[Watchdog] Hang detection triggered for Spring 104.0 on Fedora

[szpak]

Hi. The SpringRTS project looks interesting and I wanted to take a closer look. Unfortunately, the engine hangs after start with:

Code: Select all

In the log for 104.0 I see also that Spring is trying to read fonts from /etc/fonts where Fedora keeps font definitions in non compatible format. However, it seems to be fixed in the nightly version.

Tested with 104.0 and latest nightly of spring-*-minimal-portable-linux64-static.7z. The engine alone and with the latest stable Kernel Panic. Fedora 31. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 650. The full log attached (from the nightly version).

Why are you using the develop engine? Nobody plays on that. Are you looking at becoming an engine developer?

Why are you fiddling with engine zipfiles? Install Springlobby and join desired battle room, Springlobby should take care of the downloads.

Thanks for your reply. I started with 104.0, but it was released a while ago, so I gave the nigtly build a try. The log was from nightly, but the stacktrace is similar in both versions.

I used to have a package to download (old good times prior to Stream :-/), so I started with the engine itself and the ZIP for Kernel Panic. Based on the installation instructions unzipping them to the same directory should just work.

With SpringLobby it is not so easy. Fedora has 0.267 packaged which doesn't work due to missing email field. I would need to compile it from sources. Do you think it can fix my problem? Or the link to the issue tracker is the way to go?

HangTimeout = -10

Add this value to springsettings.

Hangtimeout on end user settings is fucking garbage and should be defaulted to off. In most cases, someone with an underpowered machine who would usually be able to load properly will end up crashing out because of hangtimeout.

This is the only fucking value that is case sensitive, because fuck you and spring, that's why.

It helped with reporting the application as unresponsive. After several seconds the main menu appeared and I was able to load and play selected game. Thanks!

Thanks @Kloot, it should help.

Btw, I created a separate thread for a feature request regarding "Loading..." displayed while Spring it starting. However, I don't know if it is better to use the forum or Mantis for that suggestions.
