To rule out thermal issues completely.....do other 3D games have no problems? Whatever, try a shooter, eg nexuiz.

Optimus laptops often have a really bad thermal design ootb. If there is a little dust inside, a game may crash. here even on windows; had to drill holes into the backside to improve airflow around the GPU/CPU combining heatpipe.

Do not hesitate to visit irc channel #0ad-dev and ask the devs directly what you could do to debug.

Shot in the dark:

try the 331.xx NVIDIA driver version (assuming your 7xx GPU is supported).

Really sorry for your bad luck, btw

Ok zzippy, I will try as soon as possible, but I'm sceptical with the thermal theory, since the game was working perfectly before I posted the first time on this topic, and the game also crashes when the computer is cold after hours of non-use. And before this topic, the game was working with the 343 driver.

@Georges : No, Georges, nvidia-343 is more recent than 331, and 343 supports the two chips.

http://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/77409/en-us "Supported products" tab. I have the GeForce GTX 760M.

I know it. But you have to do only a check with 331. Nothing more.

See here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HybridGraphics

And maybe here (for an idea): http://afterhourscoding.wordpress.com/2014/04/30/dell-l502x-optimus-support-on-ubuntu-14-04/

I know how to change my drivers, that's the fourth time I change my graphic drivers since I have problems with 0AD, I'm just tired of this xD

I know that you know how to change your drivers, Alembic. I wanted just to show you that hybrid graphics fonction propably with only nvidia-331 driver as we can see here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HybridGraphics

Georges thats nonsense. Hybrid graphics used to work since NVIDIA 319.xx beta. And for all following versions. And, btw, forget that ubuntu.com wiki. It really is mostly outdated.

What do you can see in the end of this page of ubuntu.com wiki like date and time? Maybe: 2014-09-04 12:59:58 ?

@ Georges

Well, I used to write the wiki articles (related to hybrid graphics) for http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/ . This Wiki (german) is the best ubuntu wiki on this planet, no question.

That ubuntu.com wiki is -compared- a joke. Maybe that article is up to date now, but at the beginnings of hybrid graphics in linux they had no idea at all.

Anyway, our discussion is a little offtopic and useless, so I stop here.

I've just tested nvidia-331, for the moment the games runs. But for how many time ? With the 343 the game was working perfectly 15 minutes until the game crashed. I will test the game tonight and tell you if I'm still unlucky ^^

I have GeForce GT540m and on page of nvidia writes like driver: 343. I use driver 331-updates. I have no problem with the game.

@Zzippy : For the temperature, I just ran 4 glxgears (that's "agressive" monocore, so I ran one per core), the processor temperature was 85-95 degrees and the Nvidia GPU was 62 degrees, stable. No problems.

@Georges : Yeah, but driver 343 also brings some improvements, that's why I installed it. But if the 331 driver works for me, I will keep it. However, if the game has a problem with 343, the developers may be interested.
