Mangosd.exe crash at character creation

[Mister D]

Hello everyone, this is my first time trying MaNGOS, so my problem might just be a result of my own ignorance.

I've compiled and installed mangos as instructed by Phenomenons guide, that all seems like it went correctly, but now when I try to create a character mangos crashes.

I'm using the most recent source code, without any patches, and I'm using the most recent UDB. I am including this crash log:

I am running mangos on a dedicated machine, an old pentium 3, does this error: "Exception code: C000001D ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION" have anything to do with my cpu not supporting an instruction?

When I read through this forum I saw one topic about the same problem, it was said that it was a database issue. I deleted my database and rebuilt it, as I thought I might have made a mistake, but the result was the same.

The crash occurs when I try to create a new character, or when I try to log in with that character, dependent on the race/class, I haven't yet found a combination which doesn't crash at all. Since it's race/class dependent it seems to me like a database issue, but since I'm a noob and rebuilding the database didn't fix the problem I'm asking if anyone might have an idea what the issue is, and what this: "Exception code: C000001D ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION" actually means.

Thank you in advance for your help.

*EDIT*

After more testing it seems that it depends on the race when mangosd.exe crashes, some races when clicking on accept when creating a new character, other races after you click on enter world with them.

Look like. As i remember some libs used in mangos expect support sse instractions or some other...

[Mister D]

Pentium 3 does have SSE though, but it doesn't have SSE2, but then again, Athlon XP doesn't either.

I now just read a topic in General Help about someone with an Athlon XP with the same problem, maybe it is a lack of SSE2 that is the problem.

[Mister D]

I just compiled mangos without any SSE support, and this looks like it did the trick. I can now log in and play without any issues so far. I'll try to see if I can get SSE support, but not SSE support another time, and I'll see if I can do this same trick compiling for linux, since I do want to switch to linux soon.
