Pretty often the game crashes when the loading percentage reaches 100% now. With .129 in a backup it doesn't seem to happen so it most likely started somewhere between that version and now. It desn't matter if any plugins are loaded or not.

If the game mades it past loading screen it works normally, except that it doesn't shutdown cleanly when I exit it.

This is with the 64bit version on Arch Linux and catalyst 10.6.
It also seems to happen with 10.5, but downgrading was a bit iffy so I'm not sure if I got that right.

The crash reporter doesn't pop up. So here's a backtrace:

This is what Iget when I exit the game:

I've had a fair number of sudden crashes to desktop approximately since the .129/.130 update. No warnings or anything in the log. The game had been running pretty much rock solid since I joined except the odd plugin related crash

Amd Phenom 9250 Quad 8gb Ram
Windows Vista 64 Home Premium SP2( I know)
Geforge GT230 driver version 7.15.11.8576

Possibly unrelated, but still..

Ok, thanks. I'll check it out. A lot of things changed between .129 and now. Basically all the changes needed for the android platform were incorporated into the other platforms.

It seems that the changes may be exposing obscure bugs in your video card's opengl driver.

I think this is related to the fullscreen glow setting. I had glow set to ON in the first post.

If glow is OFF the game works fine, setting it to ON at run time crashes instantly,
Changing it from OFF to HQ works but HQ also makes the game crash on startup and exit.

Thanks. That narrows it down a bit.

Ok, See if the new 1.8.133 update fixes this, please.

Nope .. sorry it still crashes.

Ok, I managed to get ubuntu installed on my x86-64 machine with a Radeon 5870 (or 5780 or whatever).
It does crash on exit if glow is enabled but does not crash when done loading if glow is enabled.

Thanks.

Yeah ..I just checked it against ubuntu.
With the drivers in the repo it only crashes on exit and when switching glow from ON to HQ. I think the driver version is 10.4 or some beta.

With 10.6 it crashes on startup in ubuntu aswell.

drivers as in ATI Catalyst driver? I'm using 10.6 for my test.

Yes catalyst 10.6. I checked in the control center and xorg log to make sure it's using the right driver.

This is a clean install of ubuntu and the game, the only changes I made was to remove some junk, install the latest updates and catalyst by building packages with the installers --buildpkg mechanism.

After updating to a catalyst 10.10 beta and the latest X I can enable glow again without crashing. Not sure if it's that or some change in the game. I haven't tried it recently and can't really downgrade anymore to check so.. whatever ..glow!
