Title: Game crash at illegal targeting
Post by: feldmaus on August 06, 2009, 08:13:40 am: Hi All,

was there a Bug report system ?

However my Game crashed, my System is Debian Lenny 32bit, kernel 2.6.30, Nvidia 8600GT, fs2_open_3_6_10d, Yal 0.1.3. I made 2 log files:
http://pastebin.com/m29e2f955 (http://pastebin.com/m29e2f955) and http://pastebin.com/m5d145fdf (http://pastebin.com/m5d145fdf).

I played a single player mission named "A Monster in the Mist" the filename is SM2-08.FS2. I am not sure but i believe the crash occurs when the opponents shooting at me but there is an obstacle between us, however my ship will be destroyed, although he couldn't destroy me.

I hope that help the Developers to improve this game. :-)

regards Markus

Try to fly near the Sathana, so that the guns of the sathana can not hit you, because there is an obstacle between you and the gun. My distance was sometimes under 150. I bumped many times with the hull of the Sathana but with caution.

Post by: Wanderer on August 07, 2009, 06:12:23 am: Well.. i did try it.. And i was unable to reproduce the issue (though using slightly newer build).

Also i fail to understand how it could ever hit that int3(). There are safeguards to prevent the variable in case statement from being too low or too high.

The error not occurs evey time i think. Is there a possibility to save a video stream ingame or the coordinates of my vessel ?

Post by: Wanderer on August 12, 2009, 01:06:50 am: I doubt that would help as if the reported line is correct then the problem occurs in the Monster in the Mist mission on the couple of Mara fighters trying to find the stealthed player ship. Player ships position does not matter in the crash (of course if the player is detected then it matters...)
