After further testing, it's not mission dependent. I'm not sure why I was aborting my rearm repeatedly, but that's what does it - any aborted rearm gets that assert.

EDIT: Oh, hey, this one was in Mantis. My bad.

Yup, Mantis is A-1 SUPAR.  Anyway, it's been fixed for RC5.

[Alan Bolte]

Cool. So, am I the only one for whom the new sound code sucks goats? And is there anything I can do to help further diagnose the problem?

Looks like you're running a mod with a bad weapons.tbl.  Can you post your debug log?

[Molaris]

out of a mix of curiosity and partial stupidity, where do I find that?

nvm, found it

sry if this isn't 3.6.14 related. thought it might be cause there was no issue before. It makes sense that I have a weapon table not working. I've been trying to make my own beam cannons for a bunch of ships I retextured and retabled to look more like the Amaterasu. was really having difficulty with the sounds and prob goofed some stuff up in there. been crazy busy with it.

[T-LoW]

Sorry if that has been noted or posted before. The game crashes when you abort R&R. Debug spew attached.

The reload & rearm crash has been fixed for RC5 - it's even in this thread at the top of this page   

After further testing, it's not mission dependent. I'm not sure why I was aborting my rearm repeatedly, but that's what does it - any aborted rearm gets that assert.

EDIT: Oh, hey, this one was in Mantis. My bad.

I wasn't reading carefully enough before; it's actually the weapons on a ship in ships.tbl.  So can you post your ships.tbl for this MMoS mod?

[Molaris]

oh. ok, sry. it's mostly my TFSD Anchorage that I'm having trouble with. dunno if it's something in my weapons either. those are the ones I tried making. it might help. I'm using Notepad ++ for the table editing. is there a better program I can use for tabling?

[attachment deleted by ninja]

[attachment deleted by a ninja]

[Goober5000]

I use Notepad++ as well.  That's about the best program I can suggest.

Some of your ships have four primary weapons on their turrets.  That's most likely your problem; the game limits you to three primary banks and four secondary banks.

[Nuke]

you can configure notepad++ to markup your fs tables for you. it also marks up lua for anyone who does scripting, dandy little program to have.

primarylist  = ;
secondarylist = mediavps_3612;
so it just so happens that, being the nincompoop that I am, I left out the semicolon in the primarylist thinking nothing of it. it seems to work fine now :-) thanks guys

It may work, but those four-primary turrets are going to continue to be a problem for that mod until you fix them.

yeah, I did fix those. thanks for telling me that. I appreciate the help. sry if it didn't have anything to do with the new build. I just figured since the problem started after I began using the new build, it prob was associated

I encountered serious slowdown when using 3.6.14 under Windows 7 x64. 3.6.12 (Win) works just fine as is 3.6.14 under Linux. Is it just a problem with my drivers?
Here are my logs made during 1st "mission" of BP-WiH:
Win
Linux
I checked the last mission of BP-AoA with 3.6.12 and 3.6.14 RC4 (both on Win) and results were about 20 fps and 5 fps respectively.
... and I know setting were a bit to high for my hardware.

No need to look further than

OpenGL Renderer  : Intel 965/963 Graphics Media Accelerator

If you want good performance, you need a real discrete GPU.

Changing GPU is impossible for me now. The real question is what is the source of such a huge difference in performance. It's confusing because I know it can and should work better than this.

[headdie]

it could just be that win 7 is a resource hog compared to your linux version,  for example I can run crysis 1 on my rig with XP but if i was to install Vista or 7 its a no go because of the increased resource demand

[flecht]

It might be true but my KDE likes resources as well and it doesn't explain the difference between 3.6.12 and 3.6.14. I'm starting to think about compiling Windows build myself and checking the difference.
