Closed bug reports / [fixed] r4335: Admin disconnect: Mismatch in reported player # in messages

« on: 29 May 2013, 01:41:56 »

When you try to disconnect the player in the second slot ("player #1", the one after "player #0"), you get different numbers in the messages about the player getting disconnected:

The in-game menu says "player#2":



...while the warning message says "player #1":



I'd say only one of those can be correct.

Closed bug reports / [fixed] r4306: Options menu: Missing English translation of tileset animation option

« on: 24 May 2013, 03:34:30 »

The options menu is missing an English language translation of the new tileset animation option.
I could have fixed it, but I thinks someone needs a lecture. :-P

Closed bug reports / [fixed] r4260: SegF when shutting down (Ubuntu 13.04 x86_64)

« on: 5 May 2013, 16:37:42 »

I just noticed that r4260 failed to shut down cleanly when I used it some hours ago. Sadly I don't have a core file. Here's what I've got:

MegaGlest / Desktop notification when games are played

« on: 3 May 2013, 12:36:16 »

If you like to play MegaGlest occasionally but you cannot host and do not like to sit on the lobby waiting for other players, then you can either

• use the Desktop notification option on play.mg

or install one of these applications:

• MGViewer, developed by Titi
• MGTray, developed by M0ellemeister

Both of these tools sit in your Desktops' panel / systray and display notifications as soon as a server gets busy.

Note that these tools are completely useless if nobody hosts. That is, if you do not host a server from time to time then you should not expect others to make servers available either. This game lives from your contributions, so please host a server yourself, too, and wait patiently then.

MegaGlest / Request for speaker at Dutch national LUG meeting, June 01, Utrecht

« on: 24 April 2013, 09:41:40 »

Two nice people of the Dutch national Linux user group (kaa-ching and DJSlash) are currently organizing a meeting of the group which will take place on June 1st in Utrecht (Netherlands). They are looking for someone to discuss MegaGlest with or in front of roughly 30 people during that weekend, either on site in Utrecht or remotely (the technology to use for this is open to discussion, but Google Hangout, Mumble, or some - not closer defined - open source video calling solution were brought up). The discussion / talk should be in English (I'm sure Dutch would work, too, or may actually be preferred), last 45 minutes (incl. Q&A, if any), doesn't need to be too technical, since the audience can be mixed, including both developers and people who just enjoy using Linux. A basic understanding of Linux will be necessary, though. My understanding so far is that the topic of the discussion can be freely chosen.

Part of the LUG meeting will be a game tournament involving MegaGlest and 2+ other open source games, to be played on the latest available release.

Some unordered, out of context, quotes from IRC:

<kaa-ching> tomreyn: I hope you can ask around if anyone in the dev community of MegaGlest would be interested to do a talk in Utrecht
<tomreyn> kaa-ching: i think we have no adult community members nearby
<kaa-ching> ow :-( How would you feel to do a talk over Google Hangout in that case?
<kaa-ching> your voice (and maybe video) over hangout, your slides running on my laptop
<kaa-ching> it would be cool to use hangout or mumble - both would allow multiple attendees so you can listen in to someone else talking :-)
<kaa-ching> DJSlash: my plan was to just use 3G ;-)
<kaa-ching> I'd say expect 30 people to attend
<kaa-ching> 2 rooms with talks and 3 separate rooms with tournaments
<kaa-ching> general audience, 45 minutes

I think anyone who has a solid understanding of MegaGlest (I'm happy to pass on what I know), a basic understanding of Linux, and an idea of how to do a presentation or workshop will be able to do this talk / workshop. It would be much preferred if someone could do it on site (which is probably not an option for me). Remote attendance is also a real option, though.

I think we should get back to them no later than the coming weekend, so let's say our deadline to decide should be April 28.

Is anybody here generally interested in taking on this - you can be sure of my support. Got questions? Just ask.

MegaGlest / Test results: Snapshot (r4227) on Ubuntu 13.04 with Intel/ATI OSS drivers

« on: 23 April 2013, 07:09:50 »

I just tried the latest MegaGlest snapshot (r4227) on my intelbox (Intel GMA X4500MHD, more specific specs below), running (and booting) off a USB 2.0 key on Ubuntu 13.04 - and what can I say:

MegaGlest worked well, right out of the box!

