Computer crash on game exit
Hi I am using FSO 3.6.9 and the game runs fine, but when I exit the game my computer crashes and restarts. This only happens when I use the OpenGL option.

If it means anything my grapichs card is a Geforce fx 5900.

Any way to prevent this from happening without changeing to direct 3d?

Re: Computer crash on game exit
For starters, you could provide some more computer specs. And update any and all drivers. Back in the days when I played Mafia, it would often crash and reboot the computer. Later I managed to track the source of the issue to old sound card drivers.

Re: Computer crash on game exit
Definitely check those audio and video drivers.  Also include your power supply wattage in the specs if you know what it is.  I've seen  a few computers (including 2 of my own) do this do to not enough power or a damaged power supply.  Oh and overheating is always a possibility.

Definitely GFX drivers, I'd say.  Why?  It only happens when using OpenGL.  OpenGL / Direct3D = Graphics.  So, update the drivers.  www.nvidia.com

EDIT: And, on the off-chance that you don't have DirectX 9.0c, get that from Microsoft, as well.  www.microsoft.com www.windowsupdate.com  EDIT2: How to tell what version of DirectX you have: Start > Run, type
dxdiag
and hit enter.  Searching for WHQL signed drivers is up to you, but I always hit yes... it will tell you the version regardless.

Re: Computer crash on game exit
OK I tried updating my drivers. Unfortunately it did not solve the problem. The strange thing is it only happens when I exit the game. I can play as long as I want with no trouble. I can also run other games without problems.

Anyway here are some more specs (I cant find the chipset if that is important). I do not know about power supply.

OS: Win XP SP2
CPU: Pentium 4 2,4GHz
512MB RAM

CPU-Z can tell you a lot about your rig (link in my signature).

Just for ****s and giggles, try pressing shift+Esc instead of quitting the game by mouse clicking on Exit.

If that doesn't work either, you can try Alt+Tabbing (or Ctrl+Alt+Del-ling) out of the game, and terminate fs2open_<version>.exe from the process list.


Obviously these ways do not solve the problem but might circumvent it while a proper solution is searched for.
There are three things that last forever: Abort, Retry, Fail - and the greatest of these is Fail.

Re: Computer crash on game exit
Hmph.  Try using a debug build (_d or _debug), enter a mission, and then exit like normal.  Then, in \freespace2\data\, post the fs2_open.log here.

I tried with fs2_open_6_6_9_debug, but now it crashed at the intro movie. I have attached the log and the system specs from CPU-Z.
