76b1+ is full of crashes and unplayable.

Post by KDR_11k »

I don't think I have infologs at hand so I can't upload any but there are some serious crash problems with 76b1+. It seems like the last player to load will always crash and some time into the game the host crashes. I'm not able to fix those crashes myself and I (and a few others) suspect that something in the network code causes the problems. I've already removed a crash because a log message was trying to access a pointer that has been reset moments before and I suspect similar oversights remain.

The crashes happen in network/internet play, local play or two Springs on the same PC won't cause them.

Is anyone looking into this yet?

Well, I didn't encounter so many bugs so far during my autohost tests (I just noticed that one: viewtopic.php?p=263040#p263040 ).
However I haven't really tried full length games, and I'm stuck at r5560 because the dedicated server doesn't compile on later revisions...

k, the join crash seems fixed. We're still getting some kind of error that displays a messagebox, I can't read it because it disappears immediately. A glimpse I saw of it let me see that it's something about boost and string formats but that's all I could see. Overkill and I think it might be related to units being destroyed (we've only tested with THIS so no idea if it's something triggered by the mod).
