Manaplanet crashes when connecting a server

[Kovash]

Hello,

Since a few days I'm experiencing a bad issue.
When I try to join a server, I click it, the loading starts, and when it ends the game brutally close (without message or anything...)

In a first time I tough it was aleatory, but today it happens 4 times consecutively when trying to join this server.
Then I tried another server, and it worked fine.
Do you think it can be because of the serv ?

Here is the log file created when the game crashed : log

Let me know if you need any detail

Thanks for the help !

It is not necessary to post the same in English and in French, as the game developers know both languages.

Anyways I don't think it is related directly to the server, unless it is excessively usings splash screen textures in uncompressed format.

I'm rather wondering about the crash log:

Code: Select all

try the following: in the advanced configuration of the game, video, compatibility, set AGP usage to min, try again, and set to max. Any difference?
Also try to use low-resolution textures and low details.

If the crash still continuously happens, try the following:
clean the cache (advanced game configuration, peer-to-peer).
Join only this server.
If it crashes again, archive your whole cache and upload it so we can look into the textures.

And if you still have more time, you could try the debug version of the game, that gives a more detailed log of what is happening before the crash.

Sorry for the delay. the good news is that I passed all my exams

I tried to change the AGP usage from 0 to 100. At 100, I had been able to play a match but at the end of the match the crash happened once again when coming back to the server. So I set it back to 0.
I cleaned the cache, and tried one more time. Still crashing

Here is the archive of the cache (I only joined this server, one time). I put what was in the common folder, except the PacksCache because it weights 3 Go. If you think this folder is necessary I can upload it as well.

If you have any other idea, I'm listening. Regarding the debug version of the game, you don't know what you mean. Where can I find this version ?

Thank you very much for your help
