Targeting crashes the game
« on: January 04, 2010, 09:43:01 am »
Hey,

seems like a problem with my graphic card but decided to post anyway.
It happened first time to me and only in one mission, yet.
When I want to shoot with a weapon, the game crashes after selecting the mode of fire.
It reproduces almost always from the attached savefile.

Ufoai: 27728 updated from svn, using pk3 though
Running: Debian 2.6.30-1-686
CP: HP Compaq 6530b
Card: Mobile Integrated Graphics Controller
Driver: intel

I attach a backtrace file.

Hope it helps,
Petr

hi.
this is not related to a gfx problem - but a tracing problem

maybe related to http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2921231&group_id=157793&atid=805242

Yes, that seems precisely the same problem.

I think I'm experiencing this problem also. Attempting any kind of shot instantly crashes the game.

Attached is a save game with a mission in Anchorage, a portion of the ufoconsole.log from where I load the save and the crash message windows gives me. It loads Alien landing - Industrial, there's a drops ship ready and waiting to go for this mission. Almost before you arrive a second mission in San Francisco, +farm, appears where this problem does not occur.

I'm now using the 28412 build. Attempting to fire when in the Anchorage mission now drops me back to the geoscape but the game continues. The +farm mission in San Fran is playable as normal.

Like I said in my other post, load the save, fly to Anchorage and try to fire any weapon. In build 28338 the game would crash with the error massage in my previous post. In 28412 it doesn't crash but you are ejected from the battlescape to the geoscape. The mission still appears on the geoscape. Like I've said a couple of times, this doesn't happen with the other mission so it's probably specific to this map, Alien  landing - Industrial.

Attached is the ufo console log from after I load the save.
