IMPORTANT: In case an errors occurs during setup, which is not listed here, please contact me, with the following information:

- Panda3D Version (Self-Compiled, Buildbot, Official), inclusive the used python version
- OS (Windows / Linux)
- Your GPU model and driver version
- The whole console output!

Requirements check

If the step 'Checking requirements' fails, this might have the following reasons:

  • Your GPU does not support compute shaders
    • On Windows, make sure you have the newest drivers. If you already have, your GPU might just not support them
    • On Linux, try different drivers, the default drivers lack support for newer OpenGL features

Downloading module builder

If the step 'Downloading the module builder ...' fails, this might have the following resasons:

  • No or bad internet connection
  • No write permissions to the render pipeline folder
  • Can not reach github

Try checking your internet connection and then rerun the setup.

Building the native code

When building the native code fails, check out this page: Building the C++ Modules

Extracting txo files

When the step Extracting txo files fails, this might have the following reasons:

  • No write permissions to the render pipeline folder

Filtering default cubemap

When the step Filtering default cubemap fails, this might have the following reasons:

  • You have a bad driver, try updating / using a different version
  • Your GPU is too slow, and thus needs more than 2 seconds to compute, this will cause windows to restart the driver.
  • No write permissions to the render pipeline folder
