#1045 During race, program hang on esc/help menu

[Pierpaolo Toniolo]

Situation:
On Debian unstable, with SVN trunk, Nvidia GTX970M.
Laptop with double VGA card (Intel and Nvidia)
GNOME Shell 3.36 in xorg mode (no wayland)
Compiled with:
cmake -Wno-dev -D OPTION_OFFICIAL_ONLY:BOOL=OFF -D SDL2_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/SDL2/ -D OPTION_SDL_JOYSTICK:BOOL=OFF ..
Running speed-dreams-2 with or without pvkrun

What go wrong:
During a race, when I open the help menu with F1 key and the I clickl "Back" the program freeze, looks like waiting for something.
If I wait several seconds sometimes it start again.
Moving the mouse or clicking on another window may help to thaw the program.

Attached the running.log.
opening menu screen are at:
00:00:15
00:00:25
00:00:45
00:01:05
00:01:16
00:02:00
00:02:14
00:04:15
00:04:46
00:05:25

Every time race is stopped I've tried many ways to resume it by moving the mouse on another screen, clicking on another window, just waiting.
Sometimes the game unfreeze just moving the mouse on another windows, sometimes I need to clik on another window. Many times the game iconized, I hear the race sound again so game is running again but iconized.

If you need more information just ask ;-)

@torcs-ng
Do you see the problem on on openal-soft 1.19 ? Or on 1.20?

[Pierpaolo Toniolo]

1.19.
These are the libraries installed on my system:

$ dpkg -l libopenal* | grep ^ii
ii  libopenal-data      1:1.19.1-1    all          Software implementation of the OpenAL audio API (data files)
ii  libopenal-dev:amd64 1:1.19.1-1+b1 amd64        Software implementation of the OpenAL audio API (development files)
ii  libopenal1:amd64    1:1.19.1-1+b1 amd64        Software implementation of the OpenAL audio API (shared library)
ii  libopenal1:i386     1:1.19.1-1+b1 i386         Software implementation of the OpenAL audio API (shared library)

[Bertaux Xavier]

here idem :
openal 1.19.1-2 x86_64
libopenal1 1.19.1-2 x86_64
libopenal-dev 1.19.1-2 x86_64

and since that I have updated this packages, the game freeze when it call menu sound music after race and work fine if I disabled this menu music

[beaglejoe]

I was unable to duplicate the problem on windows.

[Bertaux Xavier]

I look this on my windows 10 PC

[beaglejoe]

Should be fixed with [ r7639]

I have a similar pb, hangs at the end of each race when pressing on "continue". Also disappears if I disable music. OpenAL is 1.21, speed-dreams 2.2.3. Let me know if this deserves a new ticket.
cheers.

@eatdirt, Hello and welcome!
This should be fixed in the next release.
