0.10.3 on Windows XP sometime hangs on startup

[white_noise]

I play Crawl offline version 0.10.3 on Windows XP and when I run crawl-tiles.exe it hangs my PC completely at least once in every 5-10 times. In such case PC won't answer to anything (including ctrl+alt+del) and only understand hard reset. It's kinda annoying, so maybe someone can give me advice how to cure it? Or recommend more stable version of the game?

PS
It only happens during start. Game never crashes while playing.

My computer doesnt hang, but Crawl itself does every 5-10 times I start it, too. Windows 7 here, maybe that's why. It'll also crash when going from the morgue screen to the main menu once every 5-10 times I do it.

I am not familiar with version 0.10.3. To my knowledge, version 0.10.2 was the latest official release. See http://crawl.develz.org/wordpress/
Development versions will crash on occasion. The developers are pretty good about fixing those problems. Just download their latest and hope for the best if you are taking sneak peeks at the development version.

[white_noise]

You get 0.10.3 if you click "downloads" on main site.
It called "Latest stable release".

I used to only play the development versions, but since the advent of version 10.2 there are so many new features and changes to game play that I think Crawl stable really does satisfy. I'm not pining for new (and untested) anymore, not willing to brave the bugs and random stuff. I admit to being curious about what is on the horizon, but you know what, I'm going to make a backup of 10.2 before I install any new version, because in my opinion 10.2 is about as golden as it gets. I always say that though but the next version will probably be even better.

[edlothiol]

0.10.3 is not a development version, it's (as white_noise said) the latest release of the (stable) 0.10 series. That means that there's no new features, but a lot of bugfixes compared to 0.10.2.

[white_noise]

There is something strange going on...
I have two versions of crawl. Both are trunk 0.11-a0-3198-g6e5327a. Both are exceptions for antivirus and firewall. But one of them are unmodified and with another one I mess all the way. And the strangest thing is that unmodified version is crashing in a manner I described before, but the one I mess with is not. Also it loading much faster. Like five times faster. No way I can remember what I've changed and where, but I wonder what it can be, that makes it work so much better?..

[galehar]

sounds like sqlite might be involved. Maybe they are not compiled with the same version or one isn't multithreaded.

[white_noise]

It seems that line "tile_skip_title = true" is the reason.
Although i need to test it little more.

[Grimm]

It seems that line "tile_skip_title = true" is the reason.

!!! Tiles was refusing to run on my machine, so I uncommented this line and now it runs!
Version crawl_tiles-0.11-a0-3198-g6e5327a, Windows 7.

[Grimm]

Latest trunk (crawl_tiles-0.11-b1-109-g4b0fc20) ran fine as downloaded, without uncommenting this line, but when I quit and set some auto-butcher options, it doesn't run, even after uncommenting this line.

Deleting it and trying a fresh download = doesn't run.
Uncommenting the above line on the fresh download = extra screen flashing, but still doesn't run.

[white_noise]

Yeah, I guess this line don't matter after all. But I bet it's something in init.txt
I've found out that my active 0.11-a0-3198 trunk (the one I am playing all the time and the one that works the best) uses tiles_options.txt from 0.10.3 release with minimum settings. Maybe it helps. Although the 0.10.3 itself was crashing. What a mystery...

[white_noise]

The problem persists in 0.12 trunk. This is most unfortunate.

[galehar]

I reported a similar bug which I thought was specific to native windows builds (the downloadable files are cross-compiled from Linux). For me, the symptom is that it randomly fails to load one of the database file. Maybe I only get the error message from the console version, can't remember. Anyway, I just try it again without changing anything and it simply works after a few tries. I think it's related to sqlite.

So instead of trying to change options or reinstall or anything, just try it again several times. If it works, please add a note to #5354 to say that you are affected by the bug and give your system specs and game version etc...

[white_noise]

I have the remedy. It works. I just don't know how and it's bugging me. Also I'm afraid that some new features may won't work properly.
Anyway, when I use my old 0.10.3 init.txt and tiles_options.txt everything is fine. Although the 0.10.3 itself is not fine, which is adding confusion.
Here is these magical files:

  Code:

# Crawl Init file
#
# On Unix systems (such as Mac OS X, Linux and the BSDs), you must copy
# init.txt to ~/.crawlrc or ~/.crawl/init.txt as:
#   cp init.txt ~/.crawlrc
#
# Lines beginning with '#' are comments.  The basic syntax is:
#
# field = value         or      field.subfield = value
#
# Only one specification is allowed per line.
#
# The terms are typically case-insensitive except in the fairly obvious
# cases (the character's name and specifying files or directories when
# on a system that has case-sensitive filenames).
#
# White space is stripped from the beginning and end of the line, as
# well as immediately before and after the '='. If the option allows
# multiple comma/semicolon-separated terms (such as
# autopickup_exceptions), all whitespace around the separator is also
# trimmed. All other whitespace is left intact.
#
# For descriptions concerning an option consult the file
#    options_guide.txt
# in your /docs directory. Also note that the ordering of the options
# is taken from that file; this is for presentational reasons only.
#
# Note that all boolean options (i.e. values of 'true' or 'false') have
# their non-default value commented out. You can toggle these by just
# uncommenting.
# Options with several values, e.g. drop_mode = (multi | single),
# usually have the first value as default.
#
# The options for monster glyphs and item colours don't matter for Tiles.
# Similarily, tile options are ignored in console games.

