Description shuebnerfun01 2012-06-02 17:51:05 EDT
When telling him "I'm ready sir" he always says just "Well then", and then the game either just closes or crashes/freezes, so it has to be killed via a different console.

System: Ubunutu x64 12.04
Graphics Card: nVidia GeForce 9500 GT
Drivers: proprietary nVidia 295.53

Oops, very sorry, didn't notice that there are already some bug reports about this specific problem. Seems to be a duplicate of 5523, 5542 and 5547 at least.

(I'm adding this comment to several bugs here...sorry if you see it multiple times.)

There were some memory corruption bugs in the initial Humble Bundle build, which we believe have been tracked down and fixed now. Most of the crashes are probably due to these.

Those getting Floating Point Exception crashes during cutscenes: that was my fault, I screwed up something hooking up the Bink audio output code. This is also fixed, I think.

Here is a test build, please try it and report back. It's a 2.1 megabyte download: just untar it and overwrite the two files in your game installation.

This build also has joystick support and working FSAA (if the game is way slower for you, you can turn off FSAA in the options menu).

There are still some bugs, but this should be MUCH more playable.

Download it here:

We'll do a more formal build once we get some feedback.

Though there are some random crashes still persistent with the patch, i think the video transitions work fine now.

I can confirm that the scene with Coach Oleander works, but that there are still completely random crashes now and then.

(I'm adding this comment to many bugs that this fix might apply to...sorry if you see it multiple times or it doesn't _actually_ fix your issue.)

Here is a new test build, please try it and report back. It's a 2.1 megabyte
download, so you don't have to redownload the whole game again.

This is meant to fix crash bugs mostly. We still have rendering issues, etc to sort out. If this didn't fix your issue, please report it on this bug. If there are still other unrelated issues, please file a new bug or add yourself to the CC list of one of the other bugs. Here's the open bug list if you want to check for others with the same problem:

Steam users: you'll get this through Steam shortly.

Linux users, download this...

  http://treefort.icculus.org/psychonauts/psychonauts-linux-0.3-patch.tar.bz2

...and unpack it. Overwrite Psychonauts and libSDL-1.2.so.0 with it. This works with either of the first two builds from HumbleBundle.com.

Mac users that aren't using Steam, download this...

  http://treefort.icculus.org/psychonauts/psychonauts-mac-0.3-patch.tar.bz2

...double click it, and run the patcher program it produces.

We'll do a more formal build once we get some feedback.
