Nice!!!

Does it also explain why (only) excessive plus crashes when I wait for the map change after I updated my unstable Debian yesterday?

I'm serious. I have all kinds of mods. But only excessive plus manages to crash when there is a map change.

(You don't need to tell me not to use unstable since I can't)

I would really, REALLY appreciate any suggestion... since I love x+....

unstable... this is not the problem
unstable is not unstable, is new software and also I use debian testing/unstable.

I found out what caused the problem. It crashes right in the moment it tries to write the screenshot.

That worked perfectly before. But since the unstable update I have to disable it now to prevent the client from crashing.

I wonder what could have changed during that update that could break the screenshot functionality?

Any ideas?
