Winboard Forum

hi all,
i'm sure this has been covered before.
i am using winxp,winboard 4.2.5.
i have noticed that crafty seems to exit unexpectivly quite often in
ics mode.from what i have noticed when i pay attention,when the
opponent resigns seems to be a problem.
well antway i remembered to do a debug.
even though there was no resign,this is dipicle.
i think i've got the right part posted below.
help appreciated.
regards
mike

Which crafty binary are you using?

crafty 19.18,compiled by b.hoffman.
but this problem is not isolated to this particular crafty.

It would appear that the SSE & SSE2 compiles would cause this. I have a newer method of compiling in which I do not use the SSE or SSE2 and the compiles are faster than my previous ones. I just uploaded the new 19.19 with the new compile method, I would recommend using these.

hi bryan,i seen the post for 19.19.
i'll check it out.
your 19.18 seems on first hand to be quicker.
i'll keep you posted.
thanks regards
mike

hi all,
last night i set up crafty1918 on fics and went off to bed.
here's another debug.
it appears crafty did'nt reset before the next game.

I just uploaded new compiles to my web site that are faster then the previous ones. I would recommend using these as the SSE2 compiles I had reports of problems just like your having.
