Well that narrows things down at least.

Send me the quest file like last time and I'll see if we can get to the bottom of this.

jman2050 15 Mar 2010, 05:48

Same thing happened as last time. Quest opened perfectly with no ill effects that I can see :/

Which ZC version are you using again? I'm using the dev build, so I wanna see if something changes using the released build you're using.

Keeping this topic here since SOMETHING is going on that generates false header errors.

The first time it was the 1154 and this time was the 1194
I moved up to the 1200 which seems much better than the 1194 after using it for a full day today.

Was there a difference in which compiler was used for the 1200?
it just seems to run smoother, both in Zquest and the player

Gleeok 15 Mar 2010, 08:36

Maybe your computer is allergic to my builds. (Warning! may contain computer peanut pollen) :P

Yes, there are compiler specific bugs that appear in zc ..which is totally retarded IMHO. Reference: Sideview Candle bug; Palette crash bug; GUI Window bugs; Midi crash bug; This bug; .

I'll ask _L_ what version he is using for the windows stuff.

_L_ 15 Mar 2010, 08:54

It's only just the version of gcc that comes with MinGW... "mingw32-gcc-3.4.5", I think.

Gleeok 15 Mar 2010, 09:11

Yeah, I've been using that too. :shrug: I've also got 4.4.0 laying around.

Maybe I have optimizations set higher or something? I like to do that...

Freedom 15 Mar 2010, 09:13

I recall several builds that DarkDragon compiled being a problem that was then solved by DN compiling those versions

jman2050 15 Mar 2010, 14:48

It's possible this problem could have been a side effect of those builds. Still, I wanna make sure that this problem doesn't creep up again and, if it does, see if I can actually duplicate it.

Freedom 17 Apr 2010, 18:45

response from who?
So the devs can just ignore problems for a month and they get thrown away huh?

We're about up to that month on Jman ignoring that user.dmp I sent him, I guess that one gets swept under the rug too huh?

This place is a JOKE!

Joe123 17 Apr 2010, 18:50

I appreciate you checking a few of your old bug reports pokegamer, but moving threads where the developer hasn't replied for a month is different to moving ones where the beta tester hasn't...

XMuppetSB 17 Apr 2010, 20:12

I apologize for that, but the open beta bugs forum description says that bug reports remain there until they are treated/fixed, marked as 'not a bug', or remain unverified for over a month.

jman2050 17 Apr 2010, 21:17

I must not have been clear in the post above, but I absolutely want this bug report to stay here until it gets resolved, since as of yet we haven't been able to nail down what's cause these false positives.
