Mumble Effs up Star Wars The Old Republic

[hydrosphere3]

If I log in mumble then go to my game I get a blank server select. I have to log into ToR first, then mumble. I am using windows 8 and the mumble 1.2.4 beta.

Which direct3d version does it use, if you know/can check?

Has this been like that for some time?

After 1.2.3?

After a game update?

[hydrosphere3]

Dunno the answer to the first one. But I do know mumble and it's overlay work perfectly fine on my older machine with win7 installed.

Do you use a recent 1.2.4 beta, or the first one?

[hydrosphere3]

I am using the recent beta client.

[kissaki]

Could you elaborate on “blank server select”?

[hydrosphere3]

Means when I get to the game's server select screen. Instead of taking me to my character's server it's blank and I can't access any of the servers. This only happens when mumble is loaded before the old republic.

[kissaki]

When you get to the server selection? Or after Server selection, when you should be taken to the character selection?

Does the entire screen go black?

Just parts?

Maybe you have a screenshot?

Personally, I don’t have Win8 nor SWtoR, so I can’t check it myself.

Maybe you could also launch DebugView and see / post what is being logged.

I'll take a screenshot here in a bit. This seems to be a recent occurrence with mumble users with swtor after checking the game's forums. Also every time I log in on the 1.2.4 beta client there seems to be a update. Is this normal? Where can I check mumble's patch/update notes as sourceforge doesn't seem to let me view the bugs even when signed in.

The first screenshot is with ToR loaded first then mumble loaded afterward. As you can see I can access my toons normally.

I couldn't capture the blank server select but basically it's this just blank

I've also noticed on my machine with windows8 I can't get the overlay to work period. However if I play the same game on my other machine with Win7 installed I not only get the overlay to work, but don't run into any issues with SWTOR. So it seems something with windows 8 is messing up the overlay or something.

So, just looking at the screenshots it seems plausible that it switches from a 2D to a 3D rendering there.

The regular updates are normal, as the beta is a labeled Snapshot build - like the Snapshots we provide for download on the page.

They are compiled automatically from whatever the current code-base provides - hence, after changes to the code-base quite often an update is provided.

You can check the code-base log (commit log) at github https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble/commits/master

As for the bug- and feature-request-tracker, you should be able to see them even if not registered or logged in.

 

I've also noticed on my machine with windows8 I can't get the overlay to work period.

You mean with any games at all?

Those (of us) that tried / use Win8 do not currently have any problems.

Yeah can't get the overlay to work at all. Other game I tried was Planetside 2. This has given me a sad as I loved that overlay.

Did you consider using DebugView to get us some debug output?

[hydrosphere34]

where is this located?

Where do I upload the logs at? Got a extension log is not allowed.

You can use a paste-bin as well, to paste / host the text.

Here you go. The first log is with mumble loaded first then the old republic. The second is with ToR loaded first then mumble.

Thank you.

This *may* help. But may also take some time to fix, if it is a valid issue with Mumbles overlay code (someone will have to do it, and have a reproduce-able test-case).

What I’m thinking about here is

00000042 11.17707253 [8892] M:HardHook: Unknown opcode at 0: 4d 5a 90 0 3 0 0 0 4 0 0 0

[hydrosphere34]

Fair enough man. Thanks for the help and hopefully a fix will arrive sometime. Really loved that overlay, lol. Enjoy your weekend mate.

So today the current beta snapshot fixed my login issues with ToR. I am now able to login mumble first, then ToR. But still can't get the mumble overlay to work. Will upload a new debug tomorrow. Well that was short lived.
