#9070: Crash on launch: Win32 summer edition + 9/4 patch

by ctate on 09/17/2007 00:39

I just installed Sauerbraten for the first time, Summer Edition 2007/08/29 + patch 2007/09/04, but alas it crashes immediately after the init phase. The crash is reported with an error dialog reading "Sauerbraten Win32 Exception: 0xc0000005 [0x8]". Have other people had this experience with the game as it installs out of the box? And does anyone know what to do about it?


Console output when run from cmd.exe:

Your graphics card is really not good for playing Sauerbraten. Intel cards=NOT GOOD. sorry.

Then what would be the point of the two different libraries? It'd simply be two different ways to say the same exact thing, and if that were true, we'd already see DX functionality on other platforms. It wouldn't be that hard to write a library that allowed you to use DirectX nomenclature and command structure if it ended up being the same as the equivalent OGL.

Were there a common instruction set (or two equivalent), why would you want two different rendering libraries, especially when one could be developed faster.

Anyway, we ought to drop this now. Agree to disagree?

I know the Intel onboard graphics chipsets are low-performing, but that doesn't explain outright application crashes. Is there a bug tracker for Sauerbraten yet?

Your OpenGL driver is buggy.

Go into your sauerbraten directory, edit the init.cfg file, and where it says:

shaders 1

change it to:

shaders 0

Alternatively, if there is no init.cfg yet, edit sauerbraten.bat and add the -f command-line switch, then run that bat file.

Funny... Sauer runs fine with Debian Etch, a Core Duo @1.73GHz, 512MB RAM (128MB set aside for X), KDE 3.5 (with a lot of effects turned on), and a GMA950. Hmmm...

#9078: Server help

by tailsfanatic on 09/18/2007 02:32

I was running a server fine, but I was continually updating it. It worked fine before, now all of a sudden when I try to make one the command line displays the message 'your server did not respond to ping - check your firewall settings.' I never changed my firewall settings before this happened. The only thing I changed was that I was using -lneonpanic at startup. But I stopped using that command and it still won't work.

Please Help

Okay, time to to bring out the statistics and calculus questions for the captcha. The spambots are getting too smart. :(

Though, think if we could harvest this trend for the common good: make them take the most difficult Turing test conceived, in hopes they catapult AI research centuries ahead.

Yes, AI research would really benefit. This board however would become deserted like sand around the Sarlacc. =D =D

Better AI could mean better bots.

One of the hard problems in chess is to make computers make human-like mistakes, after all!

Honestly, even if the bots are dropping in a random number, they're bound to get in eventually.

Hey! Here's an idea: Instead of using a bot readable font for the math puzzle, why not use a non-bot readable series of images instead? Seems to work for almost everyone else.

Just not the wavy unreadable stuff. please.

It says "Please move the directory containing Sauerbraten to a path that doesn't contain weird characters or start Sauerbraten manually."

But no matter where I move it, the message pops up. What do I do?

Sorry for the noobish question.

Change the name of the directory. Don't use anything but letters and numbers. If you've just gotta have a space, use the underscore instead.

Or we could have a set of simple questions: "Name the author of Cube." The odds of a bot getting that are astronomically low (and it may save us some time too).

So you're on a mac. You may have changed the directory structure - and the sauerbraten application requires that the sauerbaten folder is alongside it.