Results:

• GLSelectBuf still works fine there - no selection issues
• The red custom mouse pointer works well
• 30-40 FPS while playing against a CPU on Conflict with Desert2 tileset, with a minimum of 23 FPS with debug view on, all values based on 800x600, with just a ~5 FPS decrease when switching to 1280x800
• No visible problems after activating texture compression (but also no noticeably increased FPS)
• CPU load was low or not elevated (the fan remained silent, and it would not when under load)

Minor issues:

• It feels like units move a bit slow, but I'm not sure why this is, can't put it into words
• The right-click-walking-instead-of-attacking issue is still present
• My locale was auto-detected as LC, a language file for which was not found, so MG defaulted to english.lng

Not or not sufficiently tested:

• Multi-player
• CPU (I did not actually inspect how load spread across this systems' two cores)
• Memory allocation (I did not check at all)

Summing it up: I'm excited.

MegaGlest / MegaGlest 3.7.1 in Ubuntu 13.04 pre-release VirtualBox

« on: 20 April 2013, 14:38:51 »

I've just installed an Ubuntu 13.04 pre-release + all currently available updates on VirtualBox 4.2.12 (host system is my atibox), then tried to install and run MegaGlest 3.7.1.

Here's my experience (pretending to be a first-time MegaGlest user on a freshly installed Ubunt 13.04):

• After downloading the file from http://megaglest.org (we did not update Debian / Ubuntu packages in time for Wheezy or Raring sadly), I needed to locate the downloaded file which Firefox placed in ~/Downloads, using the file browser available on Ubuntu's Launcher by default.

• Having found the file, I did what's discussed at http://megaglest.org/installation.html (a web page the download page pointed me to) - I right-clicked on it, selected "Properties", clicked the "Permissions" tab and activated the "Execute: Allow executing file as program" checkbox

• Then I double-clicked the file and the installer started and guided me through the install process.

• Once the installation was complete, I was back in Unity, but there was no obvious way to start MegaGlest (no icon on the launcher). However, as soon I typed "megaglest" into the dash all the options ("MegaGlest 3.7.1", "MegaGlest Uninstall 3.7.1", "MegaGlest Map Editor 3.7.1", "MegaGlest G3D Model Viewer 3.7.1") would show up
• I clicked on the "MegaGlest 3.7.1" icon - nothing (notable) happened
• I was a bit stuck at this point, looked at the "installation" web page again, also at http://megaglest.org/get-started.html and the README file the installer had opened for me. The first two did not help at all, and the README file just said: Please check the FAQ and read up on the forums for more verbose instructions. (not giving out the locations of these)
• I looked at http://megaglest.org again and after a while found the FAQ link there, pointing to http://faq.megaglest.org
• On this huge page, I missed the list of contents because it is not shown by default, but when I found out how to show it I was able to identify my issue as:2 Issues running the game -> 2.1 When I click the game icon nothing happens/a window just opens and closes -> 2.1.1 Linux
  I decided to follow those instructions which involve working on a text terminal.
• So I opened a terminal window, by clicking on the Terminal icon on the launcher (pressing Ctrl-Alt-T works, too), typed "megaglest" and got:
  The program 'megaglest' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install megaglest
  That's kind of irritating since I just had it installed
• I realized that the installation I did was not an Ubuntu / deb package, and that the FAQ actually said I should find those files in ~/megaglest by default, so I typed:
  cd megaglest, which worked, then typed ./megaglest to start the executable in this directory, and got this:

./megaglest: error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
tomreyn@ubuntubox:~/megaglest$


• So I was stuck again here, this time with an error message. The FAQ said this was to be expected at this point and that I should search both FAQ and forums for more info.
• I searched the FAQ for "error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.1", "libopenal" and "openal" to no avail.
• I searched the forums for "error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.1" and the only thing I could come up with was this: [solved] libopenal.so.0 cannot open shared library, 3.3.7beta2, kubuntu 10.10 and this didn't really help
• So I searched the web, and after looking around a bit I came across other people who had run into this error message, and had done this to fix it:
  sudo apt-get install libopenal1
• So I tried this: sudo apt-get install libopenal1 and then I ran ./start_megaglest again and now I got this:

• So another error, and things seem to have only gotten worse.
• So I registered on the MegaGlest forums and posted and, after I went through the hoops involved in registering there, I posted an error report.

