Put the server in a nonprivileged rootjail together with the required libs. It's how I'm running the server, and it works just fine. Get the libs off any old linux installation - I got mine off an old RedHat and I'm using them with a gentoo without any problems.

As per benu's suggestion: I tried that and it seems to work... so far /SirReal

Hey benu! I'm having this problem too, but -nomap doesn't help. Where can I get older versions of those .so files? [EDIT] I got them off a linux server -- seems to work now. At least it doesn't crash straight away. I'll be back with more w(h)ine if it doesn't work out.

Hi, I'm running gentoo with a 2.6.5 SMP kernel, OFP 1.96. I've two problems. One with the 1.96 shar update, and one with the server. The shar first. Don't, as in DO NOT execute that tolower without verifying that you're in the right directory! If someone happens to run that in their root, they're scr*wed royally! On the server... well, starting the server results in an almost immediate segmentation fault: 1:02:36 Dedicated server created, memory used: 226480 KB Segmentation fault Running an strace, the trace ends in: read(35, "\177ELF\1\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0\3\0\1\0\0\0\325\\\1"..., 1024) = 1024 fstat64(35, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=1272540, ...}) = 0 old_mmap(NULL, 1210724, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE, 35, 0) = 0x56bb2000 mprotect(0x56cd4000, 22884, PROT_NONE) = 0 old_mmap(0x56cd4000, 12288, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, 35, 0x121000) = 0x56cd4000 old_mmap(0x56cd7000, 10596, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x56 cd7000 close(35) = 0 open("/lib/ld-linux.so.2", O_RDONLY) = 35 read(35, "\177ELF\1\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0\3\0\1\0\0\0\360\t\0"..., 1024) = 1024 fstat64(35, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=82432, ...}) = 0 old_mmap(NULL, 79600, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE, 35, 0) = 0x56cda000 mprotect(0x56ced000, 1776, PROT_NONE) = 0 old_mmap(0x56ced000, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, 35, 0x13000) = 0x56ced000 close(35) = 0 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++ Although without symbols, you probably can't do much with it, here's the backtrace from gdb: #0 0x08648b25 in ??

If you, like me, are using Hardware T&L, and start to get strange errors and getting dumped to the desktop rather than seeing the main menu, make sure that you have set the "Viewing distance" to a suitably low distance. In my case, setting viewDistance (in your UserInfo.cfg) to more than 3000 causes a CTD (but only when viewing the main menu). Go figure. viewDistance=3000.000000; Is my recommendation.

Hi. Running 1.46 @1600x1200 works just fine at 60fps+, but 1.91 and 1.94b renders at about 1fps no matter what the resolution. System: Intel P4 2.8GHz, 1GB RAM, ATI Radeon 9800Pro w/ latest (2003-12-10) drivers. Any ideas? Edit: Because I can't check versions when starting. Edited again: Because selecting Direct3D Hardware T&L solved the problem.
