Every time I step away from my laptop (which unfortunately has Vista) long enough for the screensaver to do it's thing, I come back to find DoomRL has crashed with the following message:
An unhandled exception occurred at $773DB15F
EAccessViolation : Access violation
$773DB15F
Abnormal program termination!
It then attempts to save the game, with a 50/50 chance of successfully saving. Just thought I'd let ya'lls know.

I'm running Vista too (Ultimate, 32bit, SP1).
Do you have any programs installed that run when the screensaver is active? (Defragmentation, Virus on-demand scan....)
-
Believe it or not, I only had KasperSky and a couple background programs (MagicISO, Y! Messenger, and that darned Quicktime), which has never caused a problem with any other games I've run. Oh, wait, you just made me think about Vista's auto-Defrag. *goes to check* Perhaps I should set Defrag on a schedule, to reduce the occurance of this error?
-
Check also the hibernation mode...
Does the crash occur if Vista switches to hibernation? I have disabled it via powercfg.exe
-
I have the same problem. Also, disabling hibernation didn't work;it crashed and took all the files with it. Scoreboard was cleared, Player info was too. The archived postmortems are still there however.
Oh, and I use a PC not a laptop.

Bump/Double post/Update
I read in another thread that you're supposed to use the .bat file, and I haven't been. Is it possible that that's the cause? Farfetched, yes, but I just want to make sure.
EDIT: Upaut would probably still appreciate this being answered, but I switched back to good old XP.
