Summary0005334: White rectangle blinks when in-game text appears
DescriptionWhen hints come up in the New Job FM, they start with a fast glimpse of white rectangle.
Rectangle quickly disappears, and the text starts slowly fading in from nonexistance.

Note: messages like "Objective Complete" don't have this problem.
Steps To Reproduce1) Start New Job FM.
2) Come to some place with a hint (better save just before it).
I believe the first such place is when two guards are talking (arrival at streets).

I reproduced it with old backend.
Tried toggling other things like uncapped FPS, SMP, 64-bit color --- does not help.
TagsNo tags attached.

As of 2.09 beta, I can still reproduce it on the new backend.

Perhaps I have poor perception of this but I am not able to see the rectangle?
The text fades in and out as expected.

Yes.
But just before it starts fading in (at the time when it is not visible yet) I see a white rectangle on the screen for a frame.

Try a breakpoint in idImage::Bind

    if ( texnum == TEXTURE_NOT_LOADED ) {
        globalImages->whiteImage->Bind(); // here
        return;
    }

I tried replacing the image with current render, then tried commenting out the "dummy" image bind:

if ( texnum == TEXTURE_NOT_LOADED ) {
        // globalImages->currentRenderImage->Bind();
        return;
    }

In both cases, I had trouble reproducing the issue in the Training Mission.
Where I thought I might have seen it, it was more as if I accidentally triggered the player note.

I didn't see any negative effects from this change.
I presume this is being done to allow "bumpmap" or other shaders to run against materials with no diffuse stage?

By the way, I also could not reproduce it some time ago.
So I guess the issue does not happen all the time.

"image_preload 0" really exacerbates this white image flashing.

In my local testing of all internal images, this was the one that had the least amount of artifacts in that mode:

if ( texnum == TEXTURE_NOT_LOADED ) {
        globalImages->scratchImage2->Bind();
        return;
    }

Any objections to committing this?

Yes, indeed, I have objection: it looks like a hack.
Basically, it looks like hiding the problem rather than fixing it.

Maybe add optional skip for surfaces with textures unloaded. Or force sync load.
Another place this should help with is animated menu background in e.g. Accountant

"Skip" sounds like a good idea to me based on the intended design.

If you post a patch, I will test it locally.

That said, in my own testing I must say that the loading bar completes quickly but afterwards you are hung on a black screen
for almost as long as the image_preload 1 mode "loading screen" before the "click to start" GUI appears.

For me (at least) "image_preload 0" has the effect of:

1) Rapid loading bar
2) Clunky black screen on screen a looong time (very little load time improvement)
3) Click to Start finally appears and is sluggish
4) Sometimes the models load with a strange flat placeholder texture for a second or 2 before rendering properly
5) Temporary freezes when moving to new portal-ed areas

Compared to "image_preload 1" :

1) Slower loading bar
2) Quickly transitions to "Click to Start" when done
3) Smooth gameplay when done (no freeze events when going to different areas)

Not sure how this varies from driver versions, OS'es, etc.

Maybe it helps those without an SSD?

I could do something in that direction, but who would it benefit?
The default value is 1 so that's good for general audience
People need to know why they want to set it to 0, like me for example. My system loads maps fairly quick, and provided the assets files are cached by the system, the on-the-fly loading is actually fast for me as well, compared to 1+years ago. Not sure what changed, maybe the new backend makes things much easier for the driver, but the dynamic load hiccups feel quite minor.
I think the big improvement will come with the normal map assets switch to RGTC2, so that the JPG's won't need to convert to TC every time.
That only leaves the GUI flickering issue.

I am not able to replicate the bug in this tracker so the closest I can get is with image_preload disabled.

I suspect that stgatilov wants to identify why the GUI code sometimes throws an undefined texture up briefly before showing
a message so the "true fix" for that would be to force the texture to load prior to any GUI pop-up or at least ensure the timing is right.

Since there is overlap in these behaviors and the code they use, the presumption is that fixing the flicker in image_preload 0
would also fix the rare cases of undefined texture popping.

It is quite likely that one frame of flicker is inevitable with SMP enabled if GUI uses non-preloaded texture.
Perhaps the issue with "image_preload 0" white flashing will go away if you set "com_smp 0" too.

Anyway, I'm more worried about the "image_preload 1" case.
Maybe this texture is not preloaded because it is dynamically generated from text?
I have no idea how text is rendered... but shouldn't there be a font (which is preloaded), and all the text messages be composed from its letters?

As for scratch2 image fix.
Ideally, we need an invisible texture to mask the problem.
The name of "scratch2" does not sound like this texture is invisible.
It is more like "it contains whatever was left there from the previous user, whoever it was"...
If there is no builtin invisible texture, maybe we can add one and use it instead.

First of all, let's ignore image_preload 0. This is a developer feature more than anything, and if you enable it, you implicitly accept that images are not immediately available and may show a placeholder first.

With preload, I don't think I've seen this particular bug. I think hiding it with an invisble placeholder texture is the wrong idea - it sounds wrong that it would ever have to fall back to a placeholder in the first place, and we should find the reason for that and fix it. And having a visible placeholder is good specifically for spotting these kinds of bugs, so I'd rather not change that.

I agree that it would be better to have a proper fix but I feel that such a fix is of very low benefit compared to the effort to
find it? For example, do we suspect that this texture flicker is regularly wasting resources or posing stability issues with image updates?

I was starting to investigate stgatilov's approach and look into modifying a clone of the "alpha notch" image program to create an alpha image
that is fully transparent.

Given the rarity or difficulty replicating, is this really a 2.09 blocker?

Can we un-version this or re-target to 2.10?

Does anyone want this issue assigned to themselves?

This is not a blocker for 2.09.
It shows up in very specific circumstances, and I even cannot reproduce it all the time.

@nbohr1more
I tested New Job and I'm still not sure what you mean here
Is it e.g. the hint 'Find some stuff to stack the crate on'?
It does not seem to invoke background texture loads to me with image_preload 1
Which is why I asked to set the breakpoint and see if it's even the relevant code for you
FWIW I can't repeat the white rectangle as well, so I wonder if it's the same hint we're talking about?

EDIT. You might want to try svn rev 9076

GUI Flickering is cured in image_preload zero mode!

Mark as fixed?

I only care about "image_preload 1" mode.
But since I cannot reproduce the issue myself now, so it would be OK to resolve it.
