Title: Operation Templar crash
Post by: CT27 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.

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:

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