the title may sounds retarded, i realize but "stops working" in the sense that when the window appears after you've won a game, and i hit exit, it freezes.
i have spring 0.80.4.0
running ubuntu 9.04 on a p4
nvidia geforce 8600
this happened rarely a few weeks ago, now it happens almost every single time i close spring
this is playing BA, but if i remember correctly it has happened when playing s44. While spring is frozen the rest of my system isn't, as i can shut down the computer normally by pressing the physical power button and waiting 60 seconds (ubuntu waits 60 to shut down when i press the power button)
this was not such a big issue before but now it is getting extremely irritating -.-

Re: spring stops working when closed
I have this too, although only on Ubuntu 9.10 alpha. As a workaround I discovered ctrl+alt+f1, logging in, and doing killall -9 pulseaudio. You can get back to your desktop with ctrl+alt+f7
Re: spring stops working when closed
wqeird i did that (ctrl+alt+f1), and did killall spring, it didn't work xD
Re: spring stops working when closed
ok i logged into ctrl+alt+f1,and while killall -9 pulseaudio didn't work, killall -9 spring did. thanks!
Re: spring stops working when closed
this is frustrating me, i know it has to do with sound (the majority of the time spring starts with no sound, and when i close it i have to do this)
i tried playing evolution rts and when it finishes loading it will stop working the same way, the only way to fix this is to turn sound off from springsettings
why? i want my sound plz :)

Running on WinXP, Spring crashes most of the times when game ends. Not really big deal, but hey, looks related!
Re: spring stops working when closed
Yeah, previous versions did this, but 80.4.1 and later seem stable on exit for me.
