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:
[sbox-FREMANTLE_X86_VCMI: ~] > Starting... 
Creating console and logfile: 0
Not entire config/settings.txt parsed!

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

Why are there dozens of applications suffering from this issue and nobody bloody cares?

(BounceBounce, InnerSpin, Them bloody ducks, ...)

Or is it just me?

Could you try ThemBloodyDucks? Never worked for me.

Do you have the power kernel installed?

I have Kernel Power v46, but not CSSU.

ThemBloodyDucks just installed and working.

Thanks for trying! I don't have CSSU either.
If I'm the only one with this issue then I'll just live with it...
