ERROR: 0:3: ‘’ : missing #endif
ERROR: 0:3: ‘’ : compilation terminated
ERROR: 5 compilation errors. No code generated.
ERROR: 0:3: ‘#version’ : must occur first in shader

ERROR: 0:3: ‘#version’ : bad tokens following profile – expected newline
ERROR: 0:3: ‘’ : missing #endif
ERROR: 0:3: ‘’ : compilation terminated
ERROR: 5 compilation errors. No code generated.

This then repeats several times until dumping out this:

Anyone know why this error is popping up for SOME of our animators and not all? Or better yet - how do we fix this error?

Thanks!

Anyone?

lennyfoulds · January 18, 2023, 10:08pm

Hey did you ever figure out the fix for this issue or what the actual problem is?

geffrak · January 18, 2023, 10:11pm

Hi @MWARD and @lennyfoulds,

I would try to update the GPU Drivers. It looks like RV can’t compile the shaders.

lennyfoulds · January 19, 2023, 12:34am

hey geffrak, I reinstalled my GPU drivers and then reinstalled a couple different versions of RV and still get the same error. Any other ideas? I’m on Windows 10 if that helps.

MWARD · January 23, 2023, 4:49pm

No fix over here! Still an issue.

Michael.Kessler · January 23, 2023, 9:45pm

can you run RV from a console and use -debug shader and when it produces that error output, can you provide the output near that?

That should help diagnose what sort of shader was generated.

Also, what GPU do these machines have?

I have an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT as a GPU and here is the output:

Okay, looks like there’s no output from a shader, likely because one is never generated and the code for the shader it is trying to compile is empty. Shaders are usually compiled to describe the node graph so that the image can be composited on your GPU.

Is it reasonable to assume you have no custom GLSL nodes in your install? Does this happen on startup, randomly, on every frame, etc?

One of our layout artist is getting this error message on each startup:

Ping. Any ideas or suggestions from Autodesk shotgrid RV support?

brianm · February 9, 2023, 9:41pm

It seems like the external GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT, was causing the issue(very slow playback and error messages). When it was unplugged, RV worked correctly.

youngjinpictures · June 19, 2023, 5:34pm

I am having the same issue here. Just switched to AMD RX6600 and its giving me this error. Help!

heying · October 2, 2023, 4:49am

Same here. Is this solved?
