This crash is just weird - you're getting an error while loading a file, while already in the game, which causes the game to drop, and then you get a crash when the renderer is cleaning up after itself.

Hi.

Just to let you know my upgraded graphics card (nvidia 450 gts) the same thing occurs - I have tried DVI and VGA connectors (not tried in HDMI mode as I don't have the lead but no reason to think it would work)

I will respond to Jitspoe's Linux ticket in the other thread soonish

Just to re-iterate this is how I am getting my gdb logs (in case i'm doing it wrong):-

1. I start ./paintball2
2. I go to a console windows (out of X - i.e : ctrl +alt+f1)
3. I attach myself with gdb to the paintball2 process - gdb -p  pid
4. I choose -  set logging on - then continue
5. I go back to X (usually ctrl+atl+f7) - play
6. it crashes always with 0.32..

Cheers

Ok, seems I was able to repro this crash on my computer at work.  I wonder why it wasn't happening on my laptop (which also has an nvidia card).  Maybe I should try booting with the USB stick at home and see if it's somehow hardware specific.

Interesting - I tried it on my laptop when I got home, and it looks like I'm able to repro it.  Odd that it did not happen with the version of Ubuntu I had installed on it before.  Hopefully I can finally get this fixed, now.

That''s awesome news !

Although 0.30 works 100% fine some servers don't let you in for a while because of the old version...

Thank you so much for looking into this,

I think I've found the problem, but I haven't had time to test it yet.  It seems there was some code that I added for multithreading to avoid some hitches, but the linux version had a pointer instead of a copy of the data.  I guess the different distros had libraries that handled multithreading differently, so it only had the bug on some.

Did the fix work?

I'm still spending 1/2 my time trying to get into servers (but not getting in as I don't have latest version - still on 0.30..)

Is there a test build anywhere or shall I just wait until the next release ?

Cheers

You can compile an own build to test something local. But if you play online with it, you will get a ban for modified content. So there is no way until jitspoe releases a new (pretest-) build.