Altogether, this wasn't a great experience. :-/  (At least this last issue can be due to VirtualBox / virtualization, though.)

Update: It works with VirtualBox 4.2.12 after installing the (non-packaged, image CD) guest drivers provided by this version.

Closed bug reports / [fixed] r4213: --validate-techtrees=x=purgeunused deletes techtree localizations

« on: 7 April 2013, 11:03:21 »

When you run --validate-techtrees with the purgeunused option it will delete techtree localizations / translations. Techtree localizations / translations are legitimate files used by the game and should not be deleted.

Example output (kindly provided by Atze, redacted by me):

Bug reports / 3.7.1, r4209: Screen flashes during startup

« on: 29 March 2013, 01:36:53 »

When I start up the game on 3.7.1 or r4209, the screen flashes shortly with white stripes on an otherwise black background on my atibox. It looks like this can be due to some initialization taking place there.

I've had this issue with 3.7.1 and still have it on r4209, but it's not prevent on 3.6.0.3. 3.7.0 has a similar issue, there the main menu screen shows during this initialization (and before the intro starts).

Here's a video of head of trunk. A screenshot of the frame with the flash (roughly at 1 sec playtime) is also available. It's really short, so not a big issue, but it wasn't present in old versions.

MegaGlest / Emulating network latency on loopback interface / LAN

« on: 22 March 2013, 21:17:38 »

Lately we tend to have the need to reproduce issues which are limited to WAN connections and are difficult to reproduce when running two instances of MegaGlest on the same host (or on a LAN). That's because there is (almost) no latency there:

Code: [Select]

root@atibox:~# ping 127.0.0.1
PING 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=0.025 ms
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_req=2 ttl=64 time=0.025 ms
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_req=3 ttl=64 time=0.022 ms
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_req=4 ttl=64 time=0.024 ms
^C
--- 127.0.0.1 ping statistics ---

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.022/0.024/0.025/0.001 ms
root@atibox:~#

Luckily, on Linux, it's rather easy to inject arbitrary latency on a given network device:

Code: [Select]

root@atibox:~# tc qdisc add dev lo root netem delay 50ms
root@atibox:~# ping 127.0.0.1
PING 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=100 ms

64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_req=7 ttl=64 time=100 ms
^C
--- 127.0.0.1 ping statistics ---

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 100.046/100.062/100.075/0.239 ms
root@atibox:~#

To undo, run the sme command with s/add/del/.

This is not a fully adequate emulation, though, since you always have the same latency, so packets will still arrive in the same order, and you're not emulating any other properties which would be varying on a real network link. It's worth a shot, though.

For more complex tests there are WANEM and dummynet:

• http://sourceforge.net/projects/dummynet/

Forum discussion / Forums moved to forum.megaglest.org

« on: 21 March 2013, 00:58:23 »

Hi all,

as you may have notivied the forums have moved to a new location: https://forum.megaglest.org

The Glest team has kindly passed over management of these forums to the MegaGlest team (and set links and redirects on glest.org), acknowledging that MegaGlest is now the most active and likeable continuation of the Glest legacy. (The latter is my personal interpretation.)

We appreciate the trust the Glest team puts in us by passing the management on this central community hub on to the MegaGlest team (and Omega, who has kindly offered to continue to manage the board), and are looking forward to creating the future *Glest* forums, by means of restructuring this resource to make it even more usable.

We will happily continue to cooperate with and host the other Glest forks here, in fact we'll be happy to grat you access to your subforums by means of a hostname of your choice - please get in touch by e-mail or IRC.

Your feedback on technical and privacy issues is also very welcome, please post here or mail webmaster at megaglest dot org.

For a small technical update, I'd like to point out that the forums are now SSL only, this will prevent spoofing on your forum passwords. So now is actually a good time to set a new password (something one should be doing every 6-12 months anyways). When you do, please make it at least 8 characters long, consisting of all of letters, numbers and special characters, and make sure it's not a term found in a  dictionary or a name (doing so is ok when you use a full phrase). We'll get in touch soon to discuss (in more detail) what today's changes mean for forum account holders.

