02:02 kilbith FPS is surprisingly low on Win 11: https://i.imgur.com/z05T5Ix.png
02:02 kilbith this is running at 60 FPS on Linux with the same settings
02:02 kilbith I don't remember it was so low before on Win 11
02:02 kilbith looks like a regression

13:58 kilbith man that elhermann is fo fucking energy-draining...
13:58 kilbith what's up with the germans arguing over and over
13:59 nrz win11 has many regression, like NVMe if used as system disk, they are 10 timers slower than expected
13:59 nrz win11 beta released ?
14:00 kilbith what the hell are you talking about
14:00 kilbith win11 is not beta for one
14:00 nrz i answer to your win11 perf ici
14:00 nrz issue
14:01 kilbith and it's actually more optimized than win10; I use it daily
14:01 nrz win11 is just not polished, they are many performance regression after upgrade for many users
14:01 nrz i'm using arch daily no upgrade issue since 12 years :
14:01 kilbith do you use it on daily basis with recent builds?
14:01 nrz https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/q2hog8/windows_11_users_suffering_from_performance/
14:02 nrz archlinux ? yeah i use it daily since 12 years
14:02 nrz windows ? no i don't use that shit for noobs
14:02 kilbith 2 months ago it was still beta
14:03 kilbith typical non sequitur from nrz
14:03 sfan5 it might not be in beta but performance issues were in the news for sure ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
14:04 MTDiscord <Sublayer plank> ever since windows 10 released and start rolling out feature updates for it they've realized they can ship unfinished untested garbage onto their users with little to no repercussions
14:04 MTDiscord <Sublayer plank> because eh, they can always fix it sometime later right?
14:05 kilbith btw, all my Steam library actually run better on Win11 than Linux
14:05 MTDiscord <savilli> I would expect nerzhul to use FreeBSD XD
14:06 kilbith it's just than MT/irr is not optimized for Windows because devs don't dog-food on it
14:07 kilbith *that
14:07 nrz savilli, you are young minetest contributor ? do you know i ported MT to FreeBSD ports and i have 2 freebsd boxes at home ? ?
14:07 MTDiscord <savilli> I can guess that
14:08 MTDiscord <savilli> But you don't use FreeBSD as a main os?
14:08 MTDiscord <savilli> That's a crime
14:08 MTDiscord <Sublayer plank> kilbith: well apologies that nobody wants to have to deal with windows beyond the bare minimum
14:09 sfan5 windows is pretty okay, try using macOS
14:09 kilbith linux desktop just doesn't cut it on modern hardware
14:09 kilbith bad scaling, kernel crashes, lack of polishes
14:09 kilbith -es
14:10 kilbith and I lose -10 FPS on Factorio, Portal 2, etc.
14:11 nrz strange i run my linux 12h at least per day since 12 years without having any crash
14:11 nrz and i run cyberpunk 2077 in ultra mode at 100 fps
14:11 nrz and i run cyberpunk 2077 in ultra mode at 100 fps on steam + proton + dxvk
14:11 kilbith you'd get 150 FPS on windows
14:11 nrz i don't care about the 50 missing
14:11 nrz it's just dick
14:12 nrz 120 is sufficient, more is just energy consumption and doesn't offer more comfort ?
14:12 nrz anyway let's return back to MT: sfan5 i merged 2 PR
14:13 sfan5 sure thx
14:13 sfan5 there's a few issues that need fixes for 5.5 but none of them are simple
14:15 nrz i miss time to develop in C++ since too long time
14:15 nrz and i don't know how we can fix our code without rewriting major parts. Many parts are just card castles ?
14:16 sfan5 (#11437 and #11775)
14:16 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/11437 -- `3d_mode` is broken
14:16 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/11775 -- New handling of direction key bits is not fully backwards-compatible
14:18 kilbith joined #minetest-dev
14:19 kilbith https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&amp;item=alderlake-windows-linux&amp;num=9
14:19 kilbith ouch linux
14:19 kilbith btw hecks uses windows too
14:19 kilbith john carmack too
14:19 nrz arf i don't have 3d rendering thing and i don't have joystick
14:19 kilbith that's for a reason
14:19 nrz kilbith stop that i don't care i'm not a sheep
14:20 nrz i think we have sufficient OS nowadays to make everyone happy, you want to run on NetBSD or on Windws 98, it's your problem not mine
14:20 MTDiscord <Jonathon> windows 11 only really works best on latest intel processors because thats all they cared about in dev, everything it ends up sucking on in one shape or another
14:20 nrz windows performs well until you put a fucking antivirus which is mandatory on an os with so many holes
14:20 kilbith wrong
14:21 kilbith there's no need for that on win10/11
14:21 nrz and yeah it's just a benchmark on interl, like anybenchmark the conditions are not the whole cases
14:21 kilbith and you are brainwashed
14:21 nrz you have windows defender
14:22 nrz honestly i don't care about you anymore kilbith, the older you are the stupider you are.
