I have a similar setup with the same CPU (i7 860). I also get the same issues with shadercompile.exe when compiling SDK_lightmappedgeneric_ps2x.fxc. My original solution was to just compile it with a single thread by patching the module. I thought it might be a race condition, but it always acts up at the exact same spot: "7864325 remaining."
The interesting behavior is that the child processes all start waiting on a lock at that spot, the main process is busy doing something else. The child processes continue to wait on a lock for about 13? tries before giving up and exiting. I patched the Memory::Lock tolerance and it seems to recover after a minute or two, but that's only a bandaid for whatever is holding the main process up. Here's my patched module if you want to give it a shot and see if it generates a correct combo shader: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/759758/shadercompile_dll.zip On Sat, Sep 17, 2011 at 11:31 AM, Alexander Davidson <aldavid...@gmail.com> wrote: > I think my paths are all set up correctly.
