Hey, so I've had the past few Clonk releases on my computer, and I love them. My brother and I play over LAN all the time and have a great time with it.

Today, I happened upon this new release, to which I was greatly surprised. I got the client correctly installed and it runs just fine.

However, after I load up a level, as soon as I spawn the game crashes. I've tried running the game in compatibility mode and as administrator. I've also changed the resolution to fit my screen's resolution. However, the game still crashes, and I can't figure out why. I'm running Windows Vista 32-bit with a 2.4 Ghz processor, 3 GB RAM, and 128 MB's of integrated graphics (I have a laptop.) So, I think my specs should be able to run this just fine. Any ideas on why it's crashing and what I can do to fix it?

Thanks.

You might be able to find out what the problem is by taking a look at the log; in windows this is located in $AppData$/Roaming/OpenClonk (Though why it is there instead of the OC folder, I have no clue).

Odd; it doesn't even throw an error. I'd suggest joining #openclonk-dev on irc.ham.de.euirc.net around 11:00am and talking to the engine developers about your problem; since I'm a content developer, engine matters are really out of my scope.

Okay, I'll see about doing that, thanks.
Yeah, I thought it was weird that there weren't any notices about a crash as well... It seemed like a lot of the files had errors, so I tried uninstalling and deleting the .exe I downloaded and tried redoing the entire thing... But, it didn't make a difference. So, maybe my graphics card doesn't agree with it for some reason... though I don't know why it wouldn't.

You are playing with the lastest release I guess?
While it should work and I did not know of that crash in the release yet, there have been a lot of crash fixes (http://hg.openclonk.org/openclonk/log?rev=crash ) since then.
I don't know of what date (and therefore internal version) the current release/update is, but if you want to put a bit effort (max 15min) into it, you could get TortoiseHG (basically what allows developers to work together on the same data) and get your local copy of the current working repository (with the nice additional effect that you will always be able to have the latest updates ;)  )
That would mean: Download&Install TortoiseHG (http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/ ), Rightclick somewhere in your Windows explorer, select "TortoiseHG->clone repository", enter http://hg.openclonk.org/openclonk/ and select a folder where you want it to go.
You will have to get the engine dependencies (http://www.openclonk.org/builds/nightly/deps/deps-win32-mingw.zip ) when doing that for the first time. After that you can get the latest updates (nightly) of the engine here: http://www.openclonk.org/nightly-builds/
Extract the dependencies in the newly aquired folder "planet" (it's where you told TortoiseHG to put the stuff) and put the engine (the nightly-build) in that folder too, you should be good to go (and see whether it still crashes :)  )

PS: You can also use a development snapshot! thx Clonk-Karl for reminding me
They are updated (only) once a week but you won't have to go through the hassle of installing TortoiseHG
latest: http://www.openclonk.org/builds/nightly/snapshots/openclonk-snapshot-20110208-aa8b976c843e-win32-mingw.zip (you find them on the page "nightly-builds")

Yeah, it's the latest, as far as I know. I went to the download section and picked up the version for Windows 32-bit. So, that's what I'm using now... It still is having issues though. I'll definitely try what you suggested when I get the time. Thanks!

Mh, true, they are also updated once a week - thought it was not that often

In the graphics options, is anything like "Shaders" or "High resolution landscape" activated? This has been a classic crash issue.

Shouldn't that be on the logs?