Thanks for your time,

Tom

Closed bug reports / [fixed] 3.7.1 / r4191: Incorrectly reported checksum mismatch when mods change

« on: 15 March 2013, 18:55:18 »

When a network player connects to a server (whether or not headles does, I think, not matter), and is lacking the currently set map, then this user is offered to download it. The user downloads it, the checksum test takes place, and there is an informational message saying that the map was downloaded successfully.

If, however, while the download takes place, the server admin decides to switch to a different map, then the checksum test will compare the checkum of the downloaded map to the map the server admin just set, which is different, and obviously has a different checksum. So in this case a checksum verification error occurs even though the downloaded map is probably fine.

This is a long standing bug, and I think it doesn't just affect maps but all kinds of mods.

Sadly I'm not sure what I did to trigger this, other than connecting to a game which was in-progress, disconnecting from it and quitting the game. I also don't have a core file (ulimit -c = 0). I do have the DMP file (please let me know if you'd like this analyzed).

Closed bug reports / [fixed] 3.7.1 / r4186: Hosts' player name is nulled on "reload last game"

« on: 14 March 2013, 12:10:23 »

This is actually an old bug, and it's not grave, would fixing it would still be nice:
When you host a game, then move (yourself, so the "human" player) to a different slot, then click the "reload last game" button, your player name will vanish off the player list (it is apparently overwritten by an empty string there). The game still remembers your player name, since you will be correctly named in the lobby and in-game chat and your name also shows up on the end of game stats correctly. So it is just lost on the player list (but should not).

Closed bug reports / [fixed] r4168: Timeout when pausing a simple network game

« on: 8 March 2013, 01:04:28 »

Today I was testing with Jammy and Filux where I was hosting and they were clients. We played several games. In two of those game, one of them was crashing for reasons which were insufficiently described. When one of them crashed, I paused the game, told the remaining cconnected network player that I would discuss the matter on IRC with the other player who segfaulted - just to learn that the other player timed out when I turned back to him on the running game.

So I tested this again with Titi, he was hosting this time, and we just started a default game and paused it right at the start. Lag was increasing constantly until "0 [20.0]" and more (only the number in square brackets increased, never the first one), and while lag eventually reset it would then increase again to way too high numbers. At the same time we were chatting without noticeable delay.

My game printed the following to the terminal at that time:

Bug reports / 3.7.1: Lack of error handling in case of modified game data

« on: 6 March 2013, 17:14:12 »

While donig so is a very bad idea for several reasons and I keep telling people so, it's a fact that there are several people who, instead of using separate techtrees with faction links, add extra factions to Megapack. This can result in (non-fatal) errors like the following:

From my point of view, people  with broken game data who join a server I host should be unable to trigger errors on my side. To this end, it may be necessary to handle this situation better, which could include disconnecting players with such modified game data.

Closed bug reports / [lacks info] r4162: Crashes with "double free or corruption" during network game

« on: 4 March 2013, 01:27:27 »

Today I was hosting a game on my atibox, running a headless server there. Titi, Filux and I (using my intelbox), all from western Europe, and all using broadband DSL or better (fiber in my case), remotely connected to it. The server as well as all of our clients were running r4162. This game (which Titi described as "game 5") was a pretty standard 3vs3, on the "Loggerheads A1" map, with tileset "Desert2". The game generally went well, but some 20 (?) minutes into the game my CPU load got pretty high, and remained like this. At the same time, FPS was very low for me, just about 3 to 4 FPS. In fact, my two CPU cores were constantly maxed out by MG (that's according to htop, also the fan was spinning at top speed), and Filux reported the same (unusually high CPU load, very low FPS). At once Filux dropped out with an error. He didn't provide me with any technical details about his crash, nor did the server ("Filux has disconnected"). At this point my CPU load decreased a lot, to the point where my CPU fan was hardly noticeable and even off.

Sadly, some seconds later, my client crashed, too.

On a side note, as you can see in the crash log, we have a duplicate .dmp file extension there. I think this needs to be fixed, too.

So I needed to create a symbol dump. Please note the warning message in this output, too.

And from the symbol dump, I was able to get a stack trace.

Closed bug reports / [fixed] r4150: megaglest-saved-client.xml recursively included

« on: 1 March 2013, 08:40:39 »

I was just trying the improvements on joining in-process games in r4150, testing with two processes on my intelbox (see below for specs).

