== Material "dev/halo_add_to_screen" has bad reference count 0 when being bound ==


I did everything by instructions and i get this error spam console output:
This tutorial is great, but kind of jumps into things without any context or explanation, leaving first time readers a bit lost. Suggest adding a bit of setup rather than just jumping straight into a bullet list.

I had the glow effect working a mod and I loved using it as a sandbox tool. It seems to have disappeared from my game. I mean my code and console commands "run" but nothing is rendered on the screen. I think it started when I got my RTX card. In case others are having this problem, the issue was that my "Hardware DirectX Level" (as seen in the advanced video options) was being detected as 8.0! Adding '''-dxlevel 90''' to my command line just once solved the issue!

After running the game with this fix applied I got console errors saying that "materials/dev/glow_red.vtf" (and the like) could be found, and I can't find them either. Am I missing something? Is that example VMT okay or does it need to be fixed? (I commented out those lines for now.)

Problem on New Hardware (Fixed)

I had the glow effect working a mod and I loved using it as a sandbox tool. It seems to have disappeared from my game. I mean my code and console commands "run" but nothing is rendered on the screen. I think it started when I got my RTX card. In case others are having this problem, the issue was that my "Hardware DirectX Level" (as seen in the advanced video options) was being detected as 8.0! Adding -dxlevel 90 to my command line just once solved the issue! --Bit Mage (talk) 13:45, 11 September 2024 (PDT)
