This bug seems to be new in 1.24, although I haven't tried version 1.23.1. Once a Pain Elemental spits out a few Lost Souls, the program crashes with a Segmentation Violation. To test this out, go to the "Tricks and Traps" level ( level 8 ) in Doom 2. Go into the small room with a few teleporters (2 and 1 hidden) and enter one of the teleporters. Kill the pink demons. Shoot the faces on the pillar in the middle of the room, Pain Elementals come out. Count to ten... Vavoom crashes <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) --> I have a savegame just before releasing the Pain Elementals. I have tested this many times in slightly different ways. The only way to release the Pain Elementals without crashing the game seems to be to kill them before they shoot out too many lost souls... lots of BFG9000 nuking does the trick about 50% of the time if you have the ammo <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) --> running ubuntu 7.04, vaio fs-series notebook with intel 810-series gfx card. By the way - thanks for all your hard work on Vavoom, Janis! Coolest Doom source port ever <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

I can confirm and reproduce the bug. The debugging backtrace is quite long:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Check on a Gentoo Linux x86, compiled with Allegro backend, using latest SVN sources. I hope it will be help <!-- s8) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="8)" title="Cool" /><!-- s8) -->

Fixed.

holy crap that was quick <!-- s:shock: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" /><!-- s:shock: -->

[quote="Janis Legzdinsh":21z4daxw]Fixed. Not really. I'm running the latest version of Vavoom with the Hi-res textures, opengl and the latest models pack. I'm getting the same error (crash to desktop/signal: Segmentation Violation) at the same time as is mentioned in the original post.
