GLaDOS's eye is not orange at beginning of her bootup

Open alebahn opened this issue 10 years ago • 29 comments

When GLaDOS first boots, her orange pupil did not show. After the assembly animation and the player is picked up, the eye is orange.

Nice. You are a true gamer. haha :) Trivial, but details do count. Its not my project, but it for sure helps to give more info. Like, your system specs and distro. Without that, its impossible to tell what the issue might be. Terminal output helps, too. Just FYI.

I didn't have the console open at the time. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 3.2.0-58-generic x86_64 My graphics: NVIDIA Corporation GF104 [GeForce GTX 460 SE](rev a1) driver: nvidia 331-updates

Word. Ill bet its Unity. Is it possible to try another Desktop Environment? I like XFCE for testing stuff like this, as its super lightweight. I would do that, reboot, and when you log in, you should be able to click a drop down menu before you actually click LOGIN that will let you select XFCE for your DE for that session.

You should be able to just install it with:

sudo apt-get install xfce4

or

sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop

xubuntu-desktop is a meta package and will pull all apps for XFCE. I would try that and see if it makes a difference in it. Unity is funky.

Can confirm

My system is openSUSE 13.1 x86_64 (gnome-shell) with linux 3.13.5 with nvidia GTX 660 and 334.16 driver.

@RoninDusette What on earth makes you think this is anything to do with the Desktop Environment?

I also seem to be experiencing this issue, KDE 4.11, Kubuntu 13.10.

Its called troubleshooting. I help admin playonlinux, and troubleshoot graphics issues daily. Obviously, since you can confirm it is the same on KDE, then that is not the case. Again, its called troubleshooting. I won't help out anymore. What do I know, right? Hope you figure it out. On Feb 26, 2014 4:46 AM, "Daniel Evans" [email protected] wrote:

Confirmed. Gentoo/amd64, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce GT 650M](rev a1) UPD: Even after she grabs me, her eye is small (just pupil) and turns off when she pauses speeking.

dimgel avatar Feb 26 '14 18:02 dimgel

Same as above on my Debian @ amd64 with Intel HD Graphics 4000.

I experienced this as well, though the later chamber where you meet back up with GlaDOS after disabling the neurotoxin and turrets has her glowing eye looking as it should.

Arbitrary007 avatar Feb 27 '14 03:02 Arbitrary007

Playing through the boot-up stage does still look like she doesn't have an eye at first, but when I moved around in the little pit I came up in, there are some spots where I see her eye and others I do not. Her eye also looks more like a dot of light rather than a yellow lens like she has when you finally confront her. I wonder if the light I see is the backlight for her eye and the eye just isn't textured.

Arbitrary007 avatar Feb 27 '14 04:02 Arbitrary007

Confirmed here. System information: https://gist.github.com/CharlesAtum/2e5f6b8deaf85ba6c472 Running with optirun -b primus on a Nvidia Geforce GT630M

Also, GLaDOS eye will be blinking orange at the first moments of the boot-up.

I noticed the same problem today. Kubuntu 13.10 64 bit GT555m

Just saw this problem as well. Archlinux Nvidia 560ti 331.49.

Confirmed; I couldn't remember if it was supposed to be that way or not.

Radeon HD 4850, Kubuntu 14.04 Alpha 2, whatever version of the open source Radeon driver is included with that.

Confirmed: Arch Linux KDE. I had recorded but the recording had lost about 10 minutes of itself? So only the part of getting to the testing track recorded where Wheatly controls the cabin.

Tested today after the recent patch. The orange eye does have better visibility, but I still feel something is amiss. The eye during the bootup sequence still looks different than when you meet back up with her later with Wheatley.

Arbitrary007 avatar Mar 19 '14 20:03 Arbitrary007

Yes, well spotted, the 'better' eye was a side effect of the trilinear fix we made (for #101), we're yet to get to a 100% fix for this.

mariodonofrio avatar Mar 20 '14 10:03 mariodonofrio

I try to keep an eye on any of the particular bugs I have run across and ensure they work on my system after every patch, whether it says it fixed it or not. (An accidental fix is still a fix.)

Arbitrary007 avatar Mar 26 '14 05:03 Arbitrary007

Ok, after watching my PS3 run through this part, the eye in the Linux version looks like the PS3 version. Maybe the lens isn't supposed to be there? Or it is and it's not a Linux specific bug.

Arbitrary007 avatar Apr 16 '14 01:04 Arbitrary007

Maybe it's just specific to OpenGL backend. The lens is for sure present when playing on Windows or with Wine.

dos1 avatar Apr 16 '14 01:04 dos1

It seems as this issue hasn't been touched in a while In 2021, still experiencing this bug. Pop!_OS 20.04, everything possible updated to latest version.

balika0105 avatar May 21 '21 09:05 balika0105

Looks the same as Windows to me on both the OpenGL and Vulkan backends.

I assume you are referring to the little sprite on her eye?

Joshua-Ashton avatar May 21 '21 14:05 Joshua-Ashton

(however, if you're referring why why glados does not change skin to the one used in a2_core, there is no logic in the level to do that)

Joshua-Ashton avatar May 21 '21 14:05 Joshua-Ashton

The orange background is missing and her eye is basically empty from a distance. If you get closer, only then can you see a little light emitting object

balika0105 avatar May 21 '21 17:05 balika0105

I don't think that's a bug, that skin was never used in wakeup

Joshua-Ashton avatar May 21 '21 17:05 Joshua-Ashton

I can no longer reproduce this issue. AFAIK my system is producing the right result. Compare playback of the Xbox 360 version
https://youtu.be/TKEq1bGGNjI?t=1175 And the scene on my system https://youtu.be/AerKF--9pAA?t=83

I'm using a Vega56, Archlinux, and the recording was done on the opengl backend.

Since my last post I've moved over to Mesa from Nvidia, but also everything else about my system and software is probably different too 😅
