seg fault when finding servers?

[yorg]

hi everyone

I'm running OpenTTD 0.6.0 on Ubuntu 8.04... everything was running fine until today. When I click "find servers" in the multiplayer lobby the game begins to populate the list and then crashes with a segmentation fault.

Any idea what could be causing this? My configuration hasn't changed since the last time it worked properly.

Thanks, Rob

Hello,

Does this happen in 0.6.1-RC1 and nightly builds?

This doesn't happened to me, I use 0.6.0

Have you tried reinstalling OpenTTD ?

Thanks for the quick replies!

I just tested 0.6.1-RC1, and it seems to be fine. I am able to load the list of servers and join a game without problems, but have not tested it any more.

Not yet. I'll try that now and see if there's any difference.

EDIT: reinstalled 0.6.0, and it still crashes when populating the server list.

I downloaded the package from openttd.net and it is labelled 0.6.0-1, while the version available in Synaptic is 0.6.0-2. Is there any difference? Which should I be using? I would stick with 0.6.1-RC1 but there seems to be very few multiplayer servers

Try downloading (and installing) openttdcoop GRF set - http://www.openttdcoop.org/wiki/GRF
There was a bug in 0.6.0 that should be fixed by this action

thanks, i will try that and let you know if it does the trick... is there anything special I do to set it up apart from putting the files in the right place? I'm not very familiar with using GRFs

edit: I got the GRF set installed, and multiplayer seems to be working fine... and now i've got a bunch of GRFs to play with. Thanks for your help!
