And you're getting this error too?

Also, which minetest version are you using? If < 0.4.10, then update first.

[lisacvuk]

Yes, I do. I'm using latest minetest from https://launchpad.net/ minetestdevs. I'm updating every day.

Been having this problem too... exactly at described. Suddenly I'm 'nowhere' : inf, [etc, etc], falling...

It respawned me at spawn after a few seconds of that, so I learned to use the inventory home button for my home and '/sethome' to save my position every time I was 'far away'... Problem solved.

BUT... I upgraded my minetest client... and NOW it force closes after the error message, just as I'm respawning... sometimes it locks up the computer and it always notifies me there's not enough memory for an error report (2GB).

I'm pretty sure it ALWAYS starts just as something clips past my field of view... As my face goes through something it triggers it. I can run around open fields 'all day' and it won't do it...

I'm sharing as much info as I can, because MOST people won't report it, they'll simply stop playing. I'm assuming many other people are having this problem and just leaving the game.

I've downgraded to version 0.4.9... I've lost features, but it no longer crashes. (for others searching this topic)

[lisacvuk]

I think i found the solution.
I got several games that use OpenAL. In each of them sound won't work.
So I made a new username and tried there. And, this time, it works!
But, because every solution has but, it won't work if you use Xfce.

This bug has NOTHING to do with sound. I replicate it with sound drivers UNINSTALLED on my system.

EDIT: I was wrong... Here's lines 3244-3250 of game.cpp:

// Update sound listener
v3s16 camera_offset = camera->getOffset();
sound->updateListener(camera->getCameraNode()->getPosition() + intToFloat(camera_offset, BS),
v3f(0, 0, 0), // velocity
camera->getDirection(),
camera->getCameraNode()->getUpVector());
sound->setListenerGain(g_settings->getFloat("sound_volume"));

I'm guessing 'getPosition' is where the bug happens... I found it in environment.cpp

Upgraded to 4GB of RAM, so I upgraded (L)ubuntu 14.04 to the 64 bit version.
I selected the older version 304 Nvidia driver, instead of version 340 that was installed originally in the 32 bit version.

Not sure why, but THIS ELIMINATED THE PROBLEM.

('Tested' the game for over a month to be sure...)

I still get the error, 2GB ram Linux with 4.10, local and on Landrush server too.

maybe somewhere a v3f is used as v3s32 or the other way round

Anyone has this problem with 64bit minetest?
