[b29] Game froze

#1 Post by Dwarf_Hammer »

Using the 'shoot' talent may sometimes cause the screen to go completely black for a split second. In the scintillating cave (level 3), the game froze when shooting at crystals. The cpu maxed-out and the screen went blank.

I'm getting the same thing while shooting, and using turn back time's double targeting. I did not have the whole screen go blank, only the ToME window. This did not lead to a crash, and after moving once I could see again, although some monsters did not appear with their tile (but could be looked at). Some were displayed right away.

Ubuntu 11.04, i915 driver.

This happened in Abashed Expanse 1, with my higher archmage when casting Lightning and targeting using the mouse. I was able to use the keyboard shortcuts to get the Windows desktop, but my mouse was completely disabled. I was eventually able to tell task manager to shut the game down, at which point I got my mouse cursor back. Nothing in log indicates what the error was that causes this, as it ends with:

Code: Select all

[LOG]	Amethrar hits losgoroth for #ROYAL_BLUE#28 lightning#LAST# damage.
[LOG]	Amethrar hits losgoroth for #ROYAL_BLUE#28 lightning#LAST# dam
and just dead-ends there.

Playing 1280x800 fullscreen, with Shockbolt 64x64 tiles. Switched video drivers from Acer propietary to NVidia reference 275.33 before upgrading to b29, a lot of the b28 graphical errors are gone.
Having satellite internet is a lot like relying on the processes described in those RFC's for your internet. Except, instead of needing to worry about statues interrupting your connection, this time you worry about the weather. I have satellite internet. Fun, no?
