Follow-up Comment #3, bug #23592 (project freeciv): I did some fairly thorough testing on my 32-bit English Windows 7 Home Premium setup to try to reproduce trouble of this kind, and failed; I conclude that my machine is unaffected, so I can't help track this down.
I tried most of the combinations of: 2.5.1, 2.5.1+r30387 <http://download.gna.org/freeciv/packages/windows/testing/cazfi/2.5.1+r30387/> * freeciv-gtk2, freeciv-server * system display languages English, Gaeilge * locales: pl, ja, ko, bg, ru, fr, de, ga, gd, en_US, en_GB, auto[=en_GB], non-existent "spong" In none of these cases did the server fail to start, and I didn't notice any other trouble. (For the client cases I quit the game immediately after it started.) (I did get the "Invalid string conversion from UTF-8 to CP1252" message for freeciv-server in languages like pl, ja, ru. I think this is simply that the character set of the Windows console on my system doesn't have the characters needed for those languages, and doesn't itself mean we should expect other weirdness.) _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://gna.org/bugs/?23592> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