This is what I got on the client while it joined the game:

At the same time the server was doing well, but as soon as I tried to quit the game it froze.

Edit: Note that I was playing with two processes (server and client) spawned fromt the same build (same computer, same directories) and this error looks like it can be related to this.

Closed bug reports / [fixed] 4141: reconnect option: Player gets (timeout) early in the game

« on: 25 February 2013, 22:47:24 »

Titi and I did some testing tonight:

First Titi was hosting, and I connected to his server, we both had r4141, and the option to reconnect / connect to in process games was active. I was connected form the very start of the game, though. I got a timeout about three minutes into the game. I think Titi also got a timeout then (or maybe a segfault?)

Then I hosted without the join-in-process-games option and Titi connected as a client before the game was started. The game setup was very similar. We started the game, and could play without issues for several minutes.

Then I hosted with the join-in-process-games option and Titi connected as a client before the game was started. The game setup was the same as before. We started the game, and both the server and Titi's client reported timeouts after just one or two minutes of gameplay.

We reproduced this two more times. Apparently this issue only occurs when the join-in-process-games option is active.
We also took network reliability measurements (using "mtr -i5 IP_ADDR" vice versa) but there was no increased latency between us.

« on: 25 February 2013, 13:55:34 »

The "summoner" headless game server has vanished off the masterserver lately, so I inspected the situation on the server. I found the megaglest process still running. An attempt to connect to it from my computer failed, but it took quite a while until it did. The servers' log files contained this:

Bug reports / r4130: Rejoin: Issues with joining in-process games

« on: 19 February 2013, 07:49:01 »

So joining in-process games works since r4129 without going out of synch - that's great.

Some non-fatal issues remain, which I'll list for later:

(1) When a new player joins an in-process game, the illumination of the veteran players's units and structrues sight range is lost (Softcoder: this is not yet fixed for me).

Screenshot:



The player who took this screenshot owns the structures visible here. As such these buildings and their immediate sourroundings (view / sight range) should be illuminated, but they are not. Similarily the units standing behind the main teepee have lost their illuminated surrrounding. To work around this, it's sufficient to move these units.

Apparently this issue is limited to the illumination of the sight/view range. The behaviour regarding whether or not enemy units are visible is correct.
In this screenshot, the enemy units (battle mages) attacking a non-illuminated structure (main teepee) do show properly (and, as expected, become invisible as they move away further):



(2) When setting up a game, clicking on "Reload last game settings" visually restores the settings of the last game properly ("Players can join in game" is ticked and there is both a CPU and an open network slot), but factually nobody else can connect to this server, both while the game has not started, and whle the game is in-progress (client runs into a connect timeout). Unticking and again ticking the "Players can join in game" box fixes this issue: other players can then connect both to before the game started and while it's already in progress.

(3) Even when all participants are on a LAN connection, a player joining an in-process game will have constantly high latency, around 3-5 seconds minimum. On Internet games, this is more like 10 seconds minimum, and can easily cause players to time out. The same players can play on the same server just fine and without increased lag if they play from the very start of the game.
When a players joins the in-process game (and thus has large amounts of lag), there are also complete freezes every ~ 2-4 seconds lasting for ~1-2 seconds, and, just during these freezes, heavily increased CPU load on two (which are maxed out) of four CPU cores.
(This report refers to r4132.)

(4) When a player who previously joined a game when it was already in process disconnects, the game freezes for a second or longer. This is way longer than usually when a player decides to disconnect or is forcefully disconnected.

(5) When a player connects to an in-process game, then disconnects and the same or a different player tries to connect again, s/he is unable to connect. (This report refers to r4132.)

(6) When a player connects to an in-process game, all pre-existing players should receive a notice that someone is joining, explaining the pause. Currently only the game host receives it.

I received this error message when I was playing a game hosted on one of Treba's engineer headless servers on the Five On Three map, playing with three other humans (supposedly all using 3.7.1 on various platforms, located in europe and south america), against three mega CPUs. All other players also received an error message (I was not able to get feedback on which message they received exactly "these messages are too long so I don't read them") at the same time I received mine, so the server seems to have failed.

