[FIXED] Linux Startup Crash

[Deimios]

Every time I start up Dom3 it hangs with:
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x0b975ad0 ***
Before applying the patch the game crashed, didn't eve show a screen. After the patch it hangs at the 'Please wait' phase. If I Ctrl+C it from the konsole it hangs the whole system. Killall -9 dom3 works fine.

Any suggestions?

Try starting it without sound for a start. Try without any video (as a text server)... that sort of thing. Maybe try strace.

Not much else that can be done with proprietary software :/

[Deimios]

Thx. I experimented around with the sound and found that the problem is (was) Arts. After brutally (kill -9)-ing the Arts daemon sending it back to the pits, the game runs perfectly with the option -o .
The game defaulted to arts output it seems and that caused the hang.

Thx again.
