Spring RTS Engine

Posted: **22 Jan 2012, 04:44**

Hello, I'm running spring on Fedora linux on my netbook, and every time I try to start a game, the engine crashes. Seem like a memmory problem, but I can't be too sure. I attached my log for you guys.

interesting parts of the log:

...

the stack trace looks strange, but i ma 95+% sure that this is GFX driver related. it looks like you should be using an other driver. if there is no other driver for your card, you will probably be out of luck. what is your gfx card?
if i remember right, gfx drivers usually get mapped into the 0x4... address range. the main binary (spring) usually gets mapped into 0x00..., crash is in 0x434400.
seeing that you use 32bit spring, and that your CPU only supports up to SSE 3, i guess your system is pretty old in general. but.. good luck anyway!

Not old, but extremely under-powered. It's an Acer aspire one netbook (lol, it's my college computer I use in my classes), so getting spring to work on it was more of just a quick test. The graphics "card" is an intel series integrated graphics chip. I really don't know much about the chip. I can usually fool games that require special shading into using it, but spring is too smart for it.

you may want to try reducing effects to a minimum, i recall my laptop crashing until i had done so

Effects are as low as possible.
