Spring RTS Engine

Hi all. For people who would like to get the official data files from Total Annihilation to play with some TA-derived games on the Spring Engine, there is a 48h giveaway of Total Annihilation: Commander Pack on GOG.com - valid until 7th June 2020, 1 PM UTC. https://www.gog.com/news/48h_giveaway_get_...

Thanks @Kloot, it should help.

Btw, I created a separate thread for a feature request regarding "Loading..." displayed while Spring it starting. However, I don't know if it is better to use the forum or Mantis for that suggestions.

The Spring engine alone starts 20+ seonds. I created this thread.

The Spring engine alone (spring-*-minimal-portable-linux64-static.7z) starts on my decent hardware (i7-9750H) 20+ seconds. I understand there could be a lot of things to process at start, but the main window becomes irresponsible (or even worse as I pointed out in the another thread ) and that "...

Each time Spring is run, it creates a file called infolog.txt, that tells us what happened. Do you have an infolog.txt where it had the "Hang detection triggered" ? Maybe it could help us narrow done which loading phase took too long. I put the file in that thread: https://springrts.com/p...

Could be helpful to know which loading phase triggered it, but maybe that's a bit much to ask of you. Spring engine itself loads 20+ seconds even my quite decent hardware. I'm fine with waiting so long, but there is just black screen, without any "Loading...". I wonder where it would be b...

> [Watchdog] Hang detection triggered for Spring 104.0 on Fedora
on the Spring statup. Not KP specific, but it prevented me from playing the game.

> HangTimeout = -10

It helped with reporting the application as unresponsive. After several seconds the main menu appeared and I was able to load and play selected game. Thanks!

Thanks for your reply. I started with 104.0, but it was released a while ago, so I gave the nigtly build a try. The log was from nightly, but the stacktrace is similar in both versions. I used to have a package to download (old good times prior to Stream :-/), so I started with the engine itself and...

Hi. The SpringRTS project looks interesting and I wanted to take a closer look. Unfortunately, the engine hangs after start with: Warning: [Watchdog] Hang detection triggered for Spring 104.0.1-2070-gbdaa8d7 develop. Warning: (in threads: {main,load,audio,vfsi}={1,0,0,0}) [CrashHandler] Warning: Sus...
