Exult Forum

Hi,

when I start exult and select "config", and change the scaler to scale2x, exult segfaults.

Here is what gdb has to say about it:

Hope that helps!

This has been in there for ages. (I also mentioned it in my email from this morning; the one you replied to )

Congratualtions Artaxerxes, this is a 'duplicate' bug

Thanks for notifying us of a bug we, already knew about, and as wjp stated, SO did you too

Stating the obvious.... of course!

well, better twice than none!

I must admit I did not really pay attention. Oh well, c'est la vie!

Artaxerxes

It did get fixed now, though. So apparently posting about it was the right thing to do

Heh. The fix for that was pretty simple. But, my version still segfaults when I'm browsing around the Setup menus, this time within SDL_mixer. It happens also in the game, apparently at times when the music changes.

I don't think this is a bug in Exult. It's a division by zero in SDL_mixer. It seems to happen with some instruments. (It crashes when a new instrument should start playing in the intro tune)
