Addressed - real gap. Fixed per-permutation (not the whole loop) in GLSLShader.registerAllShaderPermutations(), and mirrored it in GLSLMaterial.recompile() via a new hasCompiledPermutation() check (a hash the shader skipped would otherwise attach shader object 0 in linkShaderProgram, a GL-level failure that doesn't throw - silently producing a broken program instead of a logged one). Didn't add the aggregate-failure-reporting-to-VideoSettingsScreen part - that's a separate UX feature, heavier lift than this crash-fix's scope. |

🌐 Web query:
OpenGL reference: Does glLinkProgram throw an error when linking fails, or must an application query GL_LINK_STATUS and the program info log?
💡 Result:
No, the glLinkProgram function does not throw an error (in the sense of raising an exception or signaling an API error via glGetError) when the linking process fails [1][2][3]. Instead, the success or failure of the link operation is stored as state within the program object itself [1][2][3]. To determine if linking was successful, an application must query the GL_LINK_STATUS parameter of the program object using glGetProgramiv [1][2][3]. If this value is GL_FALSE, the link operation failed [1][2][3]. To diagnose the cause of a link failure, the application should retrieve the program's information log by calling glGetProgramInfoLog [1][2][3]. This log contains diagnostic information detailing why the link failed (e.g., unresolved symbols, attribute binding conflicts) [1][4][5]. While glLinkProgram does not report failure as an API error, it will still generate standard OpenGL errors if the input parameters themselves are invalid, such as passing an object name that is not a program object or if the program object is currently in use by a transform feedback operation [1][4][5][2]. These specific cases will cause glGetError to return GL_INVALID_OPERATION or GL_INVALID_VALUE [1][5][2].

Check GL_LINK_STATUS before storing the program.
GLSLShader.linkShaderProgram() calls GL20.glLinkProgram() and returns the program ID without checking link status. A link failure does not throw a Java exception, so GLSLMaterial can store an unusable program ID. Query GL_LINK_STATUS and the info log, delete failed programs, and fail before inserting them into shaderPrograms.

Do not report an older permutation as compiled for the new settings.
registerAllShaderPermutations() does not clear or version disposalAction maps before it starts. If a permutation compiled for High but fails for Ultra, its old IDs remain in the maps. hasCompiledPermutation() then returns true, and GLSLMaterial.recompile() links the old shader source for the new rendering configuration.
Build into temporary maps and replace the active generation only when the result is valid. Otherwise, retain the prior material programs and report the unsupported configuration.

Delete shader objects from failed permutation attempts.
If fragment compilation succeeds and vertex or geometry compilation then fails, the earlier shader ID is not stored in a disposal map and is never deleted. compileShader() also leaves its newly created ID allocated when compilation fails. Each failed recompilation can therefore leak OpenGL shader objects until the driver exhausts resources.
Delete every locally created shader ID on the failure path before continuing.

Fixes #5292 - switching the video preset from High to Ultra crashed with
RuntimeException: Failed to resolve required asset: 'CoreRendering:prePostComposite', a material unrelated to any of Ultra's actual new features.Trace
Full trace posted on the issue. Short version:
ShaderManager.recompileAllShaders()(called from the video settings screen's preset apply) recompiles every loaded shader, then every loaded material. Three places on that path throw a plainRuntimeExceptionon failure with nothing to catch it:GLSLShader.recompile()- queuesregisterAllShaderPermutations(), which throws on anyGL_COMPILE_STATUSfailure while compiling the powerset of that shader's features.doReload()a few dozen lines down in the same file guards the identical call withtry { ... } catch (RuntimeException e) { logger.warn(...); }. Same operation, only one of its two entry points was safe.GLSLMaterial.recompile()- unguarded at both of its own call sites, and clears every existing compiled program before relinking, so a failure partway through relinking leaves nothing to fall back to.LwjglGraphicsManager.processActions()- drains the shared display-thread action queue with a plainforEach(Runnable::run).recompileAllShaders()alone queues one action per loaded shader onto this queue, so an uncaught exception from any single one used to abort every action queued after it in the same batch - the likely reason an unrelated material (prePostComposite) is what actually surfaced in the crash.Fix
Each site gets the same shape this codebase already uses in
doReload(): log and continue instead of propagate. No site here throws on the success path, so this only changes what happens when a shader genuinely fails to compile.What I could and couldn't verify
Traced by reading, not reproduced - the actual
GL_COMPILE_STATUSfailure needs the reporter's AMD RX 580 / Mesa stack, which I don't have here, so I can't confirm which specific shader permutation fails on that hardware. What this does confirm and fix: the code path that turns any such failure, on any driver, into a hard crash rather than the degraded-but-running game the original report asked for.Compiles clean (
:engine:compileJava,:engine-tests:compileTestJava). No existing unit tests cover these LWJGL/GL-context-bound classes to run.
