Sorry for the "wait(-5)" ... it was just something I also tried inside the complete game code to asure that everything is created. Actually I set proc_late for the load_new_room function and use wait(1) or wait(2).

I also believe that the error is somewhere inside the code, but I'm just confused that changing the order of the models inside WED removes the crash.

I'm just hoping to get some fresh ideas where to look by brainstorming with you (by the way ... thanks to all of you for discussing this issue with me).

Maybe I should also check the entities in the "engine_gettaskinfo"-list ... maybe one of the functions get an invalid entity pointer? The question is why should that happen just in the case the rooms are loaded in this order.

By the way ... I'd love to share more of the code with you, but it's really a lot of code. Far too much to post it. And the whole project is about 1 GB.

Maybe the crash just from save game !!!

I wish I could help you more, but I'm out of ideas right now. I'll try to think more of this, maybe I'll come up with something. I hope things will get solved soon.

Edit: it might have to do something with 'proc_mode' maybe, just a guess. Maybe some of those functions which aren't terminated on level change using it?

Best regards.

I searched our bug tracking system and found a bug report some years ago from one of our beta testers.

He reported an engine crash and the attached log file looks quite the same as the one I currently get.

The only difference: The first room was another one (but the one that was loaded and where the crash occured was the same).

Good: So I guess I don't need to search in the first level.

Bad: If it's in the game code, why is it always the same level where this sporadic crash occurs ???

Hmmm ... strange.

I think my next step is to place both characters in the rooms where the game crashes in my savegame and check if I could reproduce the crash right after starting the game. Usually who have to play the game about 45 - 60 minutes to reach those rooms. So there happened already a lot of stuff at the point of my savegame.

Can you load this room without game_save and , how you save your level ?
Can you test by load your level with just game_save and without level_load function ?

you can view memory usage in windows tadk manager-memory ..

have you checked your nexus reserve ?

thats all i can think of given what everyone has thought of already .

good luck

I don't use "game_save". I've written an own function that fills a struct with all needed data and then write it into a file (and vice versa when loading the savegame).

I finally found the time to place the characters into the rooms that lead into the crash right at the start of the game.

Result: the crash still occurs

So at least I can say that it's no issue with the savegame, neither it's something in the characters' inventories nor something that happened during playtime.

I hope to find some more time on the weekend to dive deeper into the code.

I wish you to find and fix everything that causes this crash as soon as possible! Unfortunately there is nothing I could help with. Keep it up man!

Best regards!

The bad thing is that I can even add a freely chosen model to the room and the crash is gone ... so how do I know when I have really fixed the issue ???
