Hi Luke,
Thanks. The problem you are distribing confirms what I saw - the game requires at least 256 MB VRAM to be completely stable. With your 128 MB card (and with mine 128 MB card) some of the maps will crash the game and even AROS. The pattern here is the map - I found following maps "damage" system: 

ac_ingress, ac_iceroad, Output,Filthy RatTrap, Werk
There might be more though. I tested this by simply letting the game load as it loads a random map at start. During this test, after each game load, a hard restart is needed, not to give wrong tests results. (map that "damaged" system will make other maps damage it unless computer is restarted). 

Best regards,
Krzysztof

Hi,

  I've finally managed to resurrect my AROS box and make some tests with
AssaultCube.

First a newbie question:

- How to show fps (frames per second) ?

Then I need to report a couple of bug that I've faced with test-case 4,
  both seems to be "random" or I still haven't found a "pattern" to
reproduce them:

1. Detaching the mouse from the game with ALT+TAB sometimes the mouse
cursor disappears

2. One time, after switching some maps, I wasn't able to detach the
mouse anymore - needed to do a cold reboot


My setup is Icaros 1.3.0 with kernel and arosc.library from 7 June 2011
- SVN: 38610

            Paolo, Luke - do you have setup where you can use PS/2 mouse
            instead
            of USB mouse?



            I have!

            My AROS-Box uses PS/2 mouse and keyboard - I will do my best
            to bring it
            up tonight....


        Ok, execute Test Case 4 first, then Test Case 3 with USB and
        PS/2 mouse.
        Skip Test Case 1 and 2.


    Luke, have you been able to execute Test Case 4? (you can skip TC3 now)

    Best regards,
    Krzysztof
