Many of you have heard me talk about kernel panics, fuzzy textures, and what not. Well, thanks to Kastin, I induced the bug again and got many screenshots:

G5 1.8 GHz
1.5 MB DDR400 RAM
Radeon 9600 Pro 64 MB
doshaders = 0

HOW did you induce it?

I really have no control over it. If I am in Vendetta long enough, it will happen.

It always happens when I load something. For instance, dying and returning to another home sector, undocking, viewing ships, or warping. If I stay in long enough the system will freeze, the screen will return to system gamma, and the "you need to restart your computer" dialog box (with no buttons) will appear.

I've reported it 3 times, I think, now.

That's nothing! /me points

Vendetta does some WEIRD things with textures.

Roguelazer, is that recent? I used to get that whenever I changed video modes with the old Linux NVidia driver. The problem you saw is not with textures, it's vertex buffers.

We can't help it if the drivers are buggy. Many of the bugs SirCamps sees are now fixed, I think. Guess we should release that fix.

Lol, guess you should.

The bugs of Roguelazer's I remember him posting several months ago, way before 3.3, at least.

I hope to see if this bug is fixed!

My bug is old, yeah. It happened when changing from console to X sometimes. I don't think it happens anymore, and my console is DirectFB now, so I don't think it would be the same anyhow. I was just using it to show that you guys have weirder texture bugs than any other game on the planet... Although, http://well-of-souls.com/homeworld/hws/hw2/images/display.htm?GThrower.jpg

lloool that's great!!

Well, with 3.3.4, it looks like this bug was fixed. Great job, devs!

Bug still persists. I logged off before it happened. I'll bug report it next time.

Yeah, I had it happen again.
I managed to get Vendetta compiled using the newest gcc 3.3 from Apple last night and I didn't have the problem. Maybe the compilation went screwy? I dunno. Maybe I need to do a complete rebuild? Anyways, the next update will use the new gcc 3.3 compiled program if I don't find anything wrong with it.

Sweet deal. I'll keep sending bugs as it occurs.

Question: Would you rather have me let the bug run its course and crash the computer, and upon restarting send you a bug, or quit immediately when it happens and send a bug before any crash?

the same texture bugs occur on windows...
