Crash in some place all the time

[Cybolic]

We hopefully have a fix that will be coming out later today.

Looking forward to it!

Hello,

I seem to have a similar problem. It crashes on me on the Lambda station, either when I initially talk to Catherine (always when she notices the omnitool) or shortly before.

Im running ArchLinux (64 bit, kernel 3.14 lts) and had to apply the SDL library hack to get the game working. I obtained some backtraces through gdb, they seem to be similar between each crash: https://gist.github.com/sahib/f25a2684f2cbc1c6d5d1

I got the game from GOG if that matters.

If the devs need the full coredump, I could provide it too.

Just got to that point in the game, same problem on Mint. Glad I found this thread and that a fix is coming, hope patch comes to GoG aswell. Looking forward to continuing, game has been pretty cool so far. GL

Just got an 8 MB patch on Steam and the issue has been resolved, thanks very much!

you can disable memory error checking using "MALLOC_CHECK_" environment variable:
$ export MALLOC_CHECK_=0
$ "$HOME/GOG Games/SOMA/start.sh"

this will disable checking for "double free or corruption" and won't kill the game,
don't blame me if shit gets corrupted...

Yup just uploaded a new build to fix this memory check crash, glad to hear its working.
