[fixed] r1296, Linux: Still 'freezing' in menu
« on: 17 December 2010, 19:44:05 »
I still have the issue we have seen a few weeks ago. When you start the game and enter the "Internet game" -> "Custom game" menu, your screen output goes dark and stays like this, unless if you're lucky and someone connects to your game host which is when the screen output returns to normal.

Here's some backtraces I made while the screen was black. Note how they differ:

For the record, this is a debug build made with cmake.

This no longer happens on current releases and development builds, so we can safely assume this is [fixed].

It's still happening on r1301 on the 'Custom Game' menu:
(click to show/hide)

Possibly an interesting side effect is that as soon as I use the megaglest-fakechat script I did once (which emulates the first few steps of a MG client connecting to the server) to connect to the server screen output does not just fully recover but the framerate is as high as never before. It looks like the game tries to catch up on what the renderer could not deliver while the screen was black. After a while then, it returns to normal speed (apparently depending on how long the screen was black).

If you need any further logs I'll be happy to provide them. Are those backtraces of any use at all? I suppose they are not, since they vary much?

r1304 still has this issue, but now whenever I try to get a backtrace I get the exact same one:

(click to show/hide)

This also happens in the LAN menu when you are searching for servers on you LAN:
(click to show/hide)

Maybe it would be a good idea to downgrade a little to determine which change introduced this issue - since it hasn't been present this way in the past?
