Has anyone else had the game just randomly shut down and not given a saved game? I've had this happen a couple of times and I'm pretty sure its linked to when the game restarts the music track its currently playing.
-
I think I've noticed the same thing. I also remember this being reported before and Kornel saying something like SDL was the problem, so he couldn't fix it. I turned off music in doomrl.ini and haven't had a crash since. You can still play music in the background with some other program. Hope this helps.

About random crashes - I'm experiencing pretty much the same problem as you are, but I suppose it's because of the system I am using - Vista [Goddamnit] Home Premium. I'll try to play without music though, so expect to see my 2nd reply in this topic ;)
-
The main reason for crashes in this version is accessing empty inventory -- this has been already fixed, and will be ok tthe next version.
-
I have to add that my inventory was and is NEVER empty, so I'm pretty sure that is not the main reason for crashes I'm experiencing on Vista. If I encounter it next time, I'll write down the info & it will appear 'ere.

Ok, I was playing an AoMr game and was at lvl24, re-arranging my unmodded pistol and heavily modded adv pistol to see specs for lone vs dual in the @ screen, but...
When I had no weapons equipped and hit @, I got the same problem that I had in berserk games when I checked the inventory screen without any items - my game saved and exitted. Thought I'd report this variant of the problem.

I've never had an empty inventory either, but I do crash from time to time. Not a Vista thing though, as the rate is about the same as it was on XP.

Can you check if you can repeat the crash?

Ok, tested a normal game on ITYTD. When I got to Hell's Armory, I had traits EE->EE->SoG->SoG->DG.
With both pistols in both slots, @ screen is fine.
With one pistol in primary slot, no pistol in prepared slot, @ screen is fine.
With no pistol in primary slot, one pistol in prepared slot, @ screen crashes and saves.
With no pistol in either slot, @ screen crashes and saves.
This is easily repeatable.
These crash+saves only occur once I have DualGunner. Prior to DG, @ screen is fine in all the above cases.
