[Linux] BCS freezes his own windows

i've tried to use BCS (already patched 1.30) on a CRUX 2.1 (kernel 2.6 and devfs) but when i exit game it freeze and i'm obliged to kill it and obviously i loose all my game's record.
I've tried on a Slackware-current (kernel 2.4) too and when i exit game it makes a kernel panic!!

Tell me what addictional info do you need for.

Have you tried turning the sound off?  Also do you have write permission in the BCS folder?  Are you running BCS from the console in it's folder?

yes, i'm already doing it on CRUX 2.1 & Fluxbox-0.9.13 but it still freezes.

i've only now tried ./bcsnosound and it works fine. But in the past i didn't have any kind of problems... '>


This is my actual OpenAL config:

Code Sample

acrux@vesuvio:~$ crux CRUX version 2.1 acrux@vesuvio:~$ cat /usr/lib/pkgconfig/openal.pc prefix=/usr exec_prefix=/usr libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib includedir=${prefix}/include Name: OpenAL Description:  OpenAL is a cross-platform 3D audio API. Requires: Version: 0.0.8 Libs: -L${libdir} -lopenal Cflags: -I${includedir}

i'll asap test on Slack-current too.

That is strange, have you made sure your OpenAL is the latest version?  Let me know what you find out.

for OpenAL i use my own port:

Code Sample

acrux@vesuvio:~$ cat /usr/ports/acrux/openal/Pkgfile # Description: OpenAL is a cross-platform 3D audio API # URL: http://www.openal.org/ # Dependencies: cvs libvorbis libsdl # Maintainer: acrux name=openal ## this is the last OpenAL-1.0 release ## version=1.0 issue=0.0.8 date=20050504 release=it1 source=() build() { #       cvs -d ':pserver:guest@opensource.creative.com:/usr/local/cvs-repository' co -D$date $name         cvs -d ':pserver:guest@opensource.creative.com:/usr/local/cvs-repository' co -r Linux_Spec1-0 $name             cd $name/linux         ./autogen.sh         ./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr \         --enable-optimization --enable-alsa --enable-vorbis --enable-sdl #       --enable-arts         make         make DESTDIR=$PKG/usr/ install         cd $PKG/usr/lib; rm libopenal.so.0; rm libopenal.so         ln -s libopenal.so.$issue libopenal.so.0         ln -s libopenal.so.$issue libopenal.so }

After the last Pat's update (20/07/2005 - slackware current changelog)
BCS now seems to work without problems on Slack current.

mmh.. nothing. On the Slackware it seldom freezes (and kernel panic) yet. On CRUX i must kill BCS with a really high signal... '>

This should be fixed in the latest version.
