Title: Closing Error
Post by: Phoenixan on July 13, 2007, 01:28:29 PM
Hello. :) I installed this game, and I really enjoy it, but always at some point on the "big fan of death" map, I get this:
(http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/2200/errordetailstd6.gif)
"OpenArena: an unexpected error has occurred and this program needs to close.  We're sorry for the inconvenience."

I've tried adjusting my settings, turning bloom on and off, toggling the sound quality, etc., but nothing seems to fix it.

My specs are:
AMD Athlon 2400+ 2.0 GHz
Radeon 9600 Pro (256 Mb)
1 Gb RAM (2 512 sticks)
Windows XP SP2

If anyone can recommend anything that could help so I could continue playing this map, I'd greatly appreciate it. :)  Unless there's something already reported that could be wrong with this map.

This error occurs in the single player also, by the way.

It's a known bug that is fixed in the svn, I believe it is caused by the q3map version used to compile the map.

Alright! So, what do I do in the SVN to fix it?

Really? I had this error message, while I oc'ed my Athlon XP 2400+@ 2600+. Maybe the same with Phoenixan.

I also have the same error, and it's keeping me from playing the rest of the campaign.

Is there any patch available, or is there anything I can do to play the next maps in the campaign?

Ok, I now got through this map.
To other people having the same problem, and wanting to play the next levels, i suggest setting the difficulty to the lowest and try to win this map as fast as you can. Meaning, before the application crashes.

That's what I did, and it's really astonishing how easy it is to kill 20 times stupid bots :)
