Snow Leopard: Official build crashes on loading [SOLVED]

[CommanderAndy]

Hello! I am new to Spring, and I am trying to run the latest official Mac build (84.0). The game launches just fine, so I downloaded and installed Balanced Annihilation v7.60 and one map (Delta Siege Dry). However, whenever I start the game, it crashes on the loading screen immediately after "Loading Radar Icons".

I looked at my log file, and here's what I found:

Code: Select all

[f=0000000] Loading Radar Icons

Changing the AI script a couple times did not seem to do anything. Is this a problem with the game/map I installed, or is this a problem with my install of Spring?

Try to put this on your .springrc file (in your home dir):
LoadingMT=0

It should work.

[CommanderAndy]

Yes, that did work! Thank you. :)

So then (apparently) multithreading is not yet supported on Mac/Snow Leopard, and must be disabled before the game will launch? Seems like MT should be disabled by default on the Mac version, if it's not supported yet.

EDIT: I actually changed the setting from the Spring main menu, instead of editing my ".springrc" file. So apparently changing the setting in Spring works as well. I changed the "LoadingMT" value to 0 in the settings panel, and successfully started the game without Spring crashing.

side-note:
it is only loading-MT, which means, you will have single threaded loading. this setting has no effect as soon as you are in-game. it is a rather unimportant thing.
there is spring-multithreaded, though even that only separated some drawing stuff into an other thread, and is not as stable as single threaded spring.
-> you dont miss much.

Ah, I see. I thought it was going to affect more than that. Good to know, thanks! :)

85.0 crash in the beginning of the battle
Zero-k

infolog.txt
apple.log

.springrc:

InputTextGeo = 0.480042 0.805000 0.02 0.300000
LoadingMT = 0
ShowPlayerInfo = 0
Version = 5

I think it is because of the second graphics card. Intel

[danil_kalina]

Balanced Annihilation works fine

[abma]

how did you get apple.log? (sorry, apple noob)

[hybridtupel]

I think he got it out from the crashreporter. If a program crashes, you get information about it and can send it to apple, to improve the programs.
I don't know how Apple wants to improve the programs of third party developers, but that's another story.

[danil_kalina]

exactly)

You can install windows on your mac. Windows works well with this game!

[abma]

this development build should print more useful stacktraces:

(can't try for myself)


imo installing windows is no solution...

[danil_kalina]

Balanced Annihilation works fine, but there is Sync Error:

unitsync.log
infolog.txt


Zero-K crashes:

unitsync.log
infolog.txt
apple.log

[abma]

the desync is expected, because its a different version. sorry, should have said that you can't use it for online play :-/.

[danil_kalina]

hmm, but hoijui says that if spring minor version changed you can play without desync. so, it is 86.0 not a 85.0.1

[abma]

yeah, thats correct for releases...

[hoijui]

as the docu sais, yo ucan do string equality test with versions to see if they sync, with the versions returned by GetSpringVersion().

[danil_kalina]

Thanks hoijui for correcting me
for now
GetSpringVersion() returns 85.0.1-112-g69ac7c4 for that build
previously
GetSpringVersion() returns 85

I have the same problem with Zero-K and Cursed with the game just crashing.
