dmz Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Greetings, I've recently installed v19 Stable through WINE (on Linux) but it keeps crashing when closing a soldier's inventory during battle. It seems to be random but has a high incidence, I can sometimes open a soldier's inventory, make changes (for example: equip a medkit) and return to the field without problems but roughly half of the time it will just crash to desktop. It's as bad as me not being able to finish a single battle so far - I haven't tried too often, 4 or 5 crash sites, but that's what stopped me from playing every time. It happens on different battlegrounds (reloading a save means I get different UFOs, etc) and on different games (I started new games to test if it was somehow related to something in the particular save). It seems to be save-independent, reproducible by just playing a battle and accessing the inventory a couple of times. Does anyone else have this problem? (I know there is a similar topic about the inventory screen but that one seems to relate to the geoscape soldier inventory screen in the base.) Thanks!

FrozB Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I'm running it on Win 7 - have no problems with combats at all. Using inventory all the time. Have about 30-40 crash sites cleared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmz Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 It's possible this is a wine related issue then.. Usually I wouldn't post bugs for software I run through wine but Xenonauts relies on it for its Linux version officially. If these is any info needed about the crash let me know and I'll provide what I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ko2fan Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 What distro of Linux are you on? I have tested Mint, Red Hat and Gentoo and I have not seen the same issue. Also, which desktop are you using, which version of wine are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmz Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 Slackware on KDE with wine-1.7.0 I don't think the distribution or the DE has anything to do with this, it's probably something with v1.7.0 of wine. Also, I may also have been extremely unlucky: while this happened again a few times, the frequency lowered drastically. I'll try to use a previous wine version, maybe.

ko2fan Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I have been testing with wine-1.4. May want to try that version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmz Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 Will do, thank you. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
