In other news i still cant get it to work and all i get is a

Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)

anyone had any success witht his problem?

not me. from what i can gather, this only crops up since client v2 and up or when SDL support is compiled dynamically. i wish bioware would release a statically compiled client (just like what opera does). :(

 

ciao!

They legally have to release both, or only the dynamic one... I'm sure it's easier for them to compile it once, and release that, instead of compiling it twice. But you can ask them... I'd like a static binary as well... Perhaps for the final version they will release it like that.

Have not had luck with the previous versions, maybe this one will work for me.

yes, i dont mind not getting a statically linked beta but a statistically SDL-linked binary would be awesome (granted i could launch nwn from it :#:).

Anyone else experience a crash of the game in the peninsula prison level???

Anyone else experience a crash of the game in the peninsula prison level???

 

Apparently lots of people have that crash, and supposedly even in Windows.

 

I don't play the OC until the final client is released. I'm just playing user-made mods trying to find client bugs, so I haven't seen it yet.

[Guest JaseP]

Cool,...

 

I mean, not cool that it crashes, but cool that it is a platform independant thing, which means that NWN is stable on my system now.

 

I LOOOOVE it. Another reason to boot in Windoze is removed...

 

Now if I only had a native Star Wars Starfighter game (I know, FreeSpace 2 is close, but I'd really love TIE fighters and X-wings)... and a good (and I mean good) native galactic expore and conquer type real or turn-based strategy such as MOO.

 

That and tax software (looking forward to using the latest version of GnuCash in Mandrake 9.1, but bummed there is no native Tax Prep software).

[Guest JaseP]

With my AGP speed set to 1X in the BIOS, the 4XXX drivers work...

 

The 4XXX drivers solve the problem.

[Guest JaseP]

I spoke too soon...

 

On installation of the 41XX series driver (not the new unified driver but the rpms), I did an init 5 to get to the x-server. That was fine. On shut-down and reboot, the system went unstable again and the kernel driver failed to initialize:

Found the fix,...

 

You have to add nvidia to the modules loaded at startup.
