This is with 6.31.3

The engine crashes when trying to close online highscore panel.

EDIT> So far as I have tested, the bug occurs after viewing the online highscores and resetting freeze_mode = 0; . This does not happen when leaving freeze mode for any of the other panels, and did not happen in 6.22.

Here's the acklog:

The acklog suggests that that this is the same crash that you've reported in the other thread. So, this crash seems not related to the engine version. Do you load any external plugins in your game? If so, please temporarily remove them and test again. Otherwise I'd like to look into it. Can you send the project, or a download URL, to support1@3dgamestudio.com?

I don't know how you get that from the acklog, they seemed like two unrelated crashes to me.

Anyway, this time it certainly has something to do with Bad Yams' HSHOF plugin. It worked perfectly before the update. The crash I had before happened without ever calling the plugin and has disappeared with the update.

I've e-mailed Bad Yams about this too. Hopefully you can work out what has changed.

You can download the latest version of my project from here if it helps:

Let me know if there is anything else you need.

I'll download and check it. If the crash happens in a plugin, it would be good if I had the source for that plugin, too.

My highscore system uses Cellulars gshttp plugin to connect to the site. Other then that its just the cscript you have and the php on my server(which isn't very likly the cause).

I downloaded the demo from the link above and didn't have a crash closing the panel after viewing scores.

I also updated to 6.31.4 (from download page) and using the example I sent you before I don;t have any problems sending or viewing scores at your account. It uses gshttpc which is the same as your game.

You say it happens when you set freeze_mode = 0 ?
I'll try some more tommorrow afternoon to reproduce it.
But all I can say tonight is its working fine here.

EDIT*
keep in mind I only have the commercial version

Um, you're right, I just checked. It doesn't happen in the published version, but it does happen in the development version. This is strange. Anyway, there certainly is something wrong there, but at least it works when published.

The problem appears to be related not to the plugin, but to a physics error. We'll examine this closer and will report back.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I have to take this back - despite a warning by our debug tools, there was nothing wrong with physics in your level. It doesn't crash here on exit either - I've tried it on several systems.

This means that either it's related to your PC - maybe a faulty memory chip - or it's a random crash. In the second case it could be the plugin, or it could be something else - hard to tell without having the source code for the plugin. I suggest that you send your level to some beta testers, or publish a demo here in the showcase forum. Maybe we'll learn more if we get feedback from more people with more PCs.
