Assertion failure in Windows when pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del while a map is loading

[gameboy]

When the progress of the game to reach 29% of the time, the progress of the game is no longer loaded, I waited for nearly three minutes, and the last before I settle down shift + ctrl + alt key.

The way: Do I need to wait for a longer game load time (to wait more than three minutes or longer)? Thank you!

I have a 4G memory. I finally found a more specific error message:

By the way, I did not press shift + ctrl + alt key, I've been waiting for.

The error is a known problem caused by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del while the game is loading in fullscreen mode. See this comment for more info. This is a fairly uncommon bug, as it only affects certain versions of Windows with the game running in fullscreen and the user pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del while a map is loading.

There are numerous workarounds to return to the desktop, in order of preference:

• Press Alt+Enter to minimize the window,
• Or press Alt+Tab or the Windows key,
• Or press Ctrl+Alt+Esc,
• Or set the game to run in windowed mode instead of fullscreen,
• Or press Continue to close the error windows and continue loading the game in windowed mode,
• Or simply wait patiently for the map to load without touching anything :)

Because there are so many workarounds for this uncommon bug, I don't consider it a priority to fix.

As far as how long it takes to load a map, I think it has been mentioned many times that you should try generating a smaller random map or a scenario instead, if you find the maps take too long to load. Most maps will load within seconds, not minutes, on a decent system.

If you find a particular map is worse than others, please name the map, and try different settings to determine when it fails or succeeds loading. Part of a useful bug report is providing us with as much information as possible.

Maybe updating to SDL 2.0 will resolve this, I'll test it.

Confirmed it's not reproducible with SDL 2.0

SDL2 fixes this and is now the default on Windows as of r15786.
