New to SWP: Constant Crashing

  Hi everyone. Sorry to barge in with a topic like this, but I didn't know where else I might find help!
  
  I'm really impressed with SWP so far. It looks fantastic with the high def pack, and it lets me play Shadow Warrior again, which I haven't been able to do in years. Unfortunately, I keep getting crashes inside of five minutes when I play the game. Here's what the log from SWP says:
  
  Fatal Signal caught: SIGSEGV. Bailing out.
  
  And here's what event viewer says:
  
  Faulting application name: Swp.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4b50e882
  Faulting module name: Swp.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4b50e882
  Exception code: 0xc0000005
  Fault offset: 0x0010479e
  Faulting process id: 0x644
  Faulting application start time: 0x01ca9d0b5cf46f4f
  Faulting application path: [REDACTED]\Swp.exe
  Faulting module path: [REDACTED]\Swp.exe
  Report Id: d46a682a-08fe-11df-b543-001fbc01945b
  
  I'm running on Windows 7 Professional, and I'm using an intel i7 920 processor with 6 GB memory and an EVGA GTX 275. I'm also using the high-def texture pack, and playing with high-res models turned OFF (I like the sprites).
  
  Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

  Re: New to SWP: Constant Crashing

  I haven't tested SWP lately, but I suppose all these problems are caused due to gcc 4.4.x compiler.
  
  All compiled binaries of Duke3dw and EDuke32 with gcc 4.4.0 or 4.4.1 are broken, so I suppose this happens also for SWP.
  
  The best gcc version for now is 4.3.3, till all bugs of gcc 4.4.x series are fixed.
  
  Better wait for a new SWP binary compiled with gcc 4.3.3

  Hi Vibration,
  
  Yeah we currently have a compile problem as supergoofy says, but here is a re-compiled beta for you which should solve most your problems.

  See how that goes.

  Wow! Thanks a lot, to both of you. I'll give this a try tonight and report back after putting SWP through the paces.
  
  I appreciate the quick help, and awesome program.

  If you enabled good alpha, try disabling it. I have constant crashes whenever I enable it.