MegaGlest / Where the game is non-intuitive for newbies

« on: 26 January 2013, 01:32:19 »

I've tried to sum up some of the issues I often see newbies (and sometimes not just them) run into. These are recurring issues which may make the game less attractive to some and can turn them off, so once we have a list, we should probably also think about those can be fixed.Options: way too many options here, need sub menus / separate screens

• Lobby: Generally no idea how to use this. The hard to read light-blue list of servers on top are often not considered servers you can connect to.
• Lobby: They often do not realise this has a chat.
• Lobby: They often do not realise that a chat is a way to meet other players, as is sitting on a server for a while.
• Lobby: They will often start by clicking all buttons, saying something like: "MG_newbie_123MG_someone_42tomreyntiti_linux" (all on a single line) because the purpose of the buttons is unclear. This still happens with some people who have been using the game for a while. Most of the time newbies will also not realise who they are in the chat which can result in them trying to talk to themselves.
• Lobby: Even when they understood that some game servers are listed on top, it remains unclear who can play on them and how they can be played on. They need to find the [>] button placed to the end of the server lines, and understand that clicking those will connect them a given server.
• Game hosting vs headless servers: Many seem to assume that there are and can only be "the official servers", i.e. the headless servers which are listed most of the time. The concept of hosting their own game (and getting listed on this screen, too) is often a miracle.
• Lobby vs game hosting: Sometimes noobies will try to host a game, and even if this actually works they just return to the lobby (after sucessfully announcing their game), then see their game listed and try to connect to it (which won't work, as it is actually no longer available since they stopped to host the game). This is surely irritating.

This isn't fully complete, I may add more later.

Mods / Source code management vs Dropbox vs Google Drive

« on: 18 January 2013, 05:06:13 »

I've been loosely following the 'MegaGlest refit' thread, and see how some of you are running into issues which have been solved elsewhere. It's may feel late for a change by now, but I think it's still worth considering, as well as for similar projects in the future:

Neither Dropbox (at least the standard non-business variant) nor Google Drive are proper team collaboration repositories for souce code or asset management. While Dropbox offers versioning, it's not really meant for source code management and lacks related features. It's also not primarily meant for group collaboration on versioned resources. There are free alternatives which are exactly meant for what you do and facilitate work in groups, such as Github, Sourceforge, Gitorious and several others.

Amongst other, these offer:

• versioning, so you can roll back if you made a mistake, be it now or 10 months later, and you can compare changes to textual files easily.
• repository distribution (git does), so anyone can work with your data without needing your permission, but your permission is needed to merge it back into your main repository; this allows for easy access: no waiting for approval before you can get started to hack on it / contributeM the distributed nature also provides you with a form of remote backups (while, should dropbox go out of business or change its business model, your data is lost)

Also noteworthy, here's a quote from Dropbox TOS:

Dropbox reserves the right to terminate Free Accounts at any time, with or without notice.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a Free Account is inactive for ninety (90) days, then Dropbox may delete any or all of Your Files without providing additional notice.

Several modding projects have experienced data loss in the past due to unlucky choices made regarding storage nad interoperation mechanisms and providers, as well as reliance on a single external parties. It would be great if this rate could be reduced in the future and I'll be happy to discuss the various options in more detail if anyone is interested.

Closed bug reports / [lacks info] r4021: Linux64 game host freezes after first command

« on: 13 January 2013, 20:24:38 »

I would not know how to reproduce it, but for completeness I'll report this anyways and tag it with [lacks info]:

I was hosting a game today on my atibox (specs below) with the EnableNewThreadManager option set. The host was using r4021 and there was a single client which was using 3.7.1. The game (with the other player against AI players) started up fine, but as soon as I had given my workers the command to dig some gold (I'm not sure whether or not this worked as a trigger), the game froze. The OS mouse pointer was still moving but I could not interact with anything in the game, and the workers had frozen, too. The music continued to play. I needed to kill -9  it to make the megaglest process stop (plain 'kill' did not work).

Here's a backtrace on the frozen process (I did 5 in a row, and they all looked exactly the same):

The client just received a "timeout waiting for server" message (as expected).

I guess this can be a mesa issue, it's hard to tell. After this game I played another game with similar setup (i was hosting on the same revision and with the same INI setting, and there was one other human player on 3.7.1 as well as some CPU's) and there were no such issues
