AmigaOS 4.1 Final causes freeze with some programs
Posted: Mon Jan 12, 2015 8:23 pm
I happen to experience some freezes with AmigaOS 4.1 Final on my AmigaOne 500.
Sometimes when running the ScreenBlanker preference for a short while, exiting it can cause the OS to freeze and a hard reset would be neccessary.
Other programs that can experience problems are the old OctaMED SoundStudio V1.0.3c. It did however work just fine with AmigaOS 4.1 Update 6, but not so well in AmigaOS 4.1 Final. Wonder why.
The ScummVM can now and then cause a GR message, and when trying to ignore it, the system freezes and a hard reset has to happen. But ScummVM often works, actually.
I find this kind of behaviour of AmigaOS 4.1 Final strange. Can't find the reason why it does. Is AmigaOS 4.1 Final sacrifying some compatibility because of new features?
