DARKPlaces and QW servers

[R00k]

I'm having a problem connecting to qw servers using DP.
The engine just locks up. Anyone else get this?

Ya, ya why play qw servers with DP?
Why play qw at all?

I like DP > ezQ and around lunch time only QW players in east Botswana are playing! ;P

Thats odd cuz, I'm ready to FN QUAKE BRAH?!

What server are you connecting to that causes the crash? What config settings?

It may be a general bug or it may be specific, more details are helpful.

Hey, did anyone ever find a fix for this? I'm getting this problem too and would really like if I can play some qw coop with Darkplaces. I can join Darkplaces servers just fine and Singleplayer is just a blast, but when I join any Quakeworld server the client closes, starts again, and just locks up.

Here's what i think is my config (I heard it helps if I post this)
"gl_picmip" "0"
"gl_texturecompression" "1"
"vid_samples" "4"
"gl_texture_anisotropy" "8"
"r_glsl_offsetmapping" "1"
"cl_particles_quality" "4"
"r_glsl" "1"
"r_shadow_realtime_world" "1"
"r_water" "1"
"sv_entpatch" "1"
"r_hdr_scenebrightness" "1.187500"
"v_contrast" "1.375000"
"v_gamma" "1.437500"
"r_wateralpha" "1"

My Specs (I heard this also helps)
Phenom 2 X4 @ 3.4 Ghz
GTX 460 1 GB
4 GB DDR3 1333 RAM

I'm unable to get a screenshot (I know how, it just locks up before I get the opportunity to), but if anyone can help me I'd be really grateful. If it makes a difference I got my client from here: Quake "Epsilon" Builds for Windows/Mac/Linux

works here, XS4ALL - QuakeWorld FOD Free For All (194.109.69.75:2750)

Ubuntu 12.04 64bit, darkplaces from 2012.01.26, compiled by me after removing v_gunkick or whatever it's called for qw

So if I removed v_gunkick (no idea how tbh), I should be fine?

nope. Has nothing to do with connections, I just mentioned it as the reason for self compiling.

aye, crashed for me too last time I tried. something to do with config issues and changing gamedirs I believe. painful type stuff to crack.

Mostly happens from the server browser.
I didnt try to type the ip from the config. But ya it kinda flashed the screen the hangs. Thinking it closed i noticed it was still in the task manager...

I guess I could try running in debug mode.
