Nex 2.0 hangs and stuff

"in fact, Windows XP is able to display a problem report like we want it:..."

Im on win2000pro and already checked the event log without success. There is no "send problem report"-dialog on w2k so there is no blue link either I remember that I kicked drwatsons ass some months back (i read that he happily collects garbage) so I disabled something. Maybe it was the logging part, dunno.

but it seems that my problem is solved, I just played again 4-5 maps in a row and no crash occurs, so I'm quite optimistic that the recompilation did the trick, thx. you didnt say what you meant with the batch trigger-thingy?

A method to start the build from another computer. Without owning a free computer for Windows in my case...

Oh, ok, nope thats not possible here.

today I compiled the darkplaces-sdl sources with newest sdl libs and running the exe gives me nearly stable 85fps which is my mon refresh rate. So I would recommend everyone who is using the sdl version to (re-)compile it on his own.

Well that hint is fine but i find it harder to do this on windows then on linux.. Especialy if people are not developers and have no clue about Dev-C++ or MinGw. (So they do not have to buy something just to compile DP..)
For that reason we have to find out whats wrong with the official build and fix it!

yup, you are right there for sure esteel, there are enough free tools available nowadays though (mingw/gcc, vc++ 2k3 toolkit and visualstudio express edition ( http://blogs.msdn.com/danielfe/archive/ ... 79109.aspx )which is now free to use even if you want to use it to build commercial apps (as far as I understood).

But I agree that not everyone is willing to/experienced enough to build darkplaces himself. Just wanted to report that it helped me doing it.

Add to this that the mingw32 build is making trouble for one poster here while a Visual Studio build isn't... for that reason I'd really like to know what's wrong with my mingw32 installation. Can you try building on Dev-C++ or mingw32+msys in the current versions and check if that build is better? In that case, I'd replace my mingw32 version by that very version and check if it's better then.

@divVerent:

As I said earlier, I didnt manage to compile the dev-c++ project due to this warning "Warning: .drectve `/DEFAULTLIB:"uuid.lib" /DEFAULTLIB:"uuid.lib" ' unrecognized". I wasn't able to spot any pragma comment or something which contains this in the sources, if you tell me how to get rid of the warning I could try it again.

[esteel]

How about mingw/msys installation then?
I think i have the latest version installed at home so i might compile a binary later. But sofar i only tried to compile the wgl version. Never bother with getting the sdl version to compile..

My idea would be ignoring the Dev-C++ project and compiling using the Makefile, given you have programs named "make" and "sh". If you don't, these are in MSYS.

Ok i comiled a binary: http://esteel.planetnexuiz.de/nexuiz/misc/nexuiz.exe
I (think) have installed: MSYS-1.0.10.exe, MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe
