XQF crashes

Whenever i open Warsow with XQF and afterwards close the game, then my XQF is not accessible anymore. It looks like this: http://xs215.xs.to/xs215/07206/2007-05- … _scrot.png
Starting from terminal only shows the log of the game but nothing for XQF, so i dont know where to look for this problem. Anybody an idea?

Re: XQF crashes

Just wasow it crashes or other games as well? Tried deleting  the directory /home/user/.qf & trying again?
I`m using xqf to connect to warsow no problems, you also have to update the protocol to "9" for warsow 0.3

XQF > Preferences > Games

I`m using the AUR pkg of warsow

Re: XQF crashes

Mh, delete ~/.qf , reconfigured XQF, made sure of protocol 9 and connected to a server.
When i quit warsow, i still see the XQF window WITH its content, but if i move it behind another window or shade and unshade it, the whole window gets white like in above screen, pretty strange

Re: XQF crashes

Same problem with quake3 and xqf. Maybe a problem with gtk?

Not sure what it is. I know I have this problem for ages, but I don't remember whether I had it since the beginning, or if it happened after a gtk upgrade. It would probably help to have this information.
And also if it happens with every games or not (I only play warsow).
I just had a quick look upstream (mailing list, bug tracker), and I couldn't find this issue mentioned Anyway  1.0.5 is one year old, and looking at the activity on the ML, the development seems pretty dead.

Re: XQF crashes

Same problem here with q3 and savage. Installed xqf 2 weeks ago and noticed this problem since this day.
Couldn't find any solution yet.

Re: XQF crashes

I got the same problem. It started a while ago, but this was definitely done by some upgrade, I haven't had this issue at the beginning.
