Category: None Group: v0.3 >Status: Pending Resolution: None Priority: 9 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: FO freezes XP on launch Initial Comment: v0.3 and v0.3.1 freeze my XP SP1 box as soon as click on something on the main screen, whether on fullscreen mode or windowed. In windowed mode, no message appear on the console. I have to hard-reboot. (Possible graphics drivers problem?) What I did: I download v0.3.1RC1 and install it. I launch the game. The main screen/menu appear. I click on Option, the options pop up, the box freezes. Reboot, "Windows recovered from an error blah blah". I launch the game again, I click on "Single Player", the box freezes. Reboot, uninstall, download and install v0.3, remove the --fullscreen in the shortcuts. I launch the game, move the window a little so I can see the console (just in case, y'know). I click on "Single Player", the box freezes. I sigh, I reboot, I uninstall, I write this.

Be sure you have .NET Framework 2.0 installed on your system. Read the release announcement on the forums for details. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2006-01-23 13:48 Message: Logged In: NO The game crashes before a default config.xml could be created. I plucked another one from a linux install and modified it accordingly (there was a linux-only option that had to be deleted, aside from the obvious pathnames issue). It seems that the issue is a little more severe than I thought; in the few seconds it took me to copy the last few debug lines from the console, the machine froze. So it's not actually the menu-item activation that causes the crash, but a delayed... something from the very start. Here are the last few debug lines from freeorion.log: 2006-01-23 20:30:47,283 DEBUG : Inserted(BLD_REMOTE_CONST, Remote Construction) 2006-01-23 20:30:47,299 DEBUG : Inserted(BLD_REMOTE_CONST_DESC, A network of matter and construction. A team of construction workers and robots can assemble structures on distant worlds without the need for freighters or construction vessels. Only a small matter-terminal ship is needed. Quickly raises the industry on all worlds to that of an Established world.) 2006-01-23 20:30:47,299 DEBUG : Inserted(BLD_ECON_SINKHOLE, Economic Sinkhole) 2006-01-23 20:30:47,299 DEBUG : Inserted(BLD_ECON_SINKHOLE_DESC, An Economic Sinkhole actively disrupts trade in its vicinity. This effect does not distinguish between friend or foe, however, so care must be taken in its placement to maximize disruption of enemy trade, while assuring minimal impact on that of its builders.) The box freezes here. The two non-"Inserted()" lines: 2006-01-23 20:30:46,955 DEBUG : SDLInit() complete. 2006-01-23 20:30:46,986 DEBUG : GLInit() complete. Note that the XP SP2 at work runs FO just fine ^_^ In my haste to report the bug, I forgot to precise that the box is a Sempron (AMD64), on a SiS 760 chipset (integrated graphics). Though the Windows itself is a 32bit OS, the game may just not like the processor and/or the chipset.

In this file, edit the line with <log-level> to: <log-level>DEBUG</log-level> then run FreeOrion, uncover the console, then click on "Single Player" and see if anything shows up in the console, and if so, report it as a comment here? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=544942&aid=1411490&group_id=75752 |
