Random crashing

[fritzbunwalla]

Hey,

My game randomly crashes at various points, sometimes during the battle screen, sometimes during the global screen, sometimes while loading. No pattern, just a heavy CPU load and then it quits out.

Console of the last crash reads:

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi,

Can you please tell us:

- What type of machine (brand, type, some hardware specs) you are trying to run the game on?

- Exactly what distro and version of Linux you are running?

- Exactly what version of the game you have (2.3.1?  2.4 dev? Did you compile/build it yourself?)

- If you downloaded a pre-compiled package, where did you get it from?

Looking quickly at some of the lines, I do see a few things that might be a little off, but one of the project coders will really have to give an answer as to where the issue really is.

[Mattn]

if you are on linux, please install gdb, run ufo in a gdb session (see wiki debugging) and post a backtrace - without such a backtrace it's almost impossible to help you.

[fritzbunwalla]

Hey,

I'm on Egypt time (GMT+2) so it is getting late here. I'll try the gdb in the morning and let you know what that comes out with.

For now -

I am running 2.3.1 off Playdeb.

I am on an Asus Aspire 1 netbook, so relatively minimal graphics etc, but I have upped my RAM to 1.5gb.

I am running Ubuntu 10.10 with a gnome shell over the top.

It did run a lot better when I closed all other programs, which might explain it as a pure CPU issue.

I am also having a secondary (albeit minor issue) in that is does not remember my graphics preferences when I start up the program, so I have to change the settings to full screen and my resolution each time. This is probably unrelated but I am not sure why it is happening.

Thanks for the help.
