Re: Game crashes
There are a variety of possible reasons. These might depend on the version of FreeOrion you're running, your operating system and your graphics card. Please attach, in a zip file, the log files from the directory containing config.xml on your system, which is discussed here:

Re: Game crashes
I'm running version 0.3.13 on windows xp home with an ATI Radeon Xpress adaptor 1150. Attached is the requested, zipped Config.xml file

Re: Game crashes
Geoff asked for the log files from the directory the config.xml is in, not for the config.xml itself.

The files you posted are all .log files, not .txt.satanicusmaximus wrote:I dont see any files with the log extension in this folder allthough the three exaples you listed appear as txt documents. Attached are these txt documents
Anyway, your client dies when trying to set up map rendering. You appear to have OpenGL 2.0, so this code should work, but for some reason it's not. Try going into options, galaxy map tab, and disabling fog of war scanlines, optimized system rendering, galaxy map gas rendering, and galaxy map starfields rendering, and then starting a new game. If that works, you can try re-enabling these individually to see if they a) work and b) work with reasonable frame rates, which may depend on your specific graphics hardware.
You do have an ATI card though, which have been known to have some unfixable problems, unfortunately. I can't say from the log whether this will affect you, so try the disabling options suggestion...

Re: Game crashes
Tried that. Seems to get to freezing a bit quicker now. You want the log files again?Geoff the Medio wrote:The files you posted are all .log files, not .txt.satanicusmaximus wrote:I dont see any files with the log extension in this folder allthough the three exaples you listed appear as txt documents.

Re: Game crashes
I fixed my problem by downloading the latest graphics drivers for my hardware. The game now creates galaxys without freezing. Thanks for the help.Geoff the Medio wrote:Yes.satanicusmaximus wrote:You want the log files again?
