[Bug-Report] Entry crashes graphic driver
Posted: 18 Aug 2012, 05:37
I found a really annoying bug with manialinks.
I am sorry for posting this in the maniascript-section, but there was no manialink-section.
What it does:
It displays random lines and things all over the screen and seems like its crashes the graphic card or it's driver(!) so be careful testing it!
It happended randomly when i tried to put a very long text into an entry like this:
The first time it happened it just saw something like this:
Then i scrolled down in the rentry a little bit and my whole screen started flickering and it seemed like all pixels were about to run around. I had to reboot my computer to stop it.
I tried it again and it happened again but without the "pixel-errors" the screen only flickered and the manialink entry looked like on the first picture. This time the flickering stopped with closing the manialink or maniaplanet itself, but i got a message that the graphic card driver crashed.
I prepared a demo-manialink so you expirenced users can test it. I dont recommend testing this for beginners because it may crash your computer.
Manialink urls: (will be deleted eventually)
version with less text: http://riddle.fox-control.de/bug_nocrash.xml
version with more text: http://riddle.fox-control.de/bug.xml
(The first version does not lag that much and didn't crashed my computer, the second did. If both run on your pc try even more text please)
The Bug happened on a Windows 7 64-Bit version with NVIDIA GeForce GT 230 graphic card and its default driver (up to date).
Please tell me if you get this error too so we can see if it depends on the graphic card or whatever.
I think Nadeo would be intrested too.
Greetings, your confused Tomriddle!
PS: I also tried it with labels, it works too.
PPS: The mentioned error says something about the graphic card kernel. I couldn't read it that fast.

Code: Select all
<entry default="text text text....(too many chars)...text text text" />
