1.0.32: crash upon starting using software renderer

Post by **wildweasel** » Sat Feb 02, 2008 0:21

Using just wwhc-diaz.wad, playing Strife in OpenGL, I noticed the textures were getting messy (due to my system overheating a little - unrelated issue). So I decided to switch to software mode and restart. Boom, it crashed.

I tried it again in just Doom 2 with the same wad file loaded. Still crashed. The attached crash report is from the Doom 2 session.

I suspect it's this bug

Also, the textures "getting messy" could well be another known-about problem.

If it is that, it seems to be particularly common in strife. Either disable brightmaps or get the latest SVN revision and set the GL_CLAMPING_BUG option to stop it.

Well, as I'm currently without the necessary tools to use SVN (and don't you have to compile it, too?), I'm currently just using ZDoom.

Not a problem at all. RazTK grabs the source and compiles it and then sticks the compiled version on sourceforge usually within a very short space of time of the source being updated:

At the time of writing, the current version is r16 which has proven to be a very solid version so far.
