Problems with playing the game

pbsoa · 2009 Sep 5

Hi, it's me again Dx
My friend is having some problems playing the game on the Doomsday Engine. I'm not really sure about how he did the stuff but I'll try to tell everything I know that he did and later I'll direct him to this topic to keep on giving info.

This happens not only with 6.6, which I told him to download recently, but also 6.5 and beta6.

What happens is, he can start the game and all through DD Engine, but when he tries to start a new game (i.e. moves to a map), he gets a Segmentation Violation error and DD closes.

This is his doomsday.out:

Thank you very much.

is this a fresh install if not did you tell him to delete his map cache that might solve it and if it's a fresh install then i can't help.

Bob Hoskins · 2009 Sep 5

Firstly, that doomsday.out file is from beta6 and although I know you mentioned it, make sure he's running beta 6.6. Also ensure that he installs it to a new folder, i.e. not on top of an existing version.

Secondly, tell him to download and install the latest video drivers from nvidia for his graphics card. He can get them here: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

I think version 93.71 were the last supported drivers for that video card.

Thirdly, if he's still getting an error then please post the doomsday.out again but from version 6.6 of Doomsday.
