@jflory7 Fedora 20 should ship out of the box with working intel graphics; I'm not sure why you felt the need to install some third party repo

yum update from the vanilla F20 repo should provide far better, more stable drivers than any third party repo

@JourneymanGeek could you fathom an NSP that has a retention of 25 years? :o

jflory7

@allquixotic I do yum update all the the time to no avail.

My computer is fully updated from the base repos and the crashing still occurs.

@jokerdino bye

@jflory7 I cant help with linux stuff, but you did see the Very last post of the link allquixotic put up right? ftlgame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=17208 One person thinks they solved one issue .

Michael Frank

@HackToHell That was from yesterday. D:

jflory7

@Psycogeek Mhmm, I did that with no luck. Check the comments on his answer.

I was hoping that would fix it, but no luck :(

links run on forever :-) over here they say "Thank you Ian. Your new Linux bassmod library works great in command line using your contest.c application from earlier bassmod packages. When I try to play something in xmms, after pressing play button xmms quits with message: memory protection fault.
It looks there is some incompatibility with xmms and latest bassmod build. This happens on every module I try to play. Other module plugins work well on this xmms. Of course I remember to enable only one module plugin at a time."

un4seen.com

and 'Oops, the BASSMOD_MusicDecode function was broken. It should be sorted again now..." ??? Sure leave that in the back somewhere where nobody see it :-)

Things i was thinking about, if this was somehow windows, was if they have what could be concidered an uncontrolled frame rate in a game. where a v-sync could be applied , and still get an adequite 60FPS. That the system goes crasy rendering frames that are not even observed. Might not be so great on a IGPU thing. And The prioritys stuff. (which was discussed in one of the links) But it aint windows.

@jflory7 your base libs on Fedora 20 may just be too new for FTL

the double free suggests some kind of heap corruption, likely not even the (direct) fault of BASS, but due to changes in your base system libs since BASS was developed

Psycogeek

Priorities of different threads of the game, when you have something that Balks horribly , then finnaly kicks back in again, as something grabs a few cpu cycles.

allquixotic

since it's closed source, we can't look in there and figure out exactly what's wrong :(

they really should've used an alternative instead of that... oh well

try running the windows version under wine; that may work better ;p

@allquixotic Awwww :(

Oh well, I may just wait for the Advanced Edition to come out.

allquixotic

I want to say that installing a new version of PulseAudio might help, but it's extremely unlikely.......

it's unlikely because this is a complicated application with a lot of libraries and the proprietary nature of the top of the call stack (where the crash occurs) makes it hard to get any context of what went wrong

Psycogeek

@jflory7 Is that like GOTY version? Aka well we finnaly got the bugs worked out and assembled it all in one package, This time for sure .

jflory7

@Psycogeek Nope, they're almost rehauling the game. Tons of new systems, enemies, weapons, sectors, and more!

It's been in the works for a while, but there's no definite date on it

Psycogeek

Well it was there. Overheating or excess CPU use?

From within the FTL options menu, enable the Frame Limiter and/or V-sync.

@allquixotic: hm, your computer is a p8z77 right?

could you check what your onboard ethernet card is?

(I'm having some trouble with mine and one possibility is its misidentified)

Journeyman Geek

k2-solutions.eu/forum/…

I tend to like pcwizard

I USED to swear by SIW but they nerfed their free product a fair bit

@JourneymanGeek There's no free SIW any longer. It's by Gobala?