I tried your files on crawl_tiles-0.11-b1-123 on my machine and the did not run in ten starts. It also didn't run in ten starts with "tile_skip_title = true" uncommented, nor did it run in ten starts with everything default.

[white_noise]

Remedy works with all trunks up to 0.12-a0-492-g06f276, but won't work with 0.12-a0-580-gf3578aa.
Is this makes any sence?

[Grimm]

I just ran trunk installer and it installed fine and ran normally. I played for a minute or two then alt-tabbed to the browser, then a few moments later Crawl crashed and won't run anymore.

A few more tries later and the installed version will start, but do nothing but freeze the mouse pointer slightly (it can move a little) and hang. I have to force quit.

[Grimm]

Messing around with Win 7's rightclick troubleshooter sometimes helps it run, when I choose to run it as if under XP service pack 3. It is inconsistent though.

Might it be a 32bit/64bit incompatibility?

[mumra]

Trunk works great for me on Win7 64bit, so it's something else. I read recently about a Hotfix that was causing packets to get dropped on downloads leading to corrupt files. Try running any new Windows Updates then re-download and re-install Crawl.

[Grimm]

I did updates, then retried it. Double clicking didn't work, but right click "run as administrator" did. I played a few turns, quit out, then doubleclicked - it ran fine.
I quit out again and doubleclicked - crash.
Tried Run as administrator again - crash.
Changed compatibility to XP SP3, doubleclick - crash.
Compat XP SP3, run as administrator - ran fine.
Quit out and tried again - crash.

[mumra]

You downloaded again then reinstalled, right? Try installing to a different directory so you have a "clean" folder - something in there could be corrupt (although I'd have thought that corrupt files would produce a crash every time not intermittently).

It definitely shouldn't need XP compat, I've always run it fine with no problems in default mode.

There was a change to the way config files work in 0.11 (http://crawl.develz.org/wordpress/crawl-0-11-arachnophobia) - are you using a modified config? If so revert to default and see if it makes a difference.

[Grimm]

Yes, that was a clean install of the zip file.

I just tried a clean install of the installer. Half the time it works, half not.

[Grimm]

After playing for about an hour, I tried several to take a screenshot with alt-printscreen, but when I pasted there was only a plain black field. Then the game crashed.

[Deimos]

I think the plain black field comes up whenever you try to use the printscreen key on a fullscreen program, so that's probably unrelated.

[Grimm]

Yes it's always worked in the past, back when the default was nonfullscreen. I'll try it again.

[mumra]

At this point I would suggest the problem has to be one of:

• User data corruption - i.e. your save folder C:\Users\Grimm\AppData\Roaming\crawl - or wherever it is
• Corruption in Windows files or drivers (you could try using the system repair thingy you can get into from bootup, or use System Restore to rollback a few versions)
• Driver/dll conflict - I think sound support has been added to Crawl in the last version or two so maybe it's a conflict with your sound card driver? Or you could have a mismatched dll version floating around somewhere (although Windows 7 should be able to handle multiple versions of the same dll, it could be that a faulty installer has somehow messed things up)
• Physical hardware problem - an intermittent failure in gfx card, memory, hard disk, or just about any component really. Check your fans are working and hoover out any dust to make sure something like your graphics chip isn't overheating! Unfortunately with a random and intermittent problem, hardware faults are usually the most likely cause.

Maybe someone knows how to get some kind of crash dump to better diagnose what is actually failing?

[Grimm]

It's a brand new laptop, purchased in August. Everything stock. Crawl was one of the very first programs I downloaded - natch - and it's the only thing I have problems with, apart from a few other games that worked on XP but don't work at all on 7. Everything else works fine, the fan etc. is clean as a whistle.

[BlackSheep]

Crash notes would appear in the morgue folder if any were created.

Do you see anything about the crashes in the windows Event Viewer? (not sure if it's still called that in Win7)

That doesn't rule out the possibility of hardware problems, I've seen plenty of brand new components with faults, although yes it's unlikely if everything else works! On the other hand I've had extremely few problems getting older software working on 7 so if you have other games with problems it could indicate something.

Oh, also, if it's a new laptop that usually means dodgy built-in OpenGL drivers. See if there's a custom (meaning non-Microsoft) OpenGL driver for your video hardware.

On galehar's suggestion I changed the graphics driver to the one from the card manufacturer (Intel). Didn't change anything.

No morgue file. The Event Viewer has hardly any of the crashes, though it did have this:

Some chips have crappy OpenGL drivers even from the manufacturer. Can you try console?

[Grimm]

Console runs fine. Never had a problem with it.

So it does seem like it's a driver problem. Maybe look for another one or try to change OpenGL settings if there are any. Also, try testing other OpenGL softwares, like glxgears.

[Grimm]

I played with the OpenGL settings (looks like the first two images here) but Crawl continued to crash and started to take the graphics control panel with it.

Ran glxgears then Crawl, and Crawl crashed and took glxgears with it.

Where would I look for other drivers?
