--- Comment #22 from Lazerath lance.lecher@yahoo.com 2009-02-13 00:38:59 --- I did some further testing of the issue that i posted above and this is what i gather from the information. When I go to the appearance tab in creating a character it has an animation at the top of the screen. Now when you import a character you have to go through the appearance (and assign a voice to the character) and the name tab again and the program crashes at the same spot as it does when creating a new character. I have about one second or less when the screen changes before the program crashes. I believe that it is the animation that is causing the program to crash.
I did find that when i load a pre-made party that the game worked. to some degree. There is a setting in the config.exe for the game located in the game directory that i needed to change in order to get to play smoothly. It was the slider bar for the FPS it is defaulted at 30 FPS and that is too slow. I just maxed it out at 60 and then the game ran smooth.
I went into windows and created a party. First i copied the character files over to the ubuntu\wine game and tried to import them. that is how i learned about what i said above. So i went back to windows and started the game with my newly created party and saved it as soon as i got off the ship. I copied the save game over to the ubuntu\wine game and loaded my saved game. It worked fine - to a point. There is a circular display of buttons that are for the menu commands (i guess that is what i will call them but i am not sure if I am correctly describing it) at the right of the screen. The top button takes you to your inventory (I think) and when i click that the game crashes again. Now the only similarity that i noticed in the two windows is that same animation comes back up in the window. I have about the same amount of time as i do when i clicked the appearance before the game crashes.
The terminal counsel does generate a debug error code for me. I will have to load into ubuntu and get the information and attach it to this. i cannot understand it but i hope that someone can.
Please bare with me this is the first thing that i ever posted.
