beta will not work for me

Submitted by Jonathan on Wed, 2008-11-12 02:20.

I have run 2.6 for years without issue, yet 2.7b8-10 will not work. It does nothing or freezes and the "program not responding box" comes up or the process must be killed in taskman. Changing the settings to demo-mode yielded a frozen white screen or nothing. I updated my directx which didn't help.

My laptop:
Windows XP
Core 2 Duo 1.6ghz
Intel GMA 950

The Error:
2008/11/11.23:55:24 - Exception.cpp[ReportCatch(34)]: 'EXCEPTION: in Q:\Work\Projects\ElectricSheep\trunk\client_generic\DisplayOutput\texture2d.cpp(150): Unrecognized OpenGL Error.'

It's some error resizing the texture and copying data.. Not sure why, but I'll try to add more rigorous error checking in those parts.
Also, next beta will contain Direct3D renderer, so if you're lucky that might ameliorate the problem right there :)

I guess this answers my question.

I thought I should mention that if I leave it frozen for awhile it will download sheep and render jpegs. but nothing is displayed.

New video drivers?

Perhaps new video drivers would help since it's an OpenGL error. Barring that, hopefully the DirectX version will be less problematic.

Excellent suggestion.

Excellent suggestion. Jonathan: did Aenima's suggestion help?
