i use the updates/installer from Muton (Win32 Development Binary Installer Links) with the early update (rev 30745) i got no problems like this.
I dont know which rev broke it, because i cant create my own compile on my PC.
it is between rev 30745-31015

Too bad :(

Anybody else (on svn) who experiences crashes/asserts in g_ai.c ?

I had this issue I flxed it by:

-Disabling GLSL shading
-Going to fullscreen
-Putting UFO: AI in XP (SP2) compatibility mode.
-I'd suggest running as administrator (I didn't have to do this as I have UAC turned off and this is a administrator account so it defaults to administrator rights)

Things to note after doing the above:

-Do not change from windowed to fullscreen or fullscreen to windowed (battlescape will crash if you transition to or from it or do this while in it.)
-Do not re-enable GLSL (EVER!)
-Do not change gamma level while in combat it will crash (Do it before or after combat)

Which revision do you play?

I dont think that glsl shaders are in context with a crash to desktop from end turn button... if that game got a problem with glsl shaders it wouldnt not even load to battlescape or i would have graphic issues, same with the other problems that you talking about there is no relations with this bug.

we are talking special about END TURN/ FINISH ROUND button, i just want to be sure there is no mistake.

I don't know what revision it is. I downloaded the game directly from the home page like 3-4 days ago it was 2.3. Well in my installation of the game GLSL is definitely the cause of my problem. The funny thing is GLSL requires a video card that supports OpenGL 2.0 and mine supports all the way up to OpenGL 3.2.

@Outlaw:
In your original post about GLSL shaders you described a crash on *starting* battlescape. Here it is 'end turn'. I don't think they are related. Thx for trying to help anyway :)

@Kobold:
I tested with r31016 yesterday and did NOT have a crash at EoT. Does it really crash for you *every* time you press that button ? btw 31016 only seems to differ in sounds.

Maybe it happens only in rev 31015?  i try it on 2 different missions around 6-7 times every time crash.
possible this error only appears with the download from 2.3stable + muton's update to rev 31015!?


if anyone could me upload a new update im interested to test a newer revision.

Assert error:
my bad, will look into it shortly. I shifted some code around and this is what you got for it :/

check latest trunk and see if it's ok now. PM me directly if it's not.
