Crash on Windows 7

[TheAncientGoat]

Running syntensity crashes on windows7 according to Saliven on IRC.

He says "i have windows 7 and ATI Radeon 4850. I am able to run the game but when i connect and press connect to lobby, it freezes at "seeding particles" right before opening actual game... any ideas? "

He posted this crash log: http://pastebin.com/m5aaf1093

I have a similar problem on WinXP SP3 and Radeon 3200.

In both cases a crash doesn't appear in the log. So perhaps it freezes without crashing? In such a case only a log at level INFO (not DEBUG or WARNING) will help. Note that only the last few hundred lines matter, so you can paste only those if the output is too big (which it probably will be).

On the other hand if it does crash, but there is no crash output in the log files as here, then I'm afraid the best approach is to compile and run the app in the debugger. Or somehow show me what is happening visually, like with a video (does Windows pop up alerts about 'not responding', etc.?)

I do not know how, but now everything works. Probably helped upgrade to Catalyst 10.01.

Probably some driver-related OpenGL bug (ATI at its best).
