Hello,

please help us by providing more information about your system next
time. The reportbug tool is quite convenient for this matter because it
automatically detects which Debian distribution you run, the
architecture, and the versions of all installed package dependencies.
Without those information I can only guess what went wrong. Also please
always try to confirm or not confirm the bug with other games that use
the same graphic stack. Very often the underlying issue is in SDL or
SFML or even lower in the X or driver stack.

So for the record the game currently works fine on amd64, testing with
GNOME 3. It doesn't work for me on i386, sid, Openbox, LXDE, Xfce4 and
Enlightenment. The game just segfaults the moment when the window is
normally created.

I am attaching a debug log with the relevant information. I am not sure
if this is a bug in libsfml-window2.4 or marsshooter itself because I
can't reproduce it with Extremetuxracer. I only know that the game
worked fine a couple of months ago when I tried it on i386 and the code
has not changed.

I'm ccing James maybe he is able to spot the error immediately.

Regards,

Markus
