 all stacktraces contain the lines

"[f=0000000] Error: This stack trace indicates a problem with your graphic card driver. Please try upgrading or downgrading it. Specifically recommended is the latest driver, and one that is as old as your graphic card. Make sure to use a driver removal utility, before installing other drivers."

 as in older releases: try to reduce decals / disable gfx related stuff... check if --safemode works stable for example

 does it help to set AtiHacks=0 ?

user744

2013-02-13 03:04

 with --safemode all mods seem to work (at least for few minutes of testing)

AtiHacks=0/1 makes no difference

disable gfx related stuff: makes no difference (also tried the .conf file that works in 91.0) but idk what settings are worth trying.
i tried:
AdvMapShading = 0
AdvUnitShading = 0
GroundDecals = 0
Shadows = 0
AdvSky = 0

 --safemode sets 3DTrees=0: http://springrts.com/wiki/Springrc

is 3DTrees=0 enough?

if not, search on the springrc wiki page for "safemodeValue"

CompressTextures=1 is an other possibility...

~0009774

user744

2013-02-13 03:36

 3DTrees=0 helps only vs the disappearing units, interface etc as described in
http://springrts.com/mantis/view.php?id=3456
But that is only for BA and tutomod which can actually spawn units, in other mods it does not even get that far. (see OP)

CompressTextures=1 makes no difference.

Will trysafemodeValue values tomorrow.

 http://springrts.com/dl/buildbot/default/develop/92.0.1-62-gc96d6b0/win32/
still crashes.

XTA 9.725 [patch 1.8] still crashs while loading:
http://pastebin.com/sCUy8jVB

with safemode it at first seems to be normal, but every 2nd start or so this happens: when pointing mouse over a unit, almost whole screen goes teal. (i guess unit highlight widget)
could not get in on screenshot but looks like this: http://www.abload.de/img/sosiehtsaus6pp76.jpg (shopped)
While this happens FPS drop to 0 but if I move mouse away fast enough, it recovers. If I keep it pointing, spring hangs and must be closed via taskmanager. (with previous versions that did not happen)

 The bug with the screen changing colour on mouse over unit is caused by a combination of ATI issues and the highlight unit widget - it's been around for a while (I would fix it if I knew how) and I don't think its related to any recent spring changes.

We've disabled that widget by default for the next BA version.

2013-02-22 19:31

 yes, i know. its also on help/faq. but highlight widget always worked for me, so thought to mention it. also afaik only screen goes blue, it does not hang.

 @silentwings: i guess thats the ATI + glPointSize bug

see for example:
http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=27363&start=20
http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=24036
http://code.google.com/p/zero-k/issues/detail?id=393

afaik only solution seems to not use glPointSize in widgets.

 does 94.1 still crash?

2013-04-04 01:29

 94.1:
BA works (as before)

XTA still crashes but works normal with --safemode.
As it was crashing during "Loading LuaRules" I deleted gadgets folder and then it loads.

http://kloot.darkstars.co.uk/XTAPEv9726.sdz

crashes after countdown: http://pastebin.com/73aWDire

BUT: If I do not "press ctrl+f to force start" I can spawn units, and that will NOT make it crash. example: /give arm_commander /give arm_peewee
After forcestart, it then crashs: http://pastebin.com/7csEn0Dn

BUT: /give core_commander makes it crash instantly:

spawn gadget removed: crash after spawning a unit.
for example /give simplehover
if no unit is spawned, can look around the map etc without problem.
when spawning a unit in "press alt+f to force start stage" -> crash.

(this is different to XTA, but maybe it is just random luck with the models or something)

 try to run spring in gdb (to get a more saying backtrace)

 http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/ this?
I did not understand it at all.
So I used different debugger, its in all the "remove winrar notice" tutorials and generally pretty pro.

SpringTutorialGame, crash after countdown reached 0.

 After much loling around I found:
it does not crash when UseVBO = 0

~0010606

user744

2013-05-03 02:12

 ...on the other hand with UseVBO = 0 units are now invisible (except teamcolor?)
http://www.abload.de/img/screen0017005alr.jpg
but that goes away with /shadows 0
shadows never worked anyway on this computer (simply did not show) so thats ok for me.

 already many thanks! this maybe makes it already possible to workaround it, not sure.

can you please also download / extract gdb:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tdm-gcc/files/GDB/gdb-7.5-tdm64-2.zip/download

start cmd.exe, cd next into the directory where gdb was extracted.
"cd bin"
then type "gdb.exe C:\path\to\spring.exe"
type "run -w"

let spring crash

then type "bt"

copy & paste the output to us...

 will try that later...
btw what jK said in chat: (deleted some lines)

<[LCC]jK> it reports it supports VBOs and crashes
<[LCC]jK> and GLSL shaders are broken too
<[LCC]jK> likely ati hates VBOs in DisplayLists
<[LCC]jK> but your gpu is such old, they dropped support for it already agggggggges ago
<[LCC]jK> no idea what to do regarding that, cause it reports something it doesn't support
<[LCC]jK> and it hardcrashes
<[LCC]jK> so I got no possiblity to workaround it
<[LCC]jK> seems you have to live with it tilllyou bought a new gpu
<[2up]knorke> maybe as workaround if gfx-card name contains "Radeon X1300/X1550 Series" turn useVBO off
<[2up]knorke> iam too lazy to buy computer stuff anymore
<[LCC]jK> and I am to lazy to write such a hack

 32 bit win vista.
http://pastebin.com/V8DwEHDH
then i typed "next" until spring exited:
http://pastebin.com/RT7APxwS

note:
i installed this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/Extension/gdb/GDB-7.5/gdb-7.5-1-mingw32-bin.tar.lzma/download
then was missing a dll so http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/Extension/expat/expat-2.0.1-1/libexpat-2.0.1-1-mingw32-dll-1.tar.gz/download
 too
Then was missing more .dll so I copied bunch of .dll from mingw/codeblocks install, then it started. hope its correct versions and such?

 Previously, issuing /shadows 0 would always switch to the ARB model shader regardless of reported hardware capability, now the GLSL shaders are used if the hardware says it can run them (yours does, but generates a "Fragment Shader not supported by HW" warning without any specific information which probably means some hardware limit was exceeded).

I don't think allowing those few users with such crappy GPU's to force-disable shaders is worth it, plus /advmodelshading and /advmapshading already exist for that purpose.

 hmm, maybe add a "crashed" or "cleanshutdown" config variable?

at start, crashed=1 is written to config, at shutdown crashed=0 is written

if crashed=1 is read, safemode is activated and safemode values are written to config?

an alternative would be, to let lobby activate safemode if it detected a crash...

 I'm curious why XTA 9.725 p1.8 crashes after loading luarules, but 9.726 crashes after countdown. Do they both work with empty gadgets folder? Do you think it would be possible to isolate the offending gadget?
