When I add a widget CustomFormations+1 the game crashes at indefinite point of time if I try to order the group of units to move to one point. The game hangs both when in game-with-robots mode and when in multiplayer. Logs attached.

Yep the widget probably has a bug because it hangs in MouseRelease. Report the bug to the authors or try to fix it yourself.

the author was not on the forum for 3 years. how to determine where in the error?

Look for errors (search for "Customformations") in infolog.txt in spring directory. It should have the error and the line in the widget.

Weird that the whole game crashes...

Ah sorry, you attached that file. It seems that the widget causes a crash upstream. In this case, you could notify the makers of the mod (game) you are playing.

I know that this happens in some cases. Modside widgets should probably have better error handling and not crash in cases like these. I know that a similar thing happens if you try to calculate the length of a string that is a number.

in the log file, there are no errors. ((((

Error: LuaUI::RunCallIn: error = 2, MouseRelease, [string "LuaUI\Widgets\gui_unitgroups5_1.lua"]:798: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)

I'm sorry. it is very difficult for me. there is no debugger. I'm sorry.

add this widget:
https://github.com/spring/spring/blob/d ... tchdog.lua

this maybe gives you a hint where it hangs