14:22 MTDiscord <Jonathon> have to agree with kilbith, win 10, 11, no need for antivirus for most users
14:22 nrz we are talking about how to release MT 5.5 here
14:22 MTDiscord <Jonathon> previous versions you did need one
14:22 nrz yeah no A/V it's why many people are cryptolocked by noobs.
14:22 kilbith and your english still didn't improve in 7 years
14:22 kilbith tells a lot about your IQ
14:23 MTDiscord <Jonathon> anyways, regarding 5.5, and windows, https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/11832#issuecomment-994316196 this issue is very annoying to windows users and would be nice to see it resolved for 5.5
14:23 nrz at least i don't need to rage like a kid on a channel because no-one cares about my PR because i want like a baby to be managed instanly
14:23 sfan5 this conversation doesn't seem very productive
14:24 nrz sfan5 i agree, i just wanted to  talk a bout 5.5 before being interrupted for stupid debates
14:24 nrz is anyone we know be able to look for joystick (with some hardware) or 3d mode ? what happen if we revert the commits ?
14:26 sfan5 3d_mode is caused by the switch to irrlicht 1.9, can't be reverted
14:26 sfan5 the joystick change could be reverted but that is definitely not necessary
14:27 sfan5 @Jonathon can you post the entire debug.txt for a session where this happens?
14:28 nrz just to be sure, it's the first or the second release we do with our shiny new irrlicht ?
14:28 nrz maybe more, i can be late ?
14:29 sfan5 would be the first
14:29 sfan5 @Jonathon nvm I might not need that after all but if you have it please keep it ready
14:35 Calinou joined #minetest-dev
14:36 nrz such big step
14:39 MTDiscord <Jonathon> Sfan5 ok
14:39 sfan5 pushing http://sprunge.us/YQBYkv?diff in 7m
14:42 nrz wow, this is a bit tricky, it shows a strange design in our API, how a valid object can be empty like this whereas it's a ref for something existing ?
14:56 sfan5 @Jonathon okay yes, debug.txt please

17:35 erlehmann Krock nrz rubenwardy sofar anyone of you interested in talking about minetest.find_nodes_in_area() with me? in particular about https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/11858 … maybe? it is a very simple fix.
17:35 erlehmann i promise to find a new crash in response!
17:35 erlehmann (give me a few minutes, i have an idea)
17:55 nrz please be concise and propose a patch ? ?
17:58 erlehmann nrz https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/11858 is the patch
17:58 erlehmann nrz oh sorry, wrong page. here: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/11858/files
18:01 erlehmann nrz the summary is: the patch fixes the situation where a node can exist in the map but not be found by minetest.find_nodes_in_area()
18:02 erlehmann (which affects basically every use of minetest.find_nodes_in_area() that can happen near the map border)
18:03 erlehmann nrz, so are you interested?
18:17 MTDiscord <Jonathon> sfan5: https://pastebin.com/dT0wFix3
18:18 MTDiscord <Jonathon> debug you requested
18:18 tekakutli joined #minetest-dev
18:19 sfan5 by "entire debug.txt" I meant the entire log, or did this happen the first time after opening the main menu?
18:19 MTDiscord <Jonathon> no, ill delete it and replicate it, have a little bit of time now, else tonight
18:20 MTDiscord <Jonathon> should i crank log level to verbose?
18:21 nrz erlehmann: i think it's not the good solution because it's a wide macro, and it will permit OOB in some code parts
18:23 MTDiscord <Jonathon> oh nice, just opened and got it to do it with verbose
18:24 sfan5 first try?
18:24 MTDiscord <Jonathon> yeah, typically doesnt happen on first try
18:25 MTDiscord <Jonathon> https://pastebin.com/5fuSiWDv burns in 10 minutes
18:27 appguru joined #minetest-dev
18:27 MTDiscord <Jonathon> anything else you need for me? else ill be around in 4-5 ish hours
18:27 erlehmann nrz where is the OOB here? have i missed something?
