Hi everyone,

I have a strange issue (in the SDK as well as on the N900). After porting VCMI, it runs fine from the terminal, by simply running "vcmiclient". But if I start it from the .desktop file, (1.) the sound doesn't work and (2.) the game freezes on starting a new game. (#2 only happens on the N900, it works in the SDK). The only error I get is from the SDK, as I get no terminal output when running from the .desktop file on the N900. Here are the lines:

Code:

When running from the terminal the sound works flawless:

Code:

[sbox-FREMANTLE_X86_VCMI: ~] > vcmiclient 
Starting... 
Creating console and logfile: 10
Not entire config/settings.txt parsed!

The .desktop file:

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Name=VCMI Heroes 3
GenericName=Rewrite of the Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Engine
Exec=vcmiclient
Type=Application
Icon=vcmi
X-Window-Icon=vcmi
X-Window-Icon-Dimmed=vcmi
#X-Osso-Service=com.nokia.maemopad
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true
Categories=Game;
Terminal=true

Please note that I also tried to comment and change various lines for testing (like Terminal=false, X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=false or commenting some of the X-* options). I also tried the "Exec=run-standalone.sh vcmiclient" as well as with full path etc. Nothing helped...

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dan
