Random crashes in 4.1

Post by ATStriker »

While I have gotten no major problems so far, it seems to still randomly crash when jumping or autopiloting while many ships are fighting around me. Can't reprodue reliably but it has happened 2-3 times in 4 hours of playing.

hillariously enough, all 3 times i was about to press the quit keys after i arrived at the station... If you have written code to read our minds, i will be most displeased :( 8)


EDIT: i just read this post and thought "wow that person has the same bug and writes almost the same thing i did" before noticing it was my post. maybe i should go to bed.

in the bin directory of the place you installed it, stdout.txt and stderr.txt is what you need.

how strange...this is exactly the problem we patched...

you downloaded the 0.4.1 release right?

are you playing with or without sounds?

which video card and drivers are you using...if you're using nvidia drivers older than august that could be it....

try without sound for starters
