0.5.6 RC Bugs/Issues

[DaveYY]

Well... but it is not in my src ..? Indeed I'm playing with the hg code
hg clone https://bitbucket.org/sumwars/sumwars-code
hg update default

and in my: src/core/document.cpp
I still have:
   if (player->getDialogueId() != 0
            || (player->getRegion() !=0 && player->getRegion()->getCutsceneMode () == true))

This is the output of hg summary

Hey.

I found some strange phenomen:
Sometimes (not always! seems to happen randomly..), when I try to start the game by clicking on singleplayer, the game freezes with the menu bars and the cursor in front of a black screen and if I go into Taskmanager then, I get a message my driver died and got recovered. (I kill the game then.)
So far, I´m only Lvl 4 and I´m always starting in Medair, so it shouldn´t depend on the location.

Is this a known bug?

Have you tried updating your drivers? I don't think we do anything that should crash a video driver.

I don't even think it should be possible to crash a driver, so its a driver bug

Hi.
What branch and shadow settings are you using?

[greengecko]

I´m using the official 0.5.6 release (the windows portable).
Graphics settings:
Fullscreen, 1280x1024
Shadows: Simple (Higher Quality)
Graphics Engine: OpenGL

As I said, it seems to happen randomly..

[dezGusty]

Hmm... I thought maybe it was something caused by the shaders, but they are not in the default branch... so it's not that...

[greengecko]

Well, I´m gonna try out to reproduce the problem with directx as graphics engine.
But it could also be a graphics driver prob, I dunno..

[fusion44]

Have you tried updating your graphics drivers?
What card are you using?

[protogenes]

ATI/AMD did a huge fuck-up with the latest (two) driver version(s)... I get bluescreens out of nowhere now, while not even playing a game.
greengecko, afaik you are using an AMD GPU, so you might try an older version as well.

[greengecko]

I´m using an APU ^^
A8-3870, the GPU is an HD6550D.
But it´s a bit complex with the drivers and the APUs :/
There still is some unsolved bug for the APUs in the driver..
I´m using Catalyst 12.1.
I think I´ll try 12.3 when it´s out.

[protogenes]

My problems came with 12.3
I'm currently trying 12.2 because i was using 12.1 before. Lets see how this goes.
Maybe there were already heavy problems with 12.1 which just didn't occur on my system. Well, APUs are still special....

[greengecko]

Well, I didn´t change the driver or anything.
I tried around 15 times with OpenGL and same with Direct3D9, but suddenly I cannot reproduce the issue..
