AHHH "To many timers"!!

[Buggi]

ARGH!!

Where does this error come from?

Me and a friend were playing on my LAN in just a regular game when suddenly... WHAM, we were both inundated with the error "to many timers"

Needless to say, it obliterated playability. Pathfinding seemed to go out the window, as did any unit's sense of purpose.

I just found the code where it prints out the line.

TimeProfiler.cpp

Code: Select all

void CTimeProfiler::StartTimer()
{
	if(startTimeNum==999){
		info->AddLine("To many timers");
		return;
	}
	LARGE_INTEGER starttime;
	QueryPerformanceCounter(&starttime);

	startTimes[startTimeNum++]=(starttime.QuadPart);
}

?!?!

Anyone else hitting this? Is there a fix? I know he had a lot of airplanes, I know this because they were in my base a short time later. O_O

Thats probably caused by a "timer leak", that is calling start_time_profile somewhere without a end_time_profile. The biggest problem with this is that it screws up the main simtime counter which the game rely on to lower speed.

Have you made any custom modifications to your exe ?

Aside from the patch I submitted, no. I don't change anything.

Sounds like someone needs to scan the code for start_time_profile commands, and find out where the missing end_time_profile command is.

Sounds like someone needs to scan the code for start_time_profile commands, and find out where the missing end_time_profile command is.

Or have start_time_profile return an structure which has a destructor which calls end_time_profile(then a quick check to prevent end_time_profile from being called more than once) when it falls out of scope.

Please fix it.

I beg you.

Also, "to many unit categories"
