Title: Crash when offscreen indicators appear
Post by: iainhallam on April 15, 2016, 08:21:05 pm
I've got Freespace 2 from GOG, and installed FSO 3.7.2 (rather than a release candidate) with the WXLauncher. I can launch the game on my middle monitor of three at 2560x1440 resolution, and it looks great, but as soon as the instructor's craft goes offscreen and the arrow indicators appear, FSO crashes. If I turn the ship to keep the instructor's craft in view, no crash.

Does anyone know if this relates to currently-known bugs or have any other ideas on keeping this running? FS2 on its own runs fine, though.

I've attached my fs2_open.log.

You're running a triple-monitor setup as 2560x1440 instead of 7680x1440? Putting that aside, we've had a couple other people report crashes like this with resolutions higher than ~1200 or so vertical pixels, but it doesn't leave an error in the debug log, so unless somebody catches it with a debugger, it's going to be a real pain to try and track down. You could try 5760x1080 and see if the problem goes away.
