Hey,
As some of you might aware, ETQW has crash issues on Linux for a long time. When the player waits in online server list for a long time and/or tries to connect to another server after a long game, the game freezes/hangs/crashes/segfaults. That seems to be a libgcc issue which is also related with missing last letter issue caused by libc. Considering that libc related missing letter problem appeared in January 2012, I am trying to pinpoint a Linux distro version which doesn’t have libgcc related crash problem with the game.
As I tried; Ubuntu 10.04 (non-updated), Ubuntu 10.04.4 (non-updated), Ubuntu 10.04.4 (updated), Ubuntu 11.10 (non-updated), Ubuntu 11.10 (updated) do crash the game. Can please someone direct me to an old distro version which doesn’t have crash problem with the game? Any distro is accepted.
