Closed? Doesn't happen anymore? Please state reason when closing.

I havent checked on my PC that time and it is working on armv6 so temparary I closed

but still same is happening on X64 checked on 2067

I tried this game on my Windows 7 (x86) PC using v0.9.5-104-g508830b and still got same results of a crash in the game, under quick race mode, as soon as a police cars siren is heard that seems to be the reason for the crash.

When hit police care , it hits stack empty and crash

36:45:570 main E[G3D]: GPUCommon.cpp:768 RET: Stack empty!

Has this improved? Also, it would help a lot to see a log from when it worked and a log from when it didn't side by side. Then we can see what is happening differently.

@unknownbrackets
can you tell me the exact build number when that new ffmpeg was merged

[vsub]

It's not really after FFMPEG...it's crashing on 0.9.1-963 and not on 0.9.1-452(there was some bug with 0.9.1-8??? and the sound with some games)

Tried
0.9.8-561
0.9.6-537
0.9.1-1463
0.9.1-963
0.9.1-542

Edit:Ok the problem seems to be somewhere between 0.9.1-808(ok) and 0.9.1-830(freeze)

@vsub: Could you post the -gXXXXXX parts of those version numbers too? The version numbers really don't mean a lot. The gXXXXX stuff tells us exactly what commit it was. The version numbers are more for the end-user than us.

[vsub]

Here
v0.9.1-818-g42c5061
v0.9.1-830-gd6e9b0f

[unknownbrackets]

Is this only on ARM or only on desktop?

42c5061...d6e9b0f

[bhavin192]

only on desktop not ARM.
On ARM it's working without a bug :D

[unknownbrackets]

So then possibly cbf1df9.

[bhavin192]

@unknownbrackets
any chances to be solved before 0.9.9 ?

[unknownbrackets]

Well, that passes the tests I subjected it too, so I'm not sure what's wrong. Is there any demo that exhibits this problem?

Does this happen on 32 bit?

-[Unknown]

[hrydgard]

@bhavin192 , can you compile? If so can you put

DISABLE;

after "case 13:" (see cbf1df9) and try it?

[bhavin192]

@hrydgard
sadly I have to set up everything from scratch I will try it because for my CS engg. It will be needed (preparation for future :P )

[hrydgard]

All you need to do really to build on Windows is to install VS 2013 , open the sln and build, it's very easy.

[bhavin192]

And dxsdk , right ?
Downloading it now will build in ~4 hours

[hrydgard]

You don't need DX SDK to build, we have a mini dx sdk as as submodule.

[bhavin192]

ok then it will not take much time ;)

[bhavin192]

@hrydgard
Built it
this time it worked when police siren is heard first but at second time it happened

It's not related these changes

@vsub
can you please check again ?

[ppmeis]

Tested with latest build. Game stops after police siren appears:

@daniel229 noted that this can be solved by using the interpreter for vmax, possibly since #6382.

I guess the best way on x86 will be to convert to an integer and compare it that way, I don't expect it to be fast...

[daniel229]

On PC,it's fast enough.
