Nexuiz crashes whole system

[Gut_Eater]

Hmm, it seems that winXP needs a floppy-disk with the SATA-drivers during installation. Unfortunately i dont have a floppy-disk in my PC.
So i have to take it from my old PC just for installation. What a crap. I would not install any Windows on my PC, but i wanna check, if i have the same problems with nexuiz (or the nvidia-driver) as on Linux.
I hope i get that done tomorrow.

@Monstrosity:
I did test nexuiz with no extra-maps installed.

@all
Thx for your replies!

Back to topic.

I started nexuiz in gdb like divVerent discribed in this thread: http://www.forums.alientrap.local/viewtopi ... ight=debug
I used nexuiz-linux-686-glx.

This is the output of gdb:

Code: Select all

It seems, that some maps dont lead to a crash. I can play aggressor, downer or farewell like normal. But changing to warfare or soylent make nexuiz run like in slow-motion until it freezes or crashes. I can only see the sky then, not the map itsself.

I hope the gdb-output might help.

One step forward!!!

If i deactivate the OpenGL 2.0 shader in the menu, i am able to play as usual. No crashes or freezes or whatever.

Is there a problem with the GL_Version of nvidia-driver?

Code: Select all

^7checking for OpenGL 1.1.0...  enabled
^7GL_VENDOR: NVIDIA Corporation
^7GL_RENDERER: GeForce 8600 GTS/PCI/SSE2
^7GL_VERSION: 2.1.1 NVIDIA 100.14.06

Are more things than OpenGL 2 turned off, if i run nexuiz with "-safe", or is it the same?

[divVerent]

-safe turns lots of features off.

If you are absolutely sure that you installed everything right, ask on the nvidia forum.

Well if its really the shaders that make it crash you should report that bug.. glsl shaders are not allowed to crash an application from what i gathered

Well, i am not 100% sure, but it seems that the driver was installed correctly. I dont know how to prove the opposite.

I will report the issue in the nvidia-forum.

So let´s see ...

it seems to me like your pk3 is messed up. Try opening it in winzip or file roller or whatever.
also check to see if all your shaders are there/intact...

That's very unlikely, since a currupted pk3 should have cause errors while extracting nexuiz-<bla>.zip

also check to see if all your shaders are there/intact...

Even more unlikely, since the shaders are hardcoded in the engine binary...

[divVerent]

No matter how messed up the PK3 is, the engine shouldn't be able to hang the whole system. If it does, the bug is on nvidia's (or maybe on Linux's) side. So IMHO it was right to report it on the nvidia site... and maybe the upcoming update will fix it for you.
