SVN Crashes

[Caret]

Hi
I've been trying out the latest SVN (12556), and it has been crashing regularly within a few minutes of launching. Sometimes it happens as soon as I launch, other times it's when I'm in the middle of a bounty mission.

The gdb outputs seem to differ each time:

Built on the 32bit version of Mint Linux 7, same thing happens under KDE and Gnome. Turning off the second monitor doesn't make any difference. Using version 180 of the NVidia drivers.

Is there anything else you need to know?

Edit: Turning the sound effects off in VSSetup seems to have helped.

How much memory do you have and how much swap do you have allocated as it seems that music is involved so try with out music instead of without Sfx.

Enjoy the Choice

Maybe another thing worth checking is the "Sound" setting in vssetup; for the record, the VS SVN on my Debian Sid is set to "All Sound" and it works flawlessly. The choices are only 5, checking them all shouldn't take long even in the worst case that they all fail.

Hi
Setting the sound to 'No Sound' fixed it, the music doesn't seem to be a problem. I didn't notice all the references to sounds until just after I posted. (:

I've got 2Gb of memory, and kept an eye on the system monitor. It didn't seem to be running out.

The new additions since 0.5.0 are looking good. (:
Thanks
