Bad news├óÔé¼┬ª it crashed again. :/

Map: Bethezda
The script was "Commanders".
Everything seems fine and after 5 min, boom, usual symptoms.
I never saw the x86 version, but there was no graphical artifacts.

It freezed when I was building ships and hovercrafts, and I was driving the commander in in-game view.

I'm using an ATI.

XTA v8.1 but I don't think, it's related.

For me, just waiting is enough for freezing├óÔé¼┬ª

We have something different in our configs├óÔé¼┬ª hardware or software├óÔé¼┬ª
The version of some frameworks?

Maybe an other lib that need to be re-linked?

Or is there any static path? I'm using RTS on my desktop.

But I truly have the feeling that it's something graphic.

Problem of resolution? I'm using an uncommon 1280*900 windowed.


I'm remembering now something strange. After using X-plane, I launched RTS, and when the window appear, I saw briefly a frame from X-plane. Usually before that the menu appear, there is some strange strips in the window.

Don't worry; that's just me being lazy and not bothering to clear the buffer as it's cleared as the menu is drawn.

I use 1021*683, but I couldn't understand how anything that wouldn't cause a direct crash would be related to res. If it was a lib, it would complain about unlinked symbols at start-up, and quit gracefully. I've built it so it can be used elsewhere fine, and works as expected, where ever it is. All not core OS frameworks are included. (10.4.8) The only thing coming to mind is you might have some bad/finiky ram.

Load SpringRTS (double click app bundle), select "Commanders" script, select "Betheza_V2.smf", select "XTA v8.1", Load. Start game. Wait 10 mins.

That crashes for you?

could you post your prefs file then?

You got it! :-)

There was something wrong in the prefs file! I wrote too fast. :oops: FSAAlevel AND FSAA was at 2 instead of 1 for the second. Isn't it a boolean?

At first try, everything seems ok.

there isn't any Booleans because Spring uses bools as ints in it's settings. don't know why that'd cause a crash after that long... but whatever works :P

:(
The test was too short. I had the "thing" again├óÔé¼┬ª

This time with DireStrights and XTA 8.1.

Each time, the bug appear later.

I'll post my prefs file.
edit:here, it is.

I applied the patch of the binary file. I played Commanders/Small Divide/XTA 8.1 for about 10 minutes and there was no crash like there had been before.

The game does not launch under Mac OS 10.5 9A321

I tried the same map and mod with the Random Enemies script and it crashed hard after 5 minutes.

There also weren't any random enemies. When I ran my friend's TA Spring Compile, Random Enemies worked.

I don't think the script has anything to do with it then. Unless you can give me step by step, to the detail, I can't even try to reproduce successfully.

I choose Random Enemies, Small Divide, and XTA 8.1. I just start building things, and not long after it freezes. Also, with the patch you posted, metal and energy aren't used up.

"build some things" is very vague...

Drains fine here...
