Spring RTS Engine

I think I figured out why it happens. I suspect it's libnotify, for example when you're listening to music and your track changes. That causes the notification to appear, and in combination with Compiz this "de-fullscreenizes" Spring into windowed mode. The working workaround for this is t...

According to your bug tracker this issue has been resolved and should not happen. At least spare us the lie. try to be less abrasive in your answers ... you should be able to reopen the ticket yourself, just create an account there I tried that, but I can't reopen (no editing options). That's why I...

if you had a hard lock such that even the magic sysrq didn't work (don't know if you tried it), it's definitely not spring's fault. According to your bug tracker this issue has been resolved and should not happen. At least spare us the lie. And no, Magic SysRq didn't fail. It's how I rebooted it.

it is X that is hard locking, you don't even have to restart really.. even doh it makes little difference, as you lost all open windows and stuff anyway. It was X first, then I switched to framebuffer. I could log in, but then it froze there too before I could kill spring (I wasn't in a hurry, beca...

Post a stacktrace (i.e. install debug package, run in gdb, press ctrl+c when it hangs, then type 'thread apply all bt'. Put all the output in a file and attach to the report.) We can not do anything with the bug report as it is. EDIT: If PC locks up hard try to ssh into it from another machine to g...

Good point, I don't know what came over me.
And to think I even promoted the game to everyone I know! Damn, I must be possessed by an evil daemon or something.

OK so I guess I'm done with Spring then since I cannot play it.

I wonder why even though I agree that fglrx is buggy as hell, this doesn't happen in any other game.

I've just had Spring hardlock my computer (minutes after it suddenly jumped into windowed mode for no reason whatsoever). Even when I ssh'd into it and killed spring I still had to reboot, because the keyboard and mouse weren't responding. I found this bug report that was supposedly "fixed"...

Put that stuff in the FAQ please.

I like how you addressed every point I made.

Well I figured it out. No, it was NOT my network, it was bad game design. Apparently you cannot connect while the game is in progress . Why doesn't anyone bother to mention this? It's not that obvious, especially if you just want to spectate. In fact it's counter-intuitive as most games out there wi...

I can confirm this. SpringLobby is a horrible abomination that should not be presented to the public.

qtlobby is unbelievably better, even on Gnome

I know you guys still think it's my network, but why would it only be filtering out Spring? Does Spring by any chance require the ICMP protocol too? I saw no documentation on setting up Spring for multiplayer. On a side note : Why does SpringLobby need 100% of my CPU to operate? It's also very frequ...

Hmm, this is getting stranger by the minute. So when I click "Start" the game will run and start connecting. It gets to exactly 45 seconds then it disappears (or just hides?). But apparently not every time, because just a while ago when I thought the game had already closed, a few minutes ...

I'm detecting no replies on the router either.

Either every server is broken or there is a bug in the client.

OK I've ran Wireshark and it looks like there are no replies coming back from the spring servers.

What about my computer?

I mean everything else works perfectly, even mutliplayer over Wine (haven't tried it with Spring though).

I've got the exact same problem on Ubuntu 9.10 Using the latest Spring/SpringLobby. When I connect to ANY server it just says "Connecting to Server" and counts till about 30-40 then it closes. Also in my case I have no firewall on my system, and the router is configured correctly (not bloc...
