    Hey, a game that I play called GunZ is causing instability in Gaim.  I have not noticed instability in any other pogram, including GIMP (might be useful to know since GIMP is GTK also).  I have not noticed this instability with any other program.

    I -BELIEVE- that GunZ uses The unreal engine, and is DirectX based.

    Gaim is usually stable, but once GunZ is run, until I reboot, Gaim is unstable.  A friend of mine is having the same problem

    My computer:
    3.2GhZ P IV w/ HT
    1gb ram
    Windows XP

    Friends computer
    Don't know processor
    246mb ram
    Windows 2000

    The same problem occurs on both computers, and we both use the latest version of GAIM.

      What do you mean by unstable?  What specific problems are you having?

      So Gaim stays unstable even if you quit the game?

      That is correct, Gaim remains unstable even if I quit GunZ.

      By unstable, it seems to have a 25-50% chance of crashing whenever an IM conversation is started.

        You also said a reboot is required.  So even if you quit Gaim and relaunch, it is still unstable?
