#1 Sudeenly "Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)"

[Anonymous]

Hi there,
I've been playing Frozen Bubbles on WinXP some time now
and it worked fine. It a really addictive game!
Now suddenly it doesn't start anymore. When I start it
from the command line, I see the error message "[SDL
Init] Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute
Deployed)"
AFAIK that a very general SDL eror message :-(

The only things I remember to have changed on my system is:
- installed latest graphics drivers (ATI)
- instaled latest DirectX (9.0b)

Could you please advise how to get the game running
again???
PLEASE! I'm addicted! ;-)

Kind regards,
Klaus

Hi Klaus,

I am sorry, but I have no idea how to solve this problem. I
have exprienced it on a couple of computers myself, though
from the first run. Maybe it's something that has already been
fixed in SDL_Perl 2. I don't know if and when I'd get a new
version using SDL_Perl 2 running, I am actually hoping
jaysonic would get to it.

Sorry,
kichik

Your bug report is fairly impossible to track down due to
the FANTASTIC SDL error messages. Starting frozen bubble
from the command line under win32 is a very delicate task.
What command are you typing from the command line? Perhaps
the shortcut you were using has become borked and will not
load the perlscript. I would suggest if you have not already
to uninstall and reinstall the frozen bubble portion of the
application only to insure the shortcuts are functional. I
am working on migrating the codebase to sdl 2.0 but it is
very slow going as I really only have a few minutes here and
there to mess around with code.
