Operation Templar crash
on: March 10, 2016, 02:46:10 pm
When playing the first mission of Operation Templar...the mission crashed multiple times (I tried it various times).  It seemed to happen usually after the enemy Osiris bombers come out of the captured Typhon.

I was using a recent nightly build.

Here's a log.

I actually can't find anything wrong in the log, except that it cuts out without a crash message. Can you run a debug build of your nightly?

...Uh, Galemp, debug logs are only generated by debug builds.

Unfortunately, without anything in the log to indicate why it crashed, it's of limited troubleshooting utility.

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

<@The_E> Welcome to OpenGL, where standards compliance is optional, and error reporting inconsistent

<MageKing17> It was all working perfectly until I actually tried it on an actual mission.

Does the bug persist if you disable the MediaVps?

I'm not sure exactly what happened, but I found a way around it.

I switched to a slightly older nightly build for the first mission and that for some reason worked fine.  Afterwards for the second mission I switched back to a recent nightly build and that worked good.


So for some reason the first mission wouldn't work on a recent nightly build.

Can you advise which nightly builds you used that worked and which didn't?

I'll try to get more information later but for now:

http://swc.fs2downloads.com/builds/WIN/fso_Standard_20160229_dc708cc.7z (this is the most recent one I used that did not work on the first mission)-released February 29, 2016

http://swc.fs2downloads.com/builds/WIN/fso_Standard_20160215_801b808.7z (this is a somewhat recent build that didn't work on the first mission but it worked when I switched back to this after the first mission)-released February 15, 2016

Thanks - when you have a chance knowing which build did work on the 1st mission would be useful.
