So, when I play mintest for an extended period of time, the computer freezes, with absolutely no way to recover and I have to force a restart. I'm using ubuntu 12.04 and minetest 4.7 and was wondering if others are experiencing the same problem, or if anyone knows of any solutions.
Thanks for any help!

This is a mostly frozen copy of the Minetest forums through 2017. If you know phpBB3 and would like to host any G-rated forum here, you can email: me@minetest.org If the email doesn't work, find out who's taken over Final Minetest from OldCoder and email them to get write access or an admin account.
I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.

Caused by overloading resources after playing for reeeAAAAlllLLlyyyyyy long periods of time. My minetest (0.4.7) on xubuntu takes up about 2 GB on extended periods of play. Though I think it could be normal, pasting the last few lines of your log won't hurt.

7:42 PM - Bauglio: I think if you go to staples you could steal firmware from a fax machine that would run better than win10 does on any platform
7:42 PM - Bauglio: so fudge the stable build
7:43 PM - Bauglio: get the staple build

Try downloading and running the daily build of Minetest as many bugs have been sorted which could fix your memory leak...

I'm only playing it for about an hour when it happens. I think I'll try the debug log.
And I may try the daily build, cause if it's already been fixed, that'd be nice.
