I'm running the Linux version on Fedora 10 on an EeePC 1000.

On load it completely disregards anything I put into [FONT:], whether in the windowed or fullscreen sections, and looks for curses.png. I renamed my font sheet to that, and it will load it fine.

Runs, but no improvement.  The accelerator didn't do anything for me, either.  Must not be bottlenecking in the right place on my box!

Hi,
I'm on Kubuntu 8.10 (KDE4) and when I try to start DF I see the fullscreen dialog and after I answer yes or no I get:

Code: [Select]

(dwarfort.exe:7512): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: instance with invalid (NULL) class pointer

(dwarfort.exe:7512): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_handlers_destroy: assertion `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed
Segmentation fault
Extracting the libs from http://brage.info/~svein/libs.tar.gz didn't help.

Download the Battle Champs release for linux. If you already did, do it again; I've added debugging code.

Install gdb. "sudo apt-get install gdb"
Run BC in gdb, like this:

Code: [Select]

cd /wherever/you/unpacked/bc
export SDL_DISABLE_LOCK_KEYS=1 # Work around for bug in Debian/Ubuntu SDL patch.
export SDL_VIDEO_CENTERED=1 # Centre the screen.
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:"./libs" # Update library search path.
gdb bc.exe
run

If it still crashes, you should get a backtrace. Post that.

That only happens if it fails to recognize the [FONT:] code; curses.png is just the default. Hm.. make sure you've got the right character set when you edit the file. It should be pure ascii.

Running V16 Mike Mayday Graphical Max on Full Screen.
-No problems in game-
-Crashes occasionally when skipping intro movie-
-Not sure if it's related, but minimizing and reopening the application causes a music overlap bug in which the menu and in game music play at once-



In game FPS has jumped from 25 to 45

Yep, the intro movie-crash thing (and the related fullscreen-toggle-when-not-using-default-grid-size crash) are known, and fixed. Probably, at least. *pokes Toady a bit*

I didn't write the sound code, but bhelyer seems to have some ideas on how to fix his code, so I bet that'll be fixed too.

[Qloos]

Just crashed switching from full screen to windowed with Mike Mayday Gfx Full.

[Veroule]

I hate to say it, but this is a complete mess in Windows.  Also during ealier testing many Linux users have had problems with libraries not being installed.  It is going to create a support nightmare for Toady.

While I do want to see a native Linux version available, I think we should be focusing on reducing dependencies on other libraries.  Towards this end I think I am going to go back to the original BC sources, and see if can come up with a simpler solution.

[jaked122]

The optimized Dwarf Fortress runs just fine on my Vista, and I'm getting a 132-160 FPS with everything turned on, All I need now is an updated Tweak config to make that work.

Yes, a lot of people have had problems, but the problems have been *resolved*. Well, except for the sound thing.

Now, if anyone has problems that haven't already been noted in the first post (or that don't work with its solutions), that's something else, but I haven't heard of anything like that for quite a while.

Huh? The linux users lacked development libraries to compile BC from source. They could run the binary just fine. SDL, GLu(t), and SDL-image are very common on linux installations, and additionally these dependencies will likely be resolved automatically when DF is added to third-party package repositories.

[Baughn]

As he says.

Now, if you want to help, writing something to produce packages/portage scripts/whatever for DF would be nice.

I'm sure it'd show up eventually anyway, but why not help it on its way? If the dependencies get automatically resolved, there are no further problems.

[cbpye]

This is the best Christmas ever.
  (tears of joy)

I can't wait to get back to my apartment and give the new release a go... ON LINUX!

[Oneir]

On the one hand, anything that promises to make DF run a bit faster is a source of happiness for me. On the other, this particular promise doesn't seem to deliver for me.

While everything seemed to work fine yesterday, today I'm getting 0-10 FPS on the title screen and 11 FPS in a fort which was getting 80 yesterday. This is after getting the redistributable pack, weirdly having to change the prepacked tileset from a jpeg to a bitmap to get it to work and with the partial print at 1.

...I think I'm going to go ahead and revert back to the older version.
