Sorry, i really doubt that freeciv could crash your system... in 
fact, it crashes very often but not the whole system... ;-)

Either your OS has some serious problems or you have faulty hardware...

Thanks

I disagree.  Freeciv 2.1.8 windowed GTK client froze me out of my
Windows Vista system the other day, while playing multiplayer.  Mouse
pointer simply stopped responding.  I was shocked.  I had to hard
reboot.  I have no other history of freezes on my system.  Could it be
some kind of GTK deadlock?

Other thing that happens in GTK, with 100% predictability, is after
it's been running a long time the GUI windows start painting garbage.
About 10 seconds later the app freezes.  Vista terminates this just
fine, it's pretty much gotten to be a routine.  I have no exact
reproducer for the problem though, so I haven't filed a bug report.
Something is definitely unhealthy in GTK land though.  Some kind of
resource leak.


Cheers,
Brandon Van Every

It seems rather unlikely that Freeciv would have anything to do with
such a crash. The window system and the kernel would not permit
Freeciv to take down the rest of the system in the event of a failure
inside Freeciv itself. The only issue could be if you play in
fullscreen mode, and somehow it gets stuck in that state in the event
of an error, but I do not know much about that since I never play in
fullscreen mode.

hi, im very like with your game. but unfortunately, freeciv 2.1.8 made my
system crashed. im using mandriva 2009.0 and i downloaded freeciv from
official source (RPM). the crashed system happened after i played for hours,
when the crash almost same with when you logged out (x server restarted),
then want to log in again, its happen repeatedly so i have no choice than to
¨hard-shutdown¨ it. then i played the autosave again. one day my system cant
recover after the crash so it wont boot. i reinstall my system again. so i
would be pleased if this dont happened again. tx for your attention.
