mkpalos:
Hi all, I just downloaded this and the geoscape seems to run fine. Like the poster above, I've run into two issues:
* I've only heard one sound so far. It's the pinging sound to notify you of an available UFO mission.
* The game crashes to desktop upon entering a battle after an interception. The map loads, I see my troops, then bam, desktop. No error messages. I've attached a console log to this post in the hope that it is useful. I'm running 10.6.3, if that helps.
On a minor note, I see some UGV equipment but no UGVs for sale anywhere. If I've read the TODOs right, though, that's to be expected.
Mattn:
this looks like a segfault, it would be nice if you could try to run it from commandline and post the xterm output. and in case you get the crash again and it's reproducible, please let us know which map, which team and so on (attaching a savegame might help).
the most useful information in case of a crash would be the debugger backtrace - see the wiki debugging article.
mkpalos:
Okay, I'll try running it from the command line. I saw the debugging article on the but there wasn't any mention of Mac debugging--are Mac backtrace instructions posted anywhere else?
The specific map doesn't seem to matter; it seems to happen on every map. The most recent one was Africa.
I've attached a zip file with a saved game.
Mattn:
it the same on all plattforms, you just need gdb installed

Hi all. I posted a few days back, haven't heard anything but I have played with it a bit since then. I was having trouble with the game crashing when it loads a mission map. Sounds a bit like what mkpalos reports, except sometimes I could play and it kicked me out of the map mid-mission. Anyway, I've found I don't have those problems at all if I leave the resolution at the default of 1024x768. I get crashes at 1920x1200, my preferred setting. If I try to set it to 1600x1200, it changes resolution several time then bumps me back to the menu at the original, low resolution. Hope that helps.
