Lock ups while playing

Postby ender01 » Mon Jan 02, 2006 10:51 pm

Hi all, I played the demo of darwinia and loved it so I went and bought the full thing (not having any issues at all while playing the demo).

I downloaded the linux version and patched it up to 1.3, but am still having problems. After a small amount of time of playing (somewhere between 5-10mins) the game completly freezes my computer. I can't do anything, ctrl-alt-backspace/esc/etc...

I have the latest nVidia drivers (GeForce 6600GT) running Xorg 6.9 final with Mandriva 2006 Final.

It frustrates me because I can't even get the windows version to play the game, and now just have to wait for the game to come in the mail. I bought the game primarily because it can run in linux, and may not have otherwise.

Any ideas on what to look for? It doesn't generate any error logs or anything, so I really dont know what to do next.

Thanks for the help!

Here's all I can remember off the top of my head

Kernel 2.6.12-13mdk
Xorg 6.9 Final
nVidia 8178
KDE 3.4.2
SDL 1.8

1 Gig of ram
GeForce 6600 GT
AMD 2200+
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS

erm...what else should I find out? Thats all that I can remember that might pretain to this.

And like I said, demo ran beautifully with out issues for well over an hour. Its just the full version I'm having problems with.

Thanks for looking into this!
