Error message need interpretation
 
Does this error message offer any clues?

vendetta: pcm.c:5959: snd_pcm_mmap_commit: Assertion `frames <= snd_pcm_mmap_avail(pcm)' failed.
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption: 0x082cfcf0 ***
Segmentation fault

Crashes and shuts down right after Vendetta splash screen.

Thanks!

Thanks
 
that's a start.

I've decided if I really want to play the game I will use the other machine, it's runs fine on an ol P4 2 Ghz w/GeForce2 with 32MB ram.

I will report the problem, and hopefully will be able to see how it looks with better textures and effects. I am an eye-candy junkie I guess =/.

Finally, I have to wonder if it's the video card or the 64bit OS/Processor. The 64bit build seems to act different in some ways. Is it just me? hehehe

Peace
