24294 ctd when start any battle

[crazydog]

When trying to start any battle, I get the screenshot screen, then the game exits to desktop.

Aaand??? How should we find out the problem from that verbose description??


The "Doesn't work" is not a bug report.

Your ufoconsole log says nothing. In case of crashes (like segfaults) you should run the game from commandline and copy the end of the output from there (if a program get closed by the OS it won't write nice logs on exit) a better way would be to run from debugger and collect more info (backtrace).

Anyway, your problem is this if I'm right.

save game is needed or not necessary ?

[geever]

No, it's reproducible, thank you.

Just so you know, saved games are generally not compatible between game revisions - if a save works after updating the game consider yourself lucky, because usually they don't...

Destructavator,

Btw, i noticed the save game did not break so far since 23000+++ revision.... wow. Well done.
But under wat circumstances will save game break btw?

so this affects combat also?
I already had the problem that I couldn't load a savegame after an update; but I didn't expect getting in trouble later on when it DID load...

Actually, i am not too sure abt tat.
But previously, i did have issues with certain revisions where save games cannot load.

Then when it did load, it seemed to have some issues.
Thats why i restarted a new game (for like more than 20 30 times already). lol......

On a serious note, if we want to track a certain bug, we should verify it thru a new game, and probably be like me - keeping an old game and loading it to test.....

afterall, maps should not be affected by the game - since weapons and stats of soldiers are not changed....

Okie, as of R24322, here's some add on to his log:

1) Battlescape cannot be "RETRY" when u press the ESC key and clicking it - would result in game hang and u would need to force shutdown app.

2) Battlescape can crash halfway in battle.... not much time to provide a backtrace..... but will see if there's anyone who can do the backtrace b4 i do....

Otherwise, i have tested sniper rifle, rocket launcher (with AP rounds), assault rifle, laser rifle all works so far. They shoots enemies. I even managed to fire a rocket and kill an alien. Though 3 rounds into game, i am forced to ALT+CTRL+DEL (ACD) force shutdown app, as it crashed back to geoscape 1/2way into battle and hangs there..... (Console still there though.)

I did a clean compile of maps and codes in CB. Did a clean pk3 zipped up too...... (This is after Mattn's done with some of his bsp issues as of This Thread.
