At least in my experience only the graphical output freezes (and then possibly the computer too at some point) but there's no segfault or anything. It feels like a cinematic virus, while the system seems to keep running in the invisible background (but at the same time its response time slows down so I can't restore control other than by rebooting - at least that's my OpenArena experience).
Myckel {l Wrote}:Coming back to this. I play other games from time to time. Never encountered this before, so I guess there is something VT or a dependency does that triggers this bug (sometimes).
Have you switched your graphics card recently? I did (from HD5750 SCS3) and the problem started then, so I wasn't sure if it was a driver problem.
It's strange that I can't reproduce your problems with VT. Maybe that's related to SDRAM size.. (I think I have 256M). Have you tested OpenArena?
Good luck with the patch! I'll wait for a release.
