Description

[HeXen] Crash during gameplay with addons at DK_Map08 (Constable gate)

1) Download next addons: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BygbyP4_qEiTb3hIUTRXME9DdVU/view?usp=sharing
2) Turn them on for Hexen (use default options for TXHD and turn on all 5 packages from veirdo's 2.0 pack). If TXHD is not displayed, please use this trick: https://tracker.dengine.net/issues/2225
3) Play Hexen DK till Map08 (Constable gate) like in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dwrPGDzqK8&index=1&list=PL5QwAqOy7WABpsDsuzSKwTk2S8QnzsLg5#t=4h47m55s (crash happened at 4:47:55)

Reproduced in 2.0.0.2278 x64 (Windows 7 x64 Ultimate)

CFG + Logs: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BygbyP4_qEiTeEF2OE1ud2gtVkk/view?usp=sharing

NOTE: I will investigate better steps to reproduce (for example without addons) and add them in comments if I find

I spent some time replicating that exact same situation where the crash occurred, but it didn't crash for me. I also kept playing through the rest of the hub without any issues.

It is possible that this is one of those "bad luck" situations where the map was left in a particular rare state that caused the crash when it was reloaded.

Let me know if this kind of a crash happens again, maybe we can pinpoint the circumstances better.

I reproduced the crash, even without packages: just wait while heresiarch will start his attack sequence and go to the portal to another level before he will throw any fireball. Then go to this map again (through portal), and doomsday will crash

If you still cannot reproduce and/or need video with reproducing or doomsday.out, please tell me

So, as I understand, this should be reproducible in any map with heresiarch, but DK_map08 is easiest because you can type locksmith cheat for keys and open portal to another level exact in the same room where heresiarch is located

Ah, that narrows it down considerably yes. It would be very helpful if you could save the game and give me a copy of the savegame files from the moment after you've gone through the portal, leaving Heresiarch in its bad state. That should allow me to easily replicate the crash. (Without addons.)

#6 Updated by theleo_ua over 7 years ago

Added 2 savegames (one before portal and second before crash)

Thank you! :) I'm now looking at the crash in the debugger, looks like Heresiarch forgot about its attack target during those portal jumps. Should be fixable...

I've applied a fix that avoids the crash at least for me. It will be available in the next 2.1 unstable build, and also stable 2.0.1. Thanks again for the help.
