crashes in win 7
So I guess it is a known problem, but Vegastrike crashes _a lot_ in win 7. In other threads I read something that it might be because of AMD processors or the graphic cards.
I have no idea why vegastrike crashes on my system therefore I ask it here. I already changed a lot of the settings but it still crashes. (Privateer Gemini Gold works flawlessly though)
My system:
AMD Phenom (tm) 2 x4 965 (3.4GHZ)
memory: 8 gb.
Graphics card: XFX Radeon HD 7850 Black Edition 2GB
OS: win 7 64 bit
I also added the stderr and stdout, I have no idea what they inform you about though maybe someone alse knows?

Re: crashes in win 7
Can you run it with --debug=2 and attach the verbose logs? (Also try --debug=3, but I think it might crash even more)
PS: Are you sure you have an AMD GPU? The log looks a lot like an nVidia.

Re: crashes in win 7
Yeah I'm pretty sure, I build this system myself ^^.
Oh I use vegastrike 0.5.1 r1.
how do you run the debug? I tried adding --debug2 behind the quickstart but that doesn't work.. It says MSVCR90.dll is missing.

Re: crashes in win 7
Are your crashes replicable, can you trigger them reliably?
I am not able able to crash VS my win box:
Athlon II x4 620
4GB RAM
Windows 7 64bit
ATI HD 4850 512MB Catalyst 12.4
Anyway, someone has to get a backtrace of the crash to be able to get an idea why it crashes and how fix it.
Are you interested in trying it?
Get/install standalone debugger from here http://www.windbg.org/X86%20Debuggers%2 ... _en-us.msi
Start VegaStrike in windowed mode
Start WindDbg (x86)
File -> Attach to a process... -> vegastrike.exe (it will break/pause vegastrike)
Debug -> Go (to continue)
Wait till it crashes
Post content of debugger window
I think the default exe is built with debug symbols, @phoenixstorm will know for sure.

Interesting... I don't remember ATI drivers giving off those warnings. They must be moving forwardRexmundi wrote:Yeah I'm pretty sure, I build this system myself ^^.

Re: crashes in win 7
The VS binary always has some issue with x64 windows.. though I don't recall hearing about any crashes under 64bit XP.. but how many people here use it anyway.
Finding these x64 errors seem to be hit or miss for the most part. Also, Gemini Gold runs off the 0.5 engine so it doesn't require as much power to churn things out.

Re: crashes in win 7
I installed that programm and I now can play withouth crashes.
two more things though, is there a way to alter the mouse sensitivity in this game because right now even trying to aim at a ship is next to impossible because of the mouse its sensitivity.
and another thing, is there a way to turn of them pirates? I'm getting a bit tired of restarting endlessly just to get a few trade runs through.. *edit: hmm well I just blast them with heat seeking missiles.. takes care of them in one shot..

Re: crashes in win 7

Re: crashes in win 7
Interesting... that's usually some kind of threading issue.
The only threads out there are the music loading threads. Maybe windows' OpenAL isn't thread-safe? Or some threading bug in our end?

Re: crashes in win 7
At least it explains why it is so hard/impossible to catch the crash with the debugger running (can't remember whether I've tested it without debugger).
I could upload a version compiled against OpenAL Soft for testing.

Re: crashes in win 7
With openal-soft I am getting no sound in vegastrike, there must be something fishy going on.
Re: crashes in win 7
@Rexmundi could you try this build(without debugger):
http://sourceforge.net/projects/vegaogr ... p/download
Backup vegastrike.exe, OpenAL32.dll, python27.dll, SDL.dll.
Extract vegastrike_alsoft.zip content into vegastrike directory.
If vegastrike doesn't start at all you might have to install http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download ... px?id=5555

Re: crashes in win 7
Upgrading the AMD Catalyst driver to the current version (12.10) seems to have solved the problem for me. The version I had installed previously was 12.03.
