Blender Game Engine crashing?

darfunkel · October 21, 2008, 4:31am

Every time I try to run the game engine it crashed in version 2.48… I really want to try the new features :(. Im using Vista 32. Anyone got the same problem?

Yea I always get this. I have to save before starting the game engine or ill lose it all. It really pisses me off. It never used to do this

Perhaps this is related to the major bug that was fixed in SVN? It caused crashes in Yo-Frankie and this could be it as I didn’t have a BGE startup crash problem here.

really I compiled the latest SVN(4 seconds ago) and open the blend hit “P” and wait 2-3 seconds and crash!

Hi, thanks for the SVN hint, Ill download it right away and give it a try.

I get a similar problem in vista 32: the GE will “freeze” for 2-10 seconds before starting to play. At first I thought I might be using too complex a scene (new feature testing), but when it ran it went at 60fps, and I was using a nice computer.

The SVN worked! Thanks guys!

thats because of joystick and audio initialization, you can pass a couple of switches to disable the wait, they are -nojoystick and -noaudio

1GB RAM
Celeron processor 2GHZ

that looks like a sound system problem, its screwed up xD thats why i always compile without sound support and use an external library (aka pygame)

alienkid10 · October 23, 2008, 4:56am

using 2.48a Blender crashed after music started and the Dos box had stuff abouut “setting id xx” or something and it was yelling “CHILD!”
