Bug 136768 – Please test and stable games-strategy/scorched3d-39.1-r1

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2006-06-14 05:14:35 UTC]

I would like this version of scorched3d unmasked (locally) and tested.  If it
works fine for you (and it should) then please mark it stable on your
architecture.  This is in preparation for removing the old openal CVS snapshots
and finally making openal sane on gentoo.  This package is also still masked for security reasons, but I am working with the Fedora Extras packager of the package to get that resolved, so no worries there.

[Comment 1 Matthias Langer 2006-06-14 11:07:35 UTC]

i've done some testing with scorched3d-39.1-r1  USE="-mysql" on x86. seems to be ok at the first glance. however, when leaving the game the following appeared in my terminal:

*** glibc detected *** corrupted double-linked list: 0xb772b878 ***

as i was not able to reproduce this problem till now, i cannot provide more details. i'll look after that again a bit later (in several hours). i'm using 
nvidia-glx-1.0.8756  USE="-dlloader" and xorg-x11-6.8.2-r7  
USE="3dnow bitmap-fonts ipv6 mmx nls opengl pam sse truetype-fonts type1-fonts xv -3dfx -cjk -debug -dlloader -dmx -doc -font-server -insecure-drivers -minimal -nocxx -sdk -static -xprint".

hmm, while i was not able to reproduce the bug mentioned in comment #1 i've experienced random crashes while playing the game (the ones that close down the game and print an error dialog). note that i did not really test the game with the suggested fail-save options, as playing scorched3d without sound and minimalistic graphics isn't alot of fun. of course i can do that if desired. for the case it matters, here's emerge --info:

I too got a crash upon entering a new level once. Otherwise, the game works just fine.

[Comment 4 Matthias Langer 2006-06-14 15:53:05 UTC]

i've now also taken a glance at scorched3d-39.1. with this version a was able to play three rounds without any issues. with the new version i was happy if the game did not crash before the first round has been finished.

[Comment 5 Matthias Langer 2006-06-14 17:37:10 UTC]

playing scorched3d-39.1-r1 without sound was horrible, but it didn't crash. thus, the problems i'm experiencing seem more or less tied to openal-0.0.8  USE="alsa mp3 sdl vorbis -arts -debug -esd" and freealut-1.0.1.

[Comment 6 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2006-06-15 14:43:54 UTC]

Thanks... I guess I'll need to work on this one some more before I can call for stabilization again.

[Comment 7 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2006-07-28 09:59:25 UTC]

Better still... WONTFIX, since we've got an ebuild for 40 in bugzilla...
