Chrome 6.0.472.62 Windows crashes playing Capman #5

Closed bonder closed 13 years ago

Chrome repeatedly crashes trying to play this game with audio on. Using canaudio=no the browser does not crash.

Chrome 7.0.517.8 dev does not exhibit this issue.

Since seems fixed on the next version of Chrome and the games worked good on the previous versions, I vote for trying waiting for the next browser release. Meanwhile I stll have problems on running Windows software but I'll try to have a look to this issue too. Let me know if next releases of Chrome still have this issue (or solve ;) )

OK. In case it helps, I ran the games with statusbar=1 and captured which item numbers the games crashed on (also the exact file, since I ran fiddler side by side to watch the http traffic):

Leave Me Alone: crashed on item #12 (logo.png) Solitude: crashed on item #12 (font.png) Legend of Sadness: crashed on item #7 (fontbig.png) T-Spin: crashed on the actual game page game-tspin.html Cap-Man: crashed on item #3 (font.png)

Also: 7.0.536.2 dev does indeed now crash in these specific places as well. :(

I've tested the 6.0.472.63 on Mac without major crashes so could be some architecture related error - usually are because of browser bugs. Browsers shouldn't crash because of javascript (older browsers can freeze up on endless loops but nowadays long executing javascript is automatically stopped - no crashes for any of these cases) so probably a bug on Chrome should be opened - or already exists. If you can get more info on which part is crashing, we can try to check if can be solved on the Akihabara side or identify which kind of bug report we have to open.

Seems that the games are working with the latest stable version of Chromw. Closing - let me know it there is something I'm missing.
