Looking through logs from 5 clients (Mine, Disquse, Cristal, d33p and Karlman) I stumbled across a difference in the logs.
The three working clients (myself, Disquse and Karlman) have similar outputs in our log where “Changing NUI shared resource…” is printed prior to “Opening GTAVLauncher_Pipe” is being invoked / called.
Meanwhile the two clients with broken UI rendering (Cristal and d33p) don’t have this message and skip straight to “Opening GTAVLauncher_Pipe”.
Speaking with @Syntasu on Discord, he brought up that the issue was brought to light just over two weeks ago over at https://github.com/daktronics/cef-mixer/issues/4 and it seems that the developer merged a fix at a later time.
Will attach all of the logs in this post with names so I don’t just spam this message with snippets of the logs.
Just something to add/clarify, Kuma noted that all the logs miss the Changing NUI shared resource... for people who have this issue. This message is called when calling OnAccleratedPaint event.
Somehow on these machines the event looks like it’s not being called. So I thought it might be related to the issue that was openend by one of the FiveM dev’s on the cef-mixer repository:
at the moment doesnt look like anyone can do anything, but if you can find the ip address of the server you play on, you can open the console and type , connect ipaddress
I just had a look at my log and it is like this too. Hopefully this issue is sorted out soon, as its limited of what can be done in game (no text chat box). connecting to servers are a nightmare if you are unsure of what the ip address is and sometimes it pings out
bringing in more information, I have installed other GTA multiplayer platforms (GT: MP, RAGE: MP) and both use CEF as well, and work with their menus normally. Sorry for bad english, it’s not my native language.
Today I uninstalled all GPU drivers (9800 GT) and installed some old drivers and continued with the problem, I tried to start the game without using the GPU and the menu appeared correctly.
Additional information: Before the 15th update, the menu appeared with my current GPU (9800 GT) and with my current drivers.
Have you given any attention to this problem? all the video cards with driver 342.01 have the problem of not loading the menu, it would be interesting to join a staff since the problem has already been discovered and try to solve, I have no knowledge in this area, what little I could do already I did, I removed the GPU and only used the CPU the menu appeared but it is unplayable.
yes, yet we don’t have any of those ‘video cards’ supported only by that driver version, nor do we have the ability to buy one (unless any of you chooses to donate money for us to buy an old GPU of this kind).
A *.dmp is out of the question, since it’s not a crash. Best thing we can do is gather as much information about the affected systems, to see if some correlation exists between these systems.
Not specifically version 342.01, but more like <= 342.01 version drivers.
The correlation is ‘an ancient NVIDIA GPU’ before Fermi architecture. It’d cost us €30 (+ €13 in shipping) to buy a tested minimum specification GPU used from eBay. If anyone’s willing to donate towards this cause, get in touch with us.
That’s the case of dual-graphics laptops, this didn’t work before that update either. Plus, I doubt anyone’s willing to donate over €300 for a used laptop of this kind, or just has one of such lying around.
