2.0.0 freezing all the time...

Saturos · Post by **Saturos** » Tue Jan 18, 2005 9:48 pm

I compiled the 2.0.0-release from the sources on my SuSE 9.1-laptop and played for a while without problems. But then bzflag started to freeze on nearly every server.
Most of the time I join a team and when I hit "i" or my right mouse-button and the tank lifts up out of the ground bzflag freezes right in the moment when I want to start moving. Sometimes I am able to play a bit and it freezes without any significant reason after a few minutes... the only thing I can do then is to perform "killall bzflag" to get rid of that ghost of a program.

Any idea what could be my problem?

I also run SUSE 9.1 and don't have any problems. I played some hours today no freese at all.
May this is a driver/hardware issue. What hardware you have and which driver versions ?

The other command does not work.

Ow, one addition: If I start it from console, it freezes, I kill it and then I look back to console, I see the following:

pure virtual method called

Maybe its important.

Taminator · Post by **Taminator** » Wed Jan 19, 2005 11:18 pm

lspci is located at directory /sbin, but /sbin is not in a normal user path.
So you have to call it with

Code: Select all

/sbin/lspci -vv

but to output full information lspci needs root rights, so you have to start it as user root an root has /sbin in path

For the output you get "pure virtual method called" , i'm not a 3d guru ... maybee some developer can give you a hint what's going wrong.
With the information you have to collect for me in can only search if there already known issues and workarounds on your hardware/driver

And now?

intel integrated graphics are evil. make sure you have current drivers.

Taminator · Post by **Taminator** » Thu Jan 20, 2005 10:02 pm

The outputs all looks ok no hint to a problem.
Sorry, i don't know much about the 855GM Chipset. But i searched the net a little bit and found not many problems related to 3d accelleration with this card. So the only thing you can try is to make a online uptdate (if not already done) and check if this fixes the issue.

Saturos · Post by **Saturos** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 6:17 am

I know now the problem... everything is fine if Track-Marks are turned on. If I kicked them off and the game started to freeze... strange but acceptable. Thanks for helping!

Post by **trepan** » Sat Jan 22, 2005 7:46 pm

Just fixed the problem in CVS. It only seems to occur when
not using the depth buffer. If you have H/W rendering (aka
a video card), then I strongly encourage you to turn on the
depth buffer. It will increase your FPS, and generally make
the rendering better.

Saturos · Post by **Saturos** » Sun Jan 23, 2005 10:45 am

On 1.10.8 the FPS went down when turning on the depth buffer so I disabled it in 2.0.0 too. Did that change since 1.10.8?

Taminator · Post by **Taminator** » Sun Jan 23, 2005 1:07 pm

Yes, i also noticed much local jitter and less FPS in 1.x with depthbuffer turned on and ATI binary only crap drivers .... but this is gone with 2.0.0
