Dead -> Loading -> Hang - cisforCOJO - 05-31-2007

Anyone else having problems with the game hanging when after dying?
When I first start the game, loading has no problems. If I die, then it just hangs forever.
I have to restart X. Any ideas???

yep, that happed to me a few times, had to restart x and kill penumbra.bin so nothing showed up in the hpl.log, i haven't tried ulimit -c unlimited

one quick workaround i found worked, was instead of hitting continue, i'd hit main menu instead and load it from there

It's done this on me a few times. Sometimes it reloads fine, other times it sits on Loading... until I kill the game. Never had to restart X. I just Ctrl+Alt and F1 to a tty session and

Code:
killall -9 penumbra.bin

. It usually locks my mouse but if i reload penumbra and quit it normally it gives me the mouse back. Possibly you can retrieve the mouse in some other fashion, but i haven't done any digging through the system to find out what causes that.

Thanks for your suggestions. I'll try em next time.

I didn't know about killall -9 ....
that's brilliant. I was forced to reboot because kill simply wasn't getting the job done!

Same issue here. It seems mostly random but highly annoying. I hope a new patch comes out that fixes this.

By the way, I'm using Ubuntu 7.04 with Nvidia 97.55 drivers. Are you people with this problem using the same ?

RE: Dead -> Loading -> Hang - Linux.Blue - 06-06-2007

only tried this a few times, and worked so far. but may easily not all the time. I myself get the "loading..." freeze. What I did, again, only did this about 2 or 3 times, is click on "main menu" instead, then say 'continue'; "to last saved game"

RE: Dead -> Loading -> Hang - Urkle - 06-06-2007

Just for grins. Has any one tried the sound workaround here ?http://frictionalgames.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1137&pid=9246#pid9246.

curious if this issue is related to the other.

RE: Dead -> Loading -> Hang - Linux.Blue - 06-07-2007

my system is:

Processor: AMD Athlon XP 64 bit (3200+)
Distro: MandrivaLinux 2007.1 Spring
Kernel: 2.6.17-13mdv
Graphic Card: NVIDIA 7300 GT

I never got any errors with the radio message though. My only problems are when it says "loading...", it freezes.
Also, this happened about three times:

Spoiler below!

Otherwise, no other errors, except once, it didn't even want to load the game itself. I type in "sh (name of game)", and just ended up with a blank screen.
