; ; Base Driver Blacklist ; ===================== ; ; Hardware checks are controlled by the console variable "r.WarnOfBadDrivers". The the console variable options for more information. ; ; What to do when a certain driver or hardware shows problems: ; - If the driver exhibiting the problem is old, add it to the blacklist with "<=". In general it's better to ask users to upgrade. ; - If the driver exhibiting the problem is the latest, add it to the blacklist with ">=". We should not assume the next driver version fixes the problem. ; ; Expectations on QA: ; - QA always tests the latest driver version. ; - When a new driver is released, QA should test it and if it does not introduce bugs the SuggestedDriverVersion should be updated to the latest driver. ; - If the latest driver is blacklisted, it is not removed until QA verifies it is fixed. ; - If driver specific bugs are found, enter them in JIRA so that they can be tracked. ; ; Expectations on Engineering: ; - Bugs on older drivers are added to the blacklist and otherwise ignored. ; - Bugs on the latest driver are added to the blacklist but treated as critical bugs for which we must try to find a workaround. We must also notify the IHV to help if we cannot find the problem. ; ; INI sections: ; [GPU_NVIDIA] [GPU_AMD] [GPU_Intel] ; ; Explanation of the INI entries: ; - "SuggestedDriverVersion": string used to communicate to the user which driver version is appropriate (not used by any code), empty if unknown ; - "Blacklist": array of tests that can be made to mark a driver or a range of them as problematic ; "DriverVersion": to compare against the "unified driver" (see log) version e.g. "123.45.2" "==123.45" "<123.45", comparison operators: == != > < >= <= ; "Reason": string used to document the reason for blacklisting the driver, could be shown to the user ; comment above each blacklist entry: more details about the problem, potential workarounds ; ;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [GPU_NVIDIA] ; a newer one is out but has issues (see below) SuggestedDriverVersion="378.92" ; Seems this driver was not setting uninitialized global variables ; (static, non const) to 0 but leaving them uninitialized. ; Also blacklist future driver versions until QA has verified them to work. ; NOTE: UE-25096 has been fixed and verified by QA. ;+Blacklist=(DriverVersion=">=361.43", Reason="UE-25096 Viewport flashes black and white when moving in the scene on latest NVIDIA drivers") ; To prevent problems with older drivers. ; We might have to adjust that further. +Blacklist=(DriverVersion="<=347.09", Reason="Crashes with Paragon content using more recent GPU features") ; UE-35288, GPU hangs in 4.13 binary release. +Blacklist=(DriverVersion="==372.70", Reason="This driver version has many known stability issues") ;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [GPU_AMD] // From OR-27051 as of 8/4/2016 is 16.300.2311.0 7/18/2016 (Crimson Edition 16.9.2) SuggestedDriverVersion="16.60.2711.0" // From OR-27051 +Blacklist=(DriverVersion="==15.300.1025.1001", Reason="Crashes with Paragon content using more recent GPU features") // 14.301.1001.0 - 13.152.1.1000 are the AMD drivers that seem to be causing crashes when we try to compile a compute shader. +Blacklist=(DriverVersion="<=14.301.1001.0", Reason="Crashes with Paragon content using more recent GPU features") ;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [GPU_Intel] SuggestedDriverVersion=""
