A good map that keeps crashing: CTF-FNB-UnrealGateways

Post by Zeddy_Ryan »

Let's see if we can figure out why my game keeps crashing.

The map: CTF-FNB-UnrealGateways
UT version: 469a
The issue: Around one minute into a match, my game crashes straight to desktop.

I have repeated this dozens of times. Almost always, the UnrealTournament.log file looks like this:

Code: Select all

It always appears that the log file ends in mid-line, like the writing process is being interrupted by the crash. I don't know what to make of this? Any ideas?

EDIT: Some other details, which may or may not be relevant/helpful:

-Renderer: OpenGL
-No mutators/mods active
-Notice that I'm using the "-USERINI=" command line argument. However, this problem occurs even without using any command-line arguments.

Re: A good map that keeps crashing: CTF-FNB-UnrealGateways

I don't think there's any inherent problem with the map. I've just played it for five minutes or so with 469b without issues and I don't recall problems in the past. I did notice that sounds from the player are not as loud as normal. Have you tried it with an audio driver other than Cluster? Perhaps also try another renderer to see if it happens with that as well.

On the 469 Issues 'page' on GItHub, it's been reported that another FNB map (Spaceport - which also uses XPickups) crashes with 469a.

Do you have another UT version installed that you can try the map with?

As a matter of interest the only log entry I get after playing the map for a while is "ScriptWarning: XPickInternalMut CTF-FNB-Unreal Gateways.XPickInternalMut0 (Function XPickups.XPickupsMut.PostBeginPlay:1CD7) Accessed None 'newInv'".

I've got both versions of that map, Frag'n'Brag did an update to the original; hence the FNB.

Neither one has any crashing issues I've ever seen.

This log line is interesting - haven't seen anything like that before

Code: Select all

Log: Browse: Index.unr?entry?Name=Zeddy_Ryan?Class=Botpack.TMale2?team=255?skin=SoldierSkins.blkt?Face=SoldierSkins.Othello?Voice=BotPack.VoiceMaleTwo
Log: Failed; returning to Entry
The second log you posted indicates that you went to Game->Start Unreal Tournament, then went out of that into Game->Start Practice Session. I tried that and it had no impact on playing the map.

The only issue I did notice in the map is that there are 4 wildcard XPickups bases and I got the Invisibility from one of them but it didn't work straight away, not until I picked a rocket launcher from the same base - not that this would have anything to do with your crashes.

There's nothing in the log to indicate the reason for the crashes. If the crashes only happen for you when playing this map using 469a and not when you use another UT version then probably the best thing to do is to open an issue at GitHub.

Not relevant to the crashes but you may not have seen this - 469b will "Fix[ed] a bug that caused the game to parse commandline parameters incorrectly when the game was launched from a folder containing spaces".

I changed from Cluster to OpenAL, and this appears to have fixed the problem! Thanks.

I still wonder why this issue hasn't manifested in any of the other 200-300 maps I've played, but I'm happy it is fixed.

I did not know about this. I haven't had an issue with this yet, so I'll hope it stays that way until 469b is out.

That's good.

It's up to you of course, but it might be worthwhile reporting this on the 469 issues 'page' on GitHub as there have been a couple of bugs with Cluster/FMOD reported before and your issue may be a previously unreported bug.

I would report this rare issue to the team developers at github, its better nto to cause the prevention of the other drivers only cos tihs rare issue, not anyone could use opengl or d3d drivers depending O.S used

One thing UnrealGateways and Spaceport (the other FNB map for which crashes in 469 have been reported) have in common is that they both have a lot of reverb - possibly could be this but that's just speculation.

Even though I'm happy that the problem "fixed for me", I understand that not every player has the option to switch audio drivers. Therefore, I will make a report on github as soon as I can!
