Please report bugs

Hi all,

Just a reminder that if you have a problem with the linux beta, please report it in this forum. A new post per bug is best, rather then replying to this post.

If the bug is reproducible, please specify how to reproduce it. This is very important.

Also, please specify the following information about your system:

Linux Distribution (e.g. Red Hat 7.2)
Kernel Version (e.g. 2.4.18)
CPU Type & Speed (e.g. Intel P3 1000)
RAM (e.g. 256MB)
Video Card & Driver Version (e.g. NVIDIA GeForce 2 version 2880)

Finally, if torque segmentation faults, please do as much of the following as possible to get information about the crash:

Run the game with -console and include the output with your bug report.

If the game crashes but doesn't dump core, try set your core dump limit to 100MB with "ulimit -c 100000000", then reproduce the crash; you should get a core dump this time.

Try to get a backtrace for the core dump. Type "gdb -c core realmwars", and when gdb finishes loading, type "where". It will print out a backtrace, include it in your bug report.

Thanks a lot. With your help we can make Torque linux the best of the best of the best of the best!! :)

Do you really want all the output from the console? I have about 50 lines of errors in the console after this seg fault. I'm just wondering.
