Hi
Sorry to hear about that, but that can't be caused by dangerdeep for several reasons. But let's start by the graphics. You mention that you tried it on your laptop, we know there were some issues on some integrated graphics cards, intel chipsets, that caused the display of black zebra like stripes on the sky. Afaik, that was the only issue that was present in intel integrated graphics, even if you disabled the shaders, it was an hardware issue (and it never caused a crash, and even if it did, it would never hardcrash the machine, it would imediatly shutdown dangerdeep, as you had the opportunity to see for yourself, when you installed the data files in the wrong location - that's what could happen in the worst case scenario > imediate exit back to desktop > dangerdeep doesn't runs in kernel space). Now, regarding your problem, we've been doing some tests on release candidates for the past week, and we didn't found any problem like the one you mentioned (tested on windows too obviously
). I was just talking with the other developers, and from what you mention, it sounds like a buggy driver. Dangerdeep couldn't ever cause such a bad crash. In the worst case, dangerdeep itself would crash and return to desktop. The crash you mentioned could only be caused ay buggy drivers, or from the kernel itself, as normal processes (programs) can't reboot the machine, or crash it that bad. The data loss on hdd, caused by the hard crash, can be blamed on non-journaling filesystems. As to what causes the crash to be severe, i'm really sorry you had this situation in the first place, but, what triggered that series of events wasn't dangerdeep.
You might want to check if your drivers are the most recent, etc... perhaps you want to post your configuration in dangerdeep's forums as well.
