Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone experiences the same crash and maybe found a solution.

In the mission where you are going to KY Cygni with the Meleander, there is a cutscene-y mission where you talk with some other guy. The "Cutscene" begins with the large display of jump nodes, as you are moving  from Delta Majoris to KY Cygni. When the screen fades to black at the end, the game crashes.

The version I am using is:
3.7.3 82ae54a SSE;
flags used are
 -mod ShadowGenesis,MediaVPs_2014 -missile_lighting -3dshockwave -post_process -soft_particles -fxaa -fb_explosions
-enable_shadows -dualscanlines -no_glsl -disable_glsl_model -ambient_factor 75 -spec_exp 11 -spec_point 0.6
-spec_static 0.8 -spec_tube 0.4 -ogl_spec 60
and I run this on a AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1055T Processor / AMD Radeon 7700.

Otherwise, the mod is GOOD. Character development, BoEs, new fighters and cruisers, a sequel to the FS2 we all know - Great work guys. I am really having a great time.

Please post your fs2_open.log file.  Instructions on how to do this can be found in this post.

I'm glad you like it . The best part of campaign is waiting for you, when your problem is solved.

We never tested SG with MVP 2014, so this may be a problem but I doubt so. Some people played SG with MVP 2014 with no problems. Keep in mind that you may find missing textures, as many old tile textures were removed from MVP 2014. Proper remake and extension is in WiP stage. Rerelease called Shadow Genesis: Reborn will be fully compatible with MediaVPs 2014.

Alright, here goes the log.

Hm. It appears I "circumvented" the error by using a 3 7 2 build, but now at the mission before "Devil's plain", gamma and epsilon wings self destruct and the mission is a looot harder. Huh.

[tomimaki]

Install patch for SG. Dunno if it helps but still...

OMG, how I could be that stupid .

1.1a is actually rebalancing a lot of crap in 1.0 release, fix numerous errors... And has one very pretty bomber! You can find it in release thread.

I'm getting the bug as well.  The patch didn't seem to have ab effect.  It;s during the cutscene after the jump node map, after the first line of text.   I have tried it with the 3.7.2 and 3.7.3 builds and it does the same thing- Freespace open crashes.  Love the mod though, very impressive! Here is my debug log:

No, debug log is a file named fs2_open.log located, in your case, in D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Freespace 2\data\
Anyway MV_RadarIcons.vp is broken. Redownload file through installer or get it manually from this topic. Then try again to get debug log of that crash.

[Nyctaeus]

And SG is not supporting radar icons. I never tested it with radar icons, but I was thinking that it would work without problems. I quess it's not . Delete the file.

I promise I will make radar icons support in SG: Reborn.

[rackemrack]

Gotcha.  Here is the log file.  Thanks again.

[Nyctaeus]

Meh, I see nothing but bunch of old, crappy models. And the game reads things that it should not read, like particles for artillery cannons.

Did you delete radar icons?

[tomimaki]

He deleted it, it's in the log.
Anyway I was able to reproduce crash. Recent nightly is more informative:

Code: [Select]

ASSERTION: "pss->triggered_rotation_index >= 0" at modelanim.cpp:849
 Unable to find triggered rotation for ship Nirvana.

[Nyctaeus]

Hmmm... I never encounted anything like this before. Are you using any external shaders or something like this?

[AdmiralRalwood]

Hmmm... I never encounted anything like this before. Are you using any external shaders or something like this?

Code: [Select]

Game Settings Table: External shaders are DISABLED


[rackemrack]

Is there any way to just simply skip this animation/mission so that I can keep going with the campaign?

[Nyctaeus]

In current situation, the only way is to try older builds or playing missions directly from techroom. Use Ctrl+Shift+S in mission simulator.

Sorry for problems. SG is pretty old, and currently with no time and resources I have no way to update it or do anything else. I will try to reproduce the error myself when I get my PC back.

[tomimaki]

Seems missing turret13 in model for Nirvana.

@rackemrack
Put attached file into Freespace 2\Shadow Genesis 1.1\data\tables (create folders if they don't exist)
For me it fixed crash in that cutscene.

[attachment DELETED!! by Strong Bad]

[rackemrack]

Woo hoo, yes that fixed it!  Thanks so much.  I was chomping at the bit to continue this mod.

Thanks again!

[rackemrack]

Ok, getting another crash towards what I assume is the end of the campaign.  When playing in normal mode (not debug), it crashes as soon as the Merdalion(sp) armada is jumping in, after Nibelheim installation is destroyed.  Here is the log file.  This campaign has been absolutely amazing, by the way.  Can't wait to see how it ends.
