[1.6.0 FIXED] CTD with "illegal instruction"

[Grunz]

I get the illegal instruction error when starting via console.
As it crashes under windows too, I guess the same thing happens there, but I obviously can't get an error message.

log:

Crashed after that. Probably trying to use mmx4 instructions or something akin.

My CPU is old, but not antique. It is a Phenom II quad core and not a pentium or the like.
I suggest toning down the required instruction set a bit to allow for older machines.

Thanks for reporting this! You are right. I've targeted the instruction set for "core2" architecture and above.

Intel Core 2 CPU with 64-bit extensions, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3 and SSSE3 instruction set support.

I wasn't aware there were older CPUs still in use I will target for a more generic x86 instruction set without any SIMD extensions.

[Grunz]

The only thing from this list the Phenom II does not know is SSSE3.

From my CPUinfo:

Code: Select all

MMX, extended 3DNow!, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSE4a, AMD64, Cool'n'Quiet, NX bit, AMD-V

Try again with version 1.6.1

It should now work with any x86 CPU.

[Grunz]

As long as you require 64 bit OS, you can also assume 64 bit CPUs obviously. So that'd be Athlon 64 or Pentium 4 at least - older ones are not 64 bit.
Those two both support MMX, SSE, SSE2 and SSE3.

The download link for the 1.6.1 Windows version gives a 404.

I guess I could enable some SIMD instructions, they aren't really important for the performance gain though. It's not like a turn-based game like LabyDX is computation heavy

Oh seems there is something wrong with the windows download. I will fix it asap.

Download link should work now.
