Topic: Game crashing

Hi,

after two days of playing 0.5.0, it crashed two times. The image is freezing, sound repeats itself, and after a few seconds, I get the Vista message that teeworlds.exe isn't working any more. I haven't been able to reproduce it. It happens "randomly".
I know that it is very hard to find such a bug. Adding a crash dump would be helpful, so you could check exactly where the program crashes.

0.4.3 never crashed.

Re: Game crashing

OK, it happened again, and this time I attached the Visual Studio Debugger to it.
Now, the exception is:

Unhandled exception at 0x00439ef1 in teeworlds.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000000.

So, apparently, the game tries to dereference a null pointer.
I hope this helps.

In "Support", it reads:

1. Search the FAQ
2. Go through the Documentation
3. Ask in the Forum

Re: Game crashing

Do NOT send e-mails to developers. All bug reports are to be made in the support forum, unless it has already been posted elsewhere.

That goes for you too, Cookie. We do not offer e-mail support.

Of course I did. I'm not as stupid as you think I am.
I am a game developer myself and all I want to do is help the developers fix the bug. If you have nothing to contribute, please keep out of threads like this.

Re: Game crashing

TomasRiker: Are you able to build the debug version (client_debug and server_debug) and run and attach Visual Studio Debugger to those instead? Will tell us more specificly what's wrong.

Re: Game crashing

I will try to do so and report back when I found the exact line of code.
Maybe I can even fix it myself wink
