Hanging when exiting

One Salient Oversight · Mon Jun 01, 2009 6:37 am

For context, read this first.

Localhost game on laptop. When player exits on bed to reality and then quits, the game hangs and does not shut down. I have to shut it down using ksysguard ("end process").

How can the game be shut down properly?[/url]

What exactly do you mean by "game" ?

The client?

The server?

Both?

all I'm doing is running gcfclient. I assume that both server and client are started.

When exiting gcfclient, the client hangs.

Hmm.. I see.

I'll test this evening and see what is going on.

Remember - not connected to net at all. So when the player exits, there's no list of servers to choose from and everything hangs.

Yep.. gtk-v11 client (r11727) can't cleanly exit without communicating to the metaserver.

Code: Select all


[ DEBUG     ] (common::handle_query) Received query.  Inpute stat now 1
[ INFO         ] (gtk::event_loop) gtk_main exited, returning from event_loop
[WARNING ] (commong::Metaserver_get_info) Unknown metaserver hostname: crossfire.real-time.com

Any solution?

Quick launch icon to kill gcfclient ?

Ha ha. That might just work...

I'll try it and see.

If not already done, a bug on sourceforge should be filed on this.
