Help wanted crashing win32 client

freeciv 2.0.5 on win2k

There seem to be some kind of problem when the turn change(with timelimited turns) while you're renaming a global worklist. It's happened twice today on the pubservers.

It makes the game crash with an illegal operation error from windows.

Has anyone tried ALT+CTRL+K?

Yes, the science dialog is particularly good at triggering the bug ..
It is one of the dialogs with "0" buttons, but these will turn up everywhere.

Client load is very high.
Is it possible that the lists in the science dialog maybe are built up incrementally, triggering an update in the windows widget, and thus, being sqr(O), exhaust a resource leak in the windows98 API? Other programs running at the same time using user32 will also show problems.

My other idea is that something must have happened between 1.14.1 and 1.14.2, because i noticed a similar problem with my version of 1.14.2.

However it is happening pretty quickly - while civclient itself didn't show a problem right now, and no new science dialog popped up(just one in the past), a different application already had a problem with comctl32.dll.

Ah, I notice that the news dialog has a zero '0' title by now ..

The only other stuff happening are flickering of taxmen, one or two city dialogs, and of course the map view.

In fact, the win32 client (not gtk) version 2.0.0 crashes every time a new advance in technology is achieved. Then I load the client again and connect to the server and resume playing...
There is no need to set autosave because the server doesnt crash at all.
I run Windows ME and I am not buying Windows XP.

Set saveturns to 1 to auto-save every turn. Then a crash won't be so bad.

We've gotten a lot of reports of crashes on Windows lately. But the bug reports we're getting aren't good enough to be able to fix them. This isn't really the fault of the reporters...sometimes even if you give a savegame and instructions on how to reproduce the bug (which is the best kind of bug report) if the bug doesn't happen when the developers run the game then it doesn't help.

[quote="vladimir_sm"]Is this means that I can contribute to the freeciv win client bug eradication playing the beta 7 and then posting the contents of crash.rpt file??[/quote]

Yes, please! Post it to [url=mailto:bugs@freeciv.org]bugs@freeciv.org[/url] and we'll see what we can do. Please also describe as much as possible how you managed to produce the bug.

[quote="Highlander"]I guess this method is kind of outdated, since the Crash.RPT of beta6 gives the same result. [/quote]

I guess this method is kind of outdated, since the Crash.RPT of beta6 gives the same result.

Anyway, I ran it till it get the same weird close buttons that are labeled with "0" instead of "close" in the city dialog, and some city dialogs resize screen high. It seems to happen after I start clicking on where the people in the ciyt work when removing some from a tile. Quite similar to what I saw with 2.0.0-beta6. Guess i should try beta7 [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

Yeah, I agree. The UI is pretty bad compared to the GTK2 one.

I found a strange bug in the windows native unstable version.
Nothing happened when I tried the Connect with Road and Connect with Irrigation orders on workers (Shift+Ctrl+I and Shift+Ctrl+R).
It didn't work when I clicked my way into "Orders" either.
