crash when starting game on Vista #76

Closed pphaneuf closed 10 years ago

pphaneuf commented 10 years ago

Separated out from issue #66, about problems with 1.2.0rc4 on Vista, originally by tino.miegel:

At the moment i start a game (single player, clicking start when joining a internet-server from nx or replay a game from the highscore list) quadra.exe crashes.

Windows Vista Business German, SP-1 here.

This problem was not discussed much, and could certainly use more information... Is it reproducible reliably, or did it just happen a few times? Did you try the SDL version, does it have the same problem? Have you tried debugging it (I know you were in the process of setting up a development environment)?

As always, more information is always welcome! At the moment, we haven't seen any crash on starting a game or when replaying a game from the highscore list, but we did see some use of uninitialized memory, some of which we fixed (hmm, in SDL, at least, I will take a look at trunk).

I can't get the DX-SDK from Aug07 to install, it complains about to few space left (2 gig free) or a corrupted cab :/

I just give up with trunk for now.

SDL r612 is running compiling&running fine. I can play single-player, net-games and replay savegames with no problems. So i'll continue getting used to to code base and testing the SDL branch.

Of course i'll give rc5 another try on Vista when the binary comes available...

Stéphane should take a look before we roll up the release (but I think we looked at this before and that it was okay).

From what I understand, Stéphane did look using his Vista box, and didn't found anything, so we never could reproduce (but we did fix some code issues that could have caused this indirectly).
