Cant do single-player in r22726
« on: February 17, 2009, 11:56:54 pm »
Downloaded r22726, tried to enter the single-player screen, and the game crashes. No error message or anything. I uninstalled UFO:AI and reinstalled, but got the same thing.

Windows XP Home, SP3, just to remove that question further down the line

r22726 crashes on me as well. No suspicious lines in the console log. Since I didn't temper with the code and used only the scripts provided with source code I don't really see why it crashes. As the r22752 crashes as well I must assume that there IS something wrong with my installer. Or with the generated code. I will try a full rebuild and see if that helps.

As geever indicated, it's most likely a packaging problem.

Hmm... Possible. I'll try deleting my working copy and check it out again. I have no clue what could be wrong as I haven't touched any of the build scripts...

In the meantime: if it is a packaging problem then should it also crash when started from Codeblocks?

yes, if you're the packager. The package itself isn't the problem, you must have done something wrong (considering it works for me), which is why it crashes for people who use your installer too. Starting with a fresh checkout seems like a good idea. If that doesn't help, we'll have to think of something else.

I recompiled it from scratch but it still crashes whenever I use optimization third (-O2) or higher level optimization. However it doesn't crash when selecting the Single Player menu using a build with second (-O1) or lower level optimization.

Even though Im not a mod, I say we lock this until resolved as it is being discussed in two threads

you can even add debug symbols into a build with optimizations turned on. so why not generate a backtrace for that crash and post it here?

I'll try that as soon as I get home. Thanks for the tip.

EDIT:
Meanwhile I noticed that somehow I accidentally changed the build target to windows from windows_debug (thanks to Destructavator). After restoring it to debug, it stopped crashing. However I still don't understand why it causes a problem.

I further investigated the problem and found some interesting thing. I have written about it in greater detail in this thread.

yes, its maybe the same problem. And it should be fixed with last revisions.
