Strange crash to Desktop in CA 3041 (stable)

Post by gavinfoxx »

Okay, running the dell inspiron mini 9, with ubuntu 8.04, using the default graphics drivers for the integrated intel graphics card. I am connected to an external monitor that goes up to 1280 x 1024. I am able to get the latest Balanced Annihilation and the latest Maximum Annihilation to work. This crash happens even if I set the graphics settings quite low. This is happening in CA 3041.

Here is what happens: I select the map, select the mod, press start, and the loading screens work normally, then I get to the countdown, and then it centers on the Commander. For the next few seconds, everything is working fine, I can select the commander, maybe hear some noises, hear what the enemy is doing, etc. But within maybe five seconds, the Spring program itself closes, and I am back to the lobby and desktop. No error message happens. Any help with diagnosing or troubleshooting this would be appreciated.

here is my infolog:

Try the new stable. jK fixed a bug in 3041 that was causing it leak memory on some systems.

I figured it out, it apparently didn't like the AI. But an odd thing, it only shows the colors/textures for some of the units, seemingly selected at random. Is there any way to make sure that the textures and colors show up on ALL units? Also, it runs really slowly... is there any way to lower the detail level for the special things that this mod does in particular?

Sounds like you dont have otacontent.sdz? Only showing some texutres?

For the things this mod does in particular, you can disable lups from the f11 widget menu. You can disable distortions and other lups effects using the lups.cfg in your spring folder.
