Spring Randomly began freezing on Luarules

Post by ExKGB »

I was playing Balanced Annihilation with my friend and it was working fine. When i restarted my computer and tried to play spring it hung on "treedrawer". That was righted by simply turning off 3D trees.

Now spring hangs whilst loading Luarules, and I have no idea why. I've tried reinstalling, and restarting my PC.

Below is the logfile:

Any help would be much appreciated!

moved infolog to pastebin because it breaks formating of forum.

infolog is cut off :/ (not your fault)
That map+game work for me (tested) so it is not something like metalspotfinder freezing up. At least not all the time.

you can try to redirect stdout and stderr to a file so there is a complete log.
Might be a bit complicated if you are not familiar with it:

Could also try to disable even more things in springsettings.exe (lua shaders?) and see if that gets it working.
Then enable things 1 by 1 until it breaks.

You also need to remember that it worked fine using these exact settings. So I don't know what could have happened. The Infolog was exactly as I found it when I checked last.

Sorry for breaking formatting, thank you for putting it in pastebin.

.:EDIT:.

I turned off a lot of settings and it actually crashed this time before it even got to LuaRules.

.:EDIT2:.
After the above crash, it actually worked, but then I tried turning settings on again and it has not worked since, although it freezes on LuaUI rather than LuaRules
If 3Dtrees are turned on it freezes on tree drawer

Remember, I have played Spring with ALL OF THE FEATURES TURNED ON, and it worked fine. So I'm clueless.

.:FINAL EDIT:.
Freezes on LuaUI, Infolog below

That the log stops at certain points does not necessarily mean that the last logged item caused the crash. There is currently a bug/feature that it does not get written instantly: http://springrts.com/mantis/view.php?id=2796

On the actual problem I have no idea, maybe some engine dev can tell something from the stacktrace.
Could try this:
Edit springsettings.cfg + add a line LoadingMT = 0
seems to be the new anti-everything-cure ;)
