videomode change ?

As in, the DOS application (Fragile Allegiance) changed video mode, or the window on my computer did? I had alt+tabbed into and out of the window, but not at the time of the crashes. Also, the screensaver / display did not turn on for the duration of the test (I was doing other things in the background).

game.

What compiler did you use and did you get it with 0.72 as well ?

I'm using MSVC++ 2005 Professional; currently running the test with 0.72 manilla.

One possible problem is that it looks like I'm compiling with SDL 1.2.13 Headers and lib files, but am in fact using the DLL's from SDL1.2.12 . . . Which may very well be the issue, because I've been having some input lockups as well . . . I'd just think that if that were the issue, the errors would be more frequent. *shrug* I'll update this post when I've crashed or not.

--As a PS, I'm using "overlay" as the output type.

check out the cvs sources

Different crash, interesting, appears to be my dilemma.

Does it happen with other output= modes, too? Does it happen in release mode?

Release mode too, yes, and actually I just realized my test with Release version 0.72 was flawed; the game actually crashed because the cycle count fell too low for the game.

I'll check other output= later

It happens in 0.72 release as well with output=overlay and scaler=normal2x. I'm trying output=opengl right now . . .

output=opengl did not crash.
