shaderpack failed to load
hey there, i'm using a pretty hefty amount of mods, including distant horizons with photon shaders which are advertized as compatible with distant horizons. i'm using the physics mod as well which can cause some issues with shaders but i've been able to run this mod combination previously without problem. currently about 9/10 times when i open the game i get the message "the shaderpack failed to load! please report the error to the developper" the info included in the message is the following:
prepare.vsh: prepare.vsh: 0:38(63): error:
base_color' undeclared
0:38(63): error: type mismatch
0:38(38): error: no function with name 'linear_step'
0:38(34): error: no function with name 'sqr'
0:38(27): error: operands to arithmetic operators must be numeric
0:38(88): error: base_color' undeclared
0:38(88): error: type mismatch
0:38(80): error: operands to arithmetic operators must be numeric
0:38(27): error: operands to arithmetic operators must be numeric
the remaining 1/10 time the shader loads as expected and everything runs smoothly - right now i've restarted the game a couple times and i can't seem to get it to work again tho.
here's my log from when it wasn't working.
i'm also using prism launcher, running on linux fedora 41 and my gpu is an AMD one if that's relevant
thanks for the input!Solution:Jump to solution

Is it only happening with Photon 1.1 or the same happens with other packs?
hey i usually only use photon since it's my favourite, however i just downloaded complementary both unbound and reimagined as well as bsl to test and it works with all 3 of those. guess i should ask for support from the photon devs instead?
Seems to be specific to Photon. Here's an earlier report of it:
