      Thanks for reporting this. It sound that's either an upstream regression or some changes have been added which require some extra content we (i.e. the RetroPie installation) don't provide.

      Did you run a git bisect to get the 4f4eca5 commit ?

        I arrived at that commit by trial and error, many months ago, and it turns out I gave up too early. Following the output of git bisect, I was able to run "2c30ae9" without issue. The next commit, "5c514df" seems to be where the issue begins.

            It's a data point. I also cannot reproduce the crash, but I've only toyed with the shareware version, which RetroPie installs. I'll try with the full game data later on, but I'm wandering if this is not a local config issue.

            @MoleMan can you run with -debug -safelog and see where exactly it crashes ?

              I posted the log on Pastebin:

              gamelog.txt

              The last line says "Doing gamedata_init..."

                  I have confirmed that the shareware version of the game data works for me, as well. The issue only occurs when I try running the full commercial version of the game.

                    so i had to hunt down my CDs, since my files i use on my HHD was the demo? or that is what always came up.

                    and where is what i found. i have 2 versions a DOS version and a Anniversary Edition.
                    my DOS version crashes, but my Anniversary Edition works just fine

                    so im thinking it has something to do with the game version. a version 1.00 will not work, but a later one will?

                      That seems to be the case. Since there is a full commercial version of the game that works with DXX-Rebirth, I'd say this issue is resolved for me.

                        I have tested the DOS ('95) edition and crashes - I think when loading a level, either in the initial 'attract' sequence or manually starting a level. We'll see to report it upstream, maybe they'll figure out the fix.
