#68 413a locks up when switching levels in net game

[Steve Cox]

Downloaded and installed 413a today. Plays fine in net games, but when the server switches to the next level, the game segfaults, leaving the UT splash screen - with no way to clear it but a reboot.

I have downloaded and installed the IpDrv.so as well.

Some log stuff:

Does anyone read these bug reports?

Which display driver or viewport manager are you using (XDrv or SDLDrv?)... there have been some problems with Voodoo 3 boards depending on the display settings.

This could be a network issue though. From the log posted to the Help forum, the client might be refusing server connections. How heavily firewalled is your client?

I am using XDrv for the viewport manager. I am not firewalled at all - I have a static IP on a 128k ISDN connection.
Should I try the SDLDrv?
I did not have this problem until patching up to 413A. I noticed the date stamp on the IpDrv.so I downloaded was OLDER than the one the patch installed. (?)

Thanks for responding!

Could this be a problem with the use of ngWorldStats I wonder?

It might be worth trying the SDLDrv but there have been mixed reports about using it with a Voodoo 3.

I get similar behavior when my local stand-alone games switch levels, and especially when trying to switch to the tournament in single player mode on the level with the moving train. Here are the last lines of UnrealTournament.log when trying to switch to the train level (the game also always crashes when I finish this level and attempt to move to the next):
