I have declared victory.

I am no longer able to login to the game.

The freeciv client crashes when trying to draw the map when I logon.
The error is reported as "C:\Program Files\Freeciv-2.3.1-gtk2\freeciv-gtk2.exe caused an Access Violation at location 0054a599 in module C:\Program Files\Freeciv-2.3.1-gtk2\freeciv-gtk2.exe Reading from location 00000014." more details are in the forum thread in the civserver topic.

Given that at the time I last logged in I had the highest score I unilaterally claim victory.

hmm - I was wrong - no victory yet!

There is a bug in the windows version of Freeciv-2.3.1-gtk2 which stops me logging on but the sdl client freeciv-sdl.exe does not.
Anyone else ever used this client? Many of the major functions seem to be missing chat, research, nations ...

I'm using Freeciv-2.3.0-gtk2 in windows 7.

ok

so if there is anyone not using windows who wants to test if this bug affects their version of freeciv I will happily delegate to you.

I did build that wonder but I think it was a few days before the crash.
I remember looking at the economy tab in freeciv-gtk to check that Adam Smith was working.

So I think I have a different bug to yours. But if your patch works then presumably we have hit the same error.

I just tried building Adam Smith Wonder in a test game using the Multiplayer ruleset. There is no problem.
This issue is more complex than you suggest.

The SDL client has now quit working with same error I had from the GTK client earlier.
Dude can you upload and link to a copy of your patched client.

I have now compiled a windows GTK client using the patch above. It works.
I will unsign the Kevin551_test account

There is a new patch by jtn. I will compile with this and upload the binary. Is there a place on longturn.org we can upload to?
Note Aczern can always use the SDL client while he is waiting.

I attacked Aczern on the TC before he crashed. How could I have known that he had just built Adam Smith and would crash.
I sent Aczern an email offering him the binary but he didn't respond.
Also note this thread is about my client crashing and me being unable to login. If you want sympathy because your ally can't login then start your own thread.

Why won't you allow a patched binary to be uploaded to this site?
