When I exit the game, quit, everything appears as per normal. I have noticed that the vendetta process is still resident and taking 25% on an X4, so one CPU.. For every time I load game and exit (and still no problems with playing game at all, no error messages) there is a vendetta process still running and consuming CPU time. When I noticed this I had 4-5 processes running, since I was changing video settings for a new video card and exiting game, thinking this was necessary.

When I was playing for some time on Ubuntu 10.10 with an onboard ATI chip video card, this problem did not exist. I only noticed this problem present after I had updated to 11.10 AND also installed a new GTX560 Fermi. I am using the latest proprietary drivers, 285.05.09. I did notice that this latest driver update is supposed to fix some games hanging on exit.....

soooo? Any ideas? Anyone have this problem before? Recommend where I start to look for the source of the problem? I'm not sure if this is a vendetta problem or an Nvidia driver issue.

VO doesn't do this on my Linux box. ArchLinux with Xorg 1.10.4, and ATI's catalyst drivers 11.10 or on my laptop with intel video (dont know the versions)

I'd let Nvidia know about it.

The same problem here.

I haven't played in a while, and chose to install LinuxMint 12. I installed the nVidia driver, and seems to have it working ok on my computer. I have installed Vendetta - AMD64 version, and notice the same thing, it doesn't close properly. LinuxMint, the nVidia drivers, and VO are updated.

Fresh install of Ubuntu 64 11.10

Same problem

Freezes on exit or freezes on quit

Have to force quit, but this did not occur on ubuntu 10.10 which worked perfectly

Also many resolution selections for VO are not available as with 10.10

However the resolution selections exist in the actual Nvidia display settings but not in VO
Not sure why ?

Maybe this is a Ubuntu issue?

Resolution settings in VO now appeared for no apparent reason so that is fine now, but I don't know why.

Freezes on exits still occur and I need to force quit
I'll try some other OS's and report back, but others in chat have reported that some Mac and Windows users also are experiencing this topic.

After hosing my installation with settings that caused OS failure I reinstalled and I think I have the freezing issue solved, however this does not solve other OS's freezing topics but only for me on Ubunty 11.10

This time the fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10 with NO Gnome 3 classic install or LXDE or anything else just Unity by itself.
I noticed right away that the default Nvidia restricted driver version 173 was jittery but also not causing the exit on freeze

I installed the latest Nvidia restricted (non-free) driver and still no freezes

I installed compiz-settings-manager and went to Unitilty / Workaround / and checked (Legacy Full Screen Support) this will let the top bar of Unity be hidden as it use to be able to do with Gnome to hide the top bar so that it doesn't eat the uppper portion of the VO screen

Anyhow moving on

So fresh install, latest Nvidia driver, compiz-settings-manager and VO is running good and exits properly

I cannot re-duplicate the freezing thus I assume it must be something with the Gnome or LXDE installation when I was attempting to rid myself of using Unity.

Anyhow FYI for anyone using Ubuntu 11.10 and getting freezing on exit with Gnome or LXDE this might at least lead you in the right direction to fix it.

This won't help anyone with Windows or Mac OS when freezing on exit

Scratch that, still freezing on exit.

For not reason , no updates, nothing changed on the system.
And it's freezing again so likely had nothing to do with Gnome etc.

It just started doing it again, Anyhow FYI

I'm getting a segfault when leaving vo. Settings don't apply, I have to agree to EULA every time, but it doesn't stick around in memory.

Debian Wheezy (testing)
2.6.38-2-amd64 kernel
8G ram
nVidia 9600GT using driver 275.09.07
no compiz, just dwm for my wm on xorg 1.9.5 =)

I'm also getting a segfault and/or hang on exit. In fact, if I click 'Quit' it segfaults, and if I press 'Escape' it hangs.

Vanilla Ubuntu 11.10
3.0.0-14-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 21 20:28:43 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Intel® Core™ i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20GHz × 8
GeForce GTX 560M/PCI/SSE2

With Vendetta 1.8.205, it no longer crashes when I click 'Quit'!

Unfortunately, it still doesn't close properly. Now, both clicking 'Quit' and pressing 'Escape' cause the game to hang -- whether or not I change video options.

I have done some more tested and I don't even have to login but only need to go to the login screen and then exit/quit; and it freezes on exit directly from the login screen in windowed mode.

I have to force quite.
However, In full window mode the it will exit the screen correctly but vendetta is still running in the system monitor; and jumps to 100% and eventually maxes out to 200% on both cpu's then settles down to around 40%

If I try to run vendetta again in full window mode thinking that it has quit it will be running multiple instances of VO in the system monitor if I do not force quite all of them individually so although the screen does not freeze in effect it's still the same cause it's still running and does not quit

Same on my other machine with fresh intall of Ubuntu 11.10 and NO plugins on VO either.

Anyhow FYI

Here is the error log I'm not sure this tells me anything about why it freezes on exit or stays running in the backround but here it is:

I deleted everything and just started and exited so we have only limited text:

Doesn't look like it tells anything about quit errors, only some startup errors which may not mean anything at all
