ECWolf keeps on crashing like there's no tomorrow!
Title says it all. I can't save, I can't load, and sometimes I can't even start a new game!
When the port DO work it's awesome but these errors are breaking the fun most of the time.
I'm not using a stable build mind you, I'm playing with latest SVN as I also do with G/ZDoom.

Re: ECWolf keeps on crashing like there's no tomorrow!
There are a few people using the latest builds just fine so I can't say crashing all the time is normal here. So lets go over some potential causes:
- The mercurial builds are not shipped with the DLLs. You are using the ones provided with the stable build correct?
- Your Wolfenstein 3D data is up to date and not modified in any way correct? Check the hashes of the file against the wiki.
- Are you trying to load any mods? The latest development build is not compatible with 1.1.1 mods.
- Does the stable version work for you?

* First, I downloaded other DLL's from the web and I actually thought that was the case. So I took those from the stable build instead.Blzut3 wrote:There are a few people using the latest builds just fine so I can't say crashing all the time is normal here.

* I don't know actually, I'm using the Steam version.
* Nope, no mods. If the mission packs (NOT SOD) doesn't count as one.
* The stable version also crashes.

You should be fine then unless Bethesda silently decided to change something for the sake of changing something.Ghostbreed wrote:I don't know actually, I'm using the Steam version.
Still wouldn't hurt to see if SDL is causing problems for you. Get Wolf4SDL and grab the data files from your steam install. They'll be somewhere in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\. Likewise find your doom/doom2.wad and try running them with Eternity Engine. I'll probably need to write a crash catcher to figure out what's going on, but if either of those crash at least I'll know it's not my code.

Re: ECWolf keeps on crashing like there's no tomorrow!
Which W4SDL build should I use? The Activision or Apogee?

Wolf4SDL worked just fine. I could play, save and load without any problems.

Re: ECWolf keeps on crashing like there's no tomorrow!
Just so you don't think I forgot about this thread. Unless you want to try compiling ECWolf yourself I'll need to try to integrate a crash catcher to figure out what's going on. Since the issue happens for you in 1.1.1 and seems to be specific to your computer, I'll still be releasing ECWolf 1.2 later today, so hopefully I'll be able to get a debug build to you shortly thereafter.

Re: ECWolf keeps on crashing like there's no tomorrow!
I'm not that good with that kinda stuff, sorry
Perhaps 1.2'll work better. Or else I can just play with DOSBox. A shame really since ECW is so much easier to boot up.

I don't think it will solve your problem since you said 1.1.1 crashes as well, but give 1.2.1 a shot since I fixed a crash with saves.

You were right. Back to DOSBox then, sorry.

This build should be able to generate a crash log: http://svn.drdteam.org/ecwolf/ecwolf-130619-0754.7z
