= game crash=
build: any builds, e.g. 4163
date: 18.06.2022, 30.06.2022
maps: MH-DarkWhite.unr
description: from start of the game UnrealTournament.exe crash each 60 or 90 seconds. Many players occur same problem. Even at very end (14 monsters left) game crashed each 60 seconds. I have UTv469b version.
bug/glitch relevance (low/middle/ high): very high
suggestion: maybe new Unreal Tournament v469c will solve a problem ?

I cannot reproduce his error. If it happens next time (here or at another map): the last few lines of the log file UnrealTournament.log in the SYSTEM folder may be helpful to determinate the error.

I experienced the multiple crashes today with client 469c RC4 connected to server; with 436 I noticed no crashes.
Playing locally with client 469c RC4 caused also a crash.

The last lines of client's log file are not really helpful, and the file is cut off at a random position.
Neither server's log file does not contain anything concerning this.

Maybe the crashes are caused by a lot of custom stuff?

I removed this code

Code: Select all

function eAttitude AttitudeToCreature(Pawn Other) {
	if ( Other.IsA('ScriptedPawn') )
		return ATTITUDE_Friendly;
} 
from all custom ScriptedPawns, recompiled remaining code, but got a crash nevertheless.

(attached pic - titans were killed by other players already. At the time of crash they were alive)
 
 
Later this day I played map for the second time and got a 8x crash as a player and last 2x crash as a spectator.

LOG´s file = garbage.

Tests done locally without server:
I changed to OpenGLDrv and got crashes nevertheless. I tried without pawns ("killpawns") and got a crash (but later, in the final room).

Looks like "Cluster 3D" audio driver is crashing when playing Music 'Complian_b.umx'. See also bug report on Github.

Solutions for UT v469:
  • Don't use "Cluster 3D" audio yet.
  • I'll patch out that music from maps that run on BarbiesWorld UT server:

    Code: Select all

    MH-(dU)LostParadiseV5.unr
    MH-DarkWhite.unr
    MH-HTD-LiandriCorp-Part2.unr
    MH-LastVoyage-Alpha4.unr
    MH-LongCorridor2006.unr
    MH-ProxyMoon_V2.unr
    MH-Shivnath2020.unr
    MH-XmasAdventure.unr

I admitted, after patching *.umx file, you can use CLUSTER audio driver, too.
After selecting CLUSTER audio I played whole map and no crash at all.
