Spring RTS Engine

So I had a crash, and I had LUAUI crap itself, although after several restarts via the /luaui reload command, LUAUI worked properly. All this is a WinXP machine that has run Spring flawlessly for some time.

I saved infolog.txt for both instances. Should I post them? Excerpts follow:

LUA error, happened three times, same message AFAIK:

OK, and the Spring crash infolog looked like this:

I think you have two different issues. I've had the skirmishAiCallback crash in all 0.79.x.x clients, see:

Looks like the Custom Formations Widget from BA has similar problem like the one in CA.

lua bug and the ai bug may actually be related, and may also exhibit itself as desyncs in other cases. we have a hunch as to what may cause this, and it's possible that the fix is already in master, we're not sure though.

Just some details if they help: the custom formations widget went wrong in NOTA plus LOLUI, I restarted LUAUI several times and for no apparent reason it "took" and started working again after the third chat-reload.

Thanks for the info, all! It's good to know.

I have been having problems with the custom formations widget in CA too - it was getting horribly stuck then crashing LuaUI. When I dragged a formation line out, the line would remain drawn when I released the mouse button, and the units wouln't actually get the order. After a bit of clicking or time, it would crash as described in OP.

I have the same kind of crash:

Those errors involving MouseRelease started with 0.79.1.0. Could be just a coincidence, that I got a wrong widget recently, but maybe not.

The annoying bits are that I can't debug since it doesn't give a widget filename and line, and also it kills the whole LuaUI when it happens too much.

yes, we think it was fixed in this commit, which unfortunately isn't included in 79.1. i personally hope 79.2 will be released by the end of the week.
