ok this crash thing is getting anoying

[genocidal]

no i dont have an ati card it is a 7300 gtxr (gt xpand and rally) ive got a whole hell of alot of crash backtrace logs and of course the error log but i dont know what to do about any of it lemme know what you need and ill send it to whoever

cpu=am2 amd64x2 3800
video=gigabyte 7300 gtxr
ram=2 gig ddr2
kernel=sabayon-2.6.20-r3

p.s. this is insane

Hey, men, you know what I mean when I say I got at least six or seven crash, before I can play, and then, a crash when I'm playing... Maybe it should be nice if you work a bit on these crashes. I'm not blaming or complaining, but sometimes it's really bothering...

:banana: ive only had 2 crashes in the last 6 weeks . BOOO YAH! (wipes it in all your faces) upgrading harware helps. at least thats what helped me. :clapclap:

My hardware is ok:
Intel P4 3.0GHz
1GB Kingston DDR2
ATI Radeon X600 256Mb

I repeat, I'm not blaming or complaining, but only trying to inform that the crashes does not disappear on their own, it takes to work on them...

i crash very few on random occations (but it happens)
but i crash regularly (more or less) after pressing the ressurect button :(

so, don't get killed! :D

[Franz1789]

I get crashes when I'm fighting, when I'm running, when I'm trying to enter the game, when I just click the button "play"...

64-bit or 32 bit kernel? I've had issues running 32-bit OpenGL libs & especially OpenAL libs on the 64-bit sabayon kernel (though not gentoo) in the past (some versions ago mind, so my experience here is a little out of date).

As an indication - the client rarely crashes here (certainly no more than the windows version) and we have 2 machines, I can vouch for the following hardware:

nVidia GeForce 7300GT
PIV 3.2GHz
768MB Memory
(No idea of the specific board, some parts-bin packard bell job :D)

and

nVidia GeForce 7600GS
PIV 3.0GHz (Hyperthread, single-core)
2GB Memory
Intel P965 Motherboard

Tried on Ubuntu 6.10, Mandriva 2007, SuSE 10.2, Debian 4.0, Gentoo 2006.1 (amd64) - each has their own quirks but all are stable - all running and smp kernel.

Upshot is, there is nothing wrong with your level of hardware for playing regnum (Even the 7300GT gfx handles all of the detail turned on _except_ the water and thats due to a bug, not H/W requirements) which means its probably down to a config problem, library conflict or the 32-bit translation layer somewhere.

You could try running in wine since you have a cursor now :) - do you have any 32-bit openAL test programs - if they prove to be unstable it would narrow it down to one place....

Random thoughts:

How's alsa with your sound-card ? (I have to run OSS on the 965 motherboards on-board sound otherwise most games throw a fit over the sound in one way or another - Regnums no exception, but actually better than most with that)

Failing that - which drivers are your running for the graphics card ? I my experience nVidia's own 1-9xxx series are the most stable all round and the open source nv driver is about as desirable as the pneumonic plague.

Are you running Beryl or Compiz ? occasionally the compositing causes some problems with 3D games (heavily video driver sensitive) - with Beryl, just dropping the window manager to the native one sorts that out in a heartbeat (less experience with compiz, sorry).

Does Regnum pause for a long time on startup sometimes - thats indicative of a connection problem somwhere which may be down to a firewall router or your iptables setup.

There have been odd occasions when I've seen the download of various bits choke and cause issues with no discernable source - cleaning out your renum installation results in a painfully slow start next time but may be just the thing to sort the problem.

Finally, try checking the "Update all new resources at once" option at startup - again horribly slow the first time, but one consitant problem here is the client going awol if it's left to download on the fly - it seems to hate that for us.

Hope that helps a little.

i know my hardware is up to snuff

cpu=am2 x2 3800+

ram=2gig ddr2 800

video=7300 gtxr (xpand and rally)

Actually the nv driver is more stable, but it has no hardware acceleration (which is probably why it's more stable), don't diss nv, it's a very good driver if you don't do anything 3d

[icckleblackcat]

lol - not dissing it... but this is a 3D game :D
