Bug 141481 – nwn 1.67 crashes after "Loading Area"

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

Never Winter Nights (1.67) crashes after the "Loadig Area" message is displayed when the game is starting up.  

I am guessing that the issue is related to OpenGl.  I am using the nvidia opengl implementation (nvidia-drivers-1.0.8762-r1) and using eselect to set the opengl to use to nvidia.

I also tried switching to the org-X11 implementation but get the same result.

When I tried loading an old saved game from windows the nwmain process seemed to run away.

I have attatched an strace from 'strace ./nwn' in case that may be useful as well as emerge --info.

Created attachment 92547 [details]
strace ./nwn and emerge --info

Contains both emerge --info and strace ./nwn

Try 1.67-r1 instead...

[Comment 3 Fabio Bonfante 2006-09-13 18:56:41 UTC]

happen to me too with a "strange" resolution like 1152x864... a standard 1024x768 or 800x600 "fix" it. In the game GUI all works with any res.

on amd64, stable, nwn 1.67-r1, nvidia-drivers-1.0.8762-r1

I have no problems with 1440x900 using 1.68, can you try this version and see if it fixes the problem for you?

[Comment 5 Fabio Bonfante 2006-09-18 17:19:48 UTC]

seems ok for me now with 1.68

[Comment 6 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2006-09-18 20:10:41 UTC]

OK.  I'll consider this as FIXED, then.

Thanks.
