I'm having a tough time with the desktop client crashing on Ubuntu, today.
It crashed early in the day a few times giving the message about 'canberra-gtk-module' so I reinstalled that through apt-get and told it that this was meant to be a re-install with --reinstall flag.
It hasn't changed things because now it crashes without an error log and in the middle of lots of things.
It crashed twice when I was running in the wilderness.
It crashed when I ported around - both in full screen and windowed mode.
It crashed with vsync on or off.
It crashed at least twice during different creatures engaged in combat which meant loot lost and a wilderness death on one of those.
It crashed when it seemed like I went to a populated area.
It crashed with the music off or on.
*Thought maybe turn it off because the music gets static-y sometimes now which I can fix sometimes by changing volume controls on the Ubuntu settings which seemed to temp. fix that. With no rhyme or reason the sound issue happens again later.
Sometimes the crash is less than 5 minutes into gameplay, sometimes it's 20+ minutes into gameplay. I've tried changing worlds too.
Oh and there are two types of crashes.
One crash everything stops - the frames stay on the same one and nothing changes. I have to "force quit" the client because Ubuntu says it's not responding.
The other type of crash is when "bloop" it just goes away (like it was sent to a minimized screen). At that point the program screen disappears and the client closes - mid gameplay.
It's becoming too hard to play with this constant crashing and no error message to try to work on. Anyone else experiencing this and found a solution? Why is it crashing so much and why is there no error message to chase. I can't debug a screen that disappears. I've tried restarting my computer thrice already. When I try to help it - things are getting worse. Time to reach out.
