Spring is running in SMP

dxsound has been ripped out today.

Oh no, there goes my thread safe class

(not the freeze-thing..)

Got some new input for you about the freezes. Spring 1944 seems to cause some GML errors though so I got some data from a BA game aswell.

Both archives contain infolog, replay and the stack output from the linked Microsoft tool.

half way throug a game, using smp, i get dysinced in spring:1944. if you need any logs, or suchlike, let me know

[xyz]

Here is another log from a crash. There is another 440M file that i have not included in the zip file, but if you need it, let me know and i will uploaded it somewhere.
I have also used ollydbg to attach to the spring process while it hanged, but i don't yet now if i can save the execution point and send that also.

Hope this info helps.

[zerver]

xyz, I'm note sure which version of spring you were running since you didn't provide the infolog. Please try to reproduce the error with this latest version if you can.

Ok, I'll try it tonight.

The build that i used is the one found here: http://planetspring.free.fr/spring/exec ... 009a68.zip

And by the way, do you have a list of the LUA widgets that are not thread safe?

Thanks.

[zerver]

No, I don't have a list.

Also, I discovered a bug in this new version so don't use it. It tends to hang when you select AI...

[xyz]

Ok, when you have a version that needs to be tested let me know.

[zerver]

Feel free to try this one: http://zerver.net/spring.zip

Because of changes to the build server, I will not release any more fixed GML executables until the next official spring release. No infologs please :)

I've tested the build yesterday for a few hours (8 - 10 games) and the only odd thing that happened besides a Spring crash (witch i suspect it was not related to the MT) was a small freeze, but by the time I managed to opened the debug tools and get the PID, the game was closed completely with no error message.

[zerver]

Thanks for the feedback. Like I said, please don't post any error reports since I have halted development until the next official Spring release. But you could try disabling widgets.

Right now I'm using:
Startboxes
Immobilebuilder
and I have LuaShaders disabled.

I will also post here if I encounter any hangs.

Hello,

The build still freeze, it happened in a multi player game, but the freezing is a lot rear than it us to be. I have the debug info saved in case you are curios.

Hm, what about linux users? How can they be involved in testing?

[zerver]

0.79.0.2 MT is here:
http://planetspring.free.fr/spring/exec ... 85fa21.zip

It is largely untested, but please feel free to try.

Changes from 0.78.2.1 MT:
* Better concurrency --> Lower CPU usage
* Does not create nano particles outside of view
* No hitsphere display when you press B

Known bugs:
* Graphical glitches such as some flickering projectiles, flickering self-shadow, flickering FPS HUD.
* Some mods/widgets may not work and could hang the game. These widgets are known to work: Minimap start boxes, Immobile builders, Autoquit

Concerning Linux, you have to build the source from the "079" branch.
Use options -DUSE_GML -DUSE_GML_SIM. There is a "MT" profile on buildserv that you can use.
Unfortunately I have no Linux skill, so I can't help you. Maybe someone else can?

Hi,
Nice to have some new toys to play with :) Unfortunately mine already broke while viewing a replay.
I've attached infolog, and the debug info. I can also attach the replay if you want.

Here is the replay. The game freezes in the exact same spot every time, Just watch player [PYB]Awesome. the game will freeze just before this guy fishes building an advance fusion reactor.

BTW the replay was made with the non SMP build.

Incompatible widgets...

That means that this branch will nerve get adopted as the default one, as i seriously doubt that all the mod coders will rewrite all they widget to make them compatible with it?