18:27 nrz you extended the CLAMP range if i'm correct, it means you include more nodes by side effect in many clamp calls
18:27 nrz that can have side effects
18:28 erlehmann yes that is intended actually
18:28 erlehmann since nodes can exist outside of MAX_MAP_GENERATION_LIMIT (obviously)
18:30 erlehmann nrz what exactly do you want me to change about the patch so you will support it?
18:30 nrz if you want to avoid a problem in get_node_in_radius, fix the call inside it, can you give me the crash you fixed ?
18:31 MTDiscord <Jonathon> anyways, afk for a while
18:32 erlehmann nrz, sfan5 fixed the crash, but used the wrong boundary here: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/11770 the bug was https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/11769
18:33 erlehmann nrz this lead to this bug (but really, it does not matter if the nodes are visible) https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/11828
18:34 erlehmann basically, minetest got a new buggy area between 31000 and 32767 and i want to eliminate it to avoid more bugs
18:35 erlehmann oh yeah and it also breaks lua mapgen at world borders, which was kinda obvious at the time the change was introduced
18:36 erlehmann (only if that lua mapgen uses minetest.find_nodes_in_area() and something bad happens if it can not find stuff)
18:36 sfan5 so do lua mapgens generate further than ~30920?
18:36 kilbith joined #minetest-dev
18:37 sfan5 I guess that's up to them but not sure since singlenode is also involved
18:38 v-rob joined #minetest-dev
18:38 erlehmann sfan5 yeah, of course? basically everything generates past 30920.
18:40 calcul0n joined #minetest-dev
18:41 sfan5 I just started up a world with a Lua mapgen that fully replaces the engine one and it does not generate past 30920, what could this mean?
18:41 sfan5 are you lying or just overconfident?
18:42 sfan5 (30927 to be exact)
18:48 sfan5 just to be sure I checked using minetestmapper and there's really nothing there
18:53 sfan5 tested mapgen with chunksize = 1 too, doesn't go any further
18:55 erlehmann sfan5 the problem is that you can emerge those areas, which is what more complex mapgens tend to do
18:56 erlehmann i mean, the problem is that you can emerge the areas and then not find the stuff you placed in it
18:56 erlehmann breaking emerge would not help here
18:56 erlehmann sfan5 with chunksize=1 i can get to x=30992, you can not?
18:57 erlehmann you may need to create a new world with that chunksize setting
18:57 sfan5 ah yes, I checked the wrong file
18:58 erlehmann regarding emerge, structure placing code does that
18:58 erlehmann so imagine placing a structure near the boundaries
18:59 sfan5 yep, chunksize=1 actually goes up to 30991
18:59 erlehmann now you can use worldedit to put nodes out there i believe
19:00 erlehmann or rip nodes out of there
19:00 erlehmann parts of worldedit probably use minetest.find_nodes_in_area() though, which is … unfortunate
19:01 erlehmann in my experiments at the mapborder i have sometimes created situation where visiting a chunk would crash the server. if a griefer can arrange that, that would be awful.
19:02 kilbith joined #minetest-dev
19:03 Taoki joined #minetest-dev
19:04 sfan5 so if you have a game that places nodes beyond the limit where mapgen is supposed to end, whose fault is that again?
19:04 erlehmann minetests fault
19:05 sfan5 for allowing the game to place nodes there, right?
19:05 erlehmann no, for having allowed it for a long time, then changing behaviour, breaking tons of stuff
19:06 sfan5 I do not consider "must be able to place nodes beyond 31000" part of Minetest's compatibility promise
19:07 MTDiscord <Jonathon> There are issues for pushing stuff over mapgen border
19:08 MTDiscord <Jonathon> Typically abused with pistons to hide things
19:08 erlehmann that is the visible border
19:11 erlehmann sfan5 you can of course dig in your heels and say your faulty bugfix is totally cool but that will not make the map border less buggy. we both know that a map block is 16 nodes wide. and we both know you can access the invisible outer shell mapblock in vanilla minetest. so if you get up to x=30991 you must know that there is *at least* another area out there.
19:12 erlehmann and 30991 + 16 is definitely over 31000.
19:12 erlehmann people who crash servers do not particularly care about minetest's compatibility promise lol
19:13 kilbith_ joined #minetest-dev
19:13 erlehmann and people who hide lag machines also do not care.
