Summary 0005685: Sometimes crashes or hangs up at start time
Description 2 variants :

a) the game shows the start screen for a brief moment and closes then. (most of the time with "crawl.exe has encountered a problem and must be shut down" or whatever it says in english - in very rare occasions it closes down without notification.

b)the start screen hangs at "loading databases" (process explorer shows that no cpu cycles are used - game uses up to 150MB memory (working set) but will never respond

I never encountered this kind of behavior until the latest trunks
(I am using XP SP3/Pentium4 2,8)

PS: there are no crash files in morgue or crash

I have same problem, except I also get random crashes when going to title screen after dying. Don't get any windows messages at all.

At first I had the same problem, then one day my crawl build stopped working at all, always hanging on loading databases with error sound in background. WinXP sp3

or b)
(the programm closes without crawl.exe encountering a problem....)
there is a file (????_appcompat.txt) in x:\documents and settings\Username\Local Settings\Temp after each crash which shows :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<DATABASE>
<EXE NAME="crawl.exe" FILTER="GRABMI_FILTER_PRIVACY">

-----------------------------------------------
Sometimes (most of the time) but not always there is an error log entry in the event viewer which points to msvcrt.dll
-----------------------------------------------
Maybe someone with a better understanding can interpret this

Sadly, this is only a list of loaded modules, rather than an actual backtrace. I don't know how to obtain usable ones on Windows.
