Memory Leak In CF

I can't come on very often. Ever since I got cf back I've been having it crash. I made a new character and then it hit! You need to fix this!

Try passing the client this option when you run it.

-nosound

It disables the sound output.

Try this:

The sound problem that makes the gtk client crash has been fixed in my branch of the client.

If you aren't running debian, you can use alien to convert the .deb to .rpm or build from the cvs branch.

I heard rumors that one of the main dev was going to attempt to build a rpm (*cough*) (*cough*).

btw, this problem isn't a memory leak, that is another problem and I am also working on solving that problem.

Build the client with -lsdl and make sure the sdl code compiles.
Then use SDL_IMAGING.

Does anyone not use SDL anymore? if not why isn't it the default?

There is a bug in compilation for SDL on GTK that you have to build specially.
And the SDL client for unix, if built, will not work, it crashes without any real backtrace, and the prebuilt ones also kick the bucket. I think the SDL Client needs to be dumped and restarted.

Must not be using the version of client from my branch. Because I can tell the sdl works. It still leaks memory, but I haven't had time to track that down.

Now it's gone away after a month.