19:14 sfan5 erlehmann: raising the mapgen limit so it matches a full mapblock (31007) is a very good idea and should be done
19:14 sfan5 but somehow I suspect you won't be happy with that
19:14 erlehmann sfan5 it would definitely help in the short term.
19:15 kilbith joined #minetest-dev
19:16 erlehmann in particular, i would appreciate if mapgen limit was always snapped to full mapblocks
19:18 erlehmann sfan5 i believe making the mapgen limit match a full mapblock will eliminate an entire category of bugs, because suddenly all those functions do not stop working in the middle of easily accessible areas.
19:19 sfan5 I agree
19:20 erlehmann i it might also make it more obvious why it is a bad idea to have mapgen and functions stop working at the same boundary, but i do not want to demotivate you.
19:20 erlehmann it is a step in the right direction (less bugs) after all
19:21 MTDiscord <josiah_wi> The mood here is very tense.
19:21 nrz is it possible that we stop the mapgen & boudaries check verifying we finish on a mapblock end ?
19:25 erlehmann it is inadvisable to do so
19:26 erlehmann or maybe i misunderstand you
19:33 erlehmann nrz traditionally, the map generation limit works like this: minetest generates mapblocks up until MAX_MAP_GENERATION_LIMIT and the area beyond that contains at least one mapblock that is (normally) invisible to the client, i.e. gets never loaded, but is obviously there on the server.
19:34 erlehmann this has been carefully engineered so that mods that account for unloaded areas get sane behaviour at the map border „for free“

20:10 calcul0n joined #minetest-dev
20:28 kilbith alright so
20:28 kilbith https://i.imgur.com/9XLD1oC.png
20:28 kilbith there's something terribly wrong there
20:29 kilbith drawtime of 2 ms. is not 40 FPS normally, so I assume it's capped
20:29 proller joined #minetest-dev
20:29 kilbith but why/where is it capped, I have nfi
20:29 erlehmann kilbith, what's wrong with 40fps?
20:30 erlehmann is it too low?
20:31 kilbith are you seriously thinking that an Intel Iris Xe graphics cannot handle MT at 60 FPS? hell no
20:31 MTDiscord <Sublayer plank> is this on a laptop?
20:31 kilbith I can run GTA 5 on 40 FPS with medium settings with that
20:31 kilbith yes, Dell XPS with Intel i5 11th gen
20:32 kilbith the very latest Dell XPS
20:32 kilbith 60 FPS equates to 16 ms. of drawtime
20:32 kilbith and I have 2 ms.
20:34 kilbith with dynamic shadows I get 4 ms. but the FPS is still capped at 40+ FPS
20:35 erlehmann kilbith i had literally no idea what hardware you have
20:36 Calinou check CPU and GPU usage, make sure either of them is not 100% used on a single core
20:37 Calinou also, remember that laptops are heavily throttled on battery by default
20:37 sfan5 also check if the driver has a settings panel and test if older MT versions are also affected
20:37 Calinou this throttling can _mostly_ be disabled in the OS' power management settings, but it will cost you a lot of battery life (even when not gaming on battery)
20:37 kilbith it's def not a hardware issue, otherwise the drawtime wouldn't be so low
20:37 kilbith it is a software issue
20:38 kilbith no matter if dynamic shadows are enabled or not, or if the draw distance is reduced to 20, it's capped at 40 FPS
20:38 rubenwardy Dell XPS has a thermal throttling problem, you'd be able to tell though
20:38 rubenwardy 2ms drawtime is odd
20:38 rubenwardy (I have a Dell XPS 13 (9370) from 2018)
20:39 kilbith I have the 9305
20:39 MTDiscord <Sublayer plank> I actually have the same issue on my school laptop where when not plugged in, minetest won't go anywhere above 40fps even though it probably should be able to. plugging it into the charger fixes the issue and it goes up to the 60fps limit
20:39 Calinou check the Intel graphics driver control panel, it has power management options available
20:39 Calinou I'm fairly sure there is a default FPS limiter by now
20:40 kilbith Calinou: how do you explain it's capped at 60 FPS on Steam?
20:40 MTDiscord <Sublayer plank> that was with the "full performance" profile when running off of the battery btw, no power saving
20:41 kilbith there is something with Minetest or Irrlicht
20:41 kilbith because the AAA games leave me go to 60 FPS
20:43 kilbith 2 ms. equates to 700+ FPS
20:43 kilbith normally
20:57 erlehmann kilbith which games do you have 700fps
