Wasn't sure the proper sub for this post, so we'll start here.ããUsing SyncTERM 1.1 on Windows 10 64-bit.ããThe door game Yankee Trader plays sounds at various points. They normally show up like the following strings in terminals without sound support:ããBT128O5L48P64CP64C<ascii code 14; music notes>ãBO4L32P32CP64CP64CP64L16EP64L32CP64L12E<ascii code 14; music notes>ããThe way to hear sounds in place of these strings in SycTERM is to set the ANSI music option to "All ANSI Music enabled". The other two options do nothing.ããThe sounds do play when SyncTERM receives these strings in the game, however SyncTERM then immediately crashes and writes the following to the Application log in Event Viewer:ããFaulting application name: syncterm.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000ãFaulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 10.0.19041.1741, time stamp: 0x221456c9ãException code: 0xc0000005ãFault offset: 0x0005f583ãFaulting process id: 0x2264ãFaulting application start time: 0x01d88b25b366eaaeãFaulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\SyncTERM\syncterm.exeãFaulting module path: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dllãReport Id: 5685894c-3191-4bc7-a512-371ff1924027ãFaulting package full name: <blank>ãFaulting package-relative application ID: <blank>ããA similar thing happens in Linux Mint, but instead SyncTERM completely locks up and refuses further input rather than crashing.ããInterestingly, I tried the same thing from Windows Vista 32-bit, and the ANSI music plays there with no problems whatsoever. So I wonder if it's a problem running SyncTERM on specific platforms.ããI spent a lot of time googling for "faulting module path ntdll.dll". Found a lot of topics relating to it, none of which having anything in common with each other, and none having anything to do with SyncTERM.ããAny ideas?ããAlso, can someone else who's running Yankee Trader please try to recreate the issue (or feel free to telnet to conchaos.synchro.net if you don't have the game yourself)? It would be helpful to know if it's just me, or if it's an actual bug in SyncTERM.ãã|01<|09co|03d|11e|15Ÿ|11e|03n|09ix|01>|07ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ -=[ conchaos.synchro.net | ConstructiveChaos BBS ]=-ã

I'm betting you have your ANSI music option set to something other than "All ANSI Music enabled", and that's why it didn't crash for you. ãã DM> Which sequences of ANSI sound/music cause the issue would be a veryã DM> helpful piece of information to have.ããI mentioned this in the initial post, however maybe I wasn't very clear on that and how to recreate the issue.ããWhile playing YT, enter the ship's comptuer by pressing C.ããSyncTERM (and most other terminals) by default will spew the following:ãã BT128O5L48P64CP64C<ascii code 14; music notes symbol>ããIf you set SyncTERM's ANSI music setting to "All ANSI Music enabled", you should hear two quick high-pitched peeps in place of that sequence.ããFor me, on my Windows 10 64-bit machine, SyncTERM immediately crashes after playing that sound.

Simply entering the ship's computer and playing the noise while in that ANSI music mode is enough to make SyncTERM crash (for me at least).ããThanks again for taking the time to try it on your PC.
