Beret freeze

Post by Ribdevil »

Hi everybody.
I have problems with two programs, the games beret and freedroidrpg.
Both programs start well and after a few seconds the computer crashes, having to reset the computer.
It only happens to me with those two games, the rest works great, even more powerful and heavy games, like the Quake modules of Huno ( great work guy ), like Return Castle Wolfnstein, etc.
Any ideas ?
How can I monitor those programs to see the cause ?
All help is good.

Thank you.

Yu can get serial crashlog (GrimpReaper or by using c:dumpdebugbuffer) or systems just freezes and you can only hard-reset system?

Snoopy maybe shows you if some resource (sobjs. libs,..) is missing.

I only can make a hard reset or shootdown the system.

What system do you have? How much free VRAM you have before starting the game?

How much stack do you have? Note that there are separate stack parameters for shell and WB applications. Try increasing the stack value.

If possible, try experimenting with fullscreen/window modes.

My System is :
AmigaOne X5000
AmigaOS 4.1 FE prerelease
AMD Radeon R9-270 1Gb
RAM 4 GB

After the star WB shows 1,776 Gb Free RAM and 219 Kb Free Video Ram

I try incresed the stack, but same results.

Did you maybe mean 218 MB Gfx Ram?
If not, there's your problem, with 219 KB no game will run ... for long, if ever

I just tried "Beret" and it works fine.

Finished the first level with everything collected.

The only thing that is special about this game is that it's probing my catweasel for joysticks...i don't have any, but it keeps polling it which produces a little "hiccup" in the audio playback all 15 seconds or so (annyoing)...maybe that's what causing it for you to crash?

Yes, 218 Mb, my fault.
Beret now works, increase the stack, and now it works correctly, but I still have problems with "freedroidrpg".

Thanks for the answers.

A greeting.
