Celestia crashes when travelling

Post #1by yogix » 23.03.2004, 08:21

When travelling in Celestia and reaching the last second of travel, the program crashes (Win32).
It worked fine at the beginning, but now, even after re-install, same problem.
The crash can be avoided by escaping the travel, so press <ESC>, but then the last second "jump" will be missing. Possibly that jump is the problem?
How can I fix it?

Please read the "Preliminary User's FAQ" which is at the top of the Users Forum. Please follow the steps described in Q/A #1-3.

Among other things, you need to describe your system and software in detail. There are too many different things that might be causing your problems.

That sounds similar to some of the behaviour due to the bug I had with 1.3.1 when having too much addons activated. So you might (beside trying something else) either deactivate some of your most space consuming addons, or upgrade to 1.3.2pre7 to check if the problem is gone then.

Thanks for your reply. Actually I'm running no add-on packages and installed the latest version.
Anyway, after stopping the first travel pressing <ESC> I started the demo mode. And now the problem is fixed. May be a miracle.

yogix,

I need to point out that the phrase "the latest version" contains no information. We can't know if you're referring to v1.3.1 downloaded from SourceForge, v1.3.2pre7 downloaded from the test server or binaries built from the current CVS files. All of them contain different bugs and fixes. You need to state explicitly exactly what version you're running.
