GZDoom crashes when playing Cheogsh 2

[Barry]

I had seen that when I play the wad "Cheogsh 2" (when GOING\WARPING to level 3, 4 and 6 in the wad) the game crashes. It gives me that "Send error report" "Don't send" massage. I was playing it on GZDoom version 1.3.17 and 1.4.3 and it looked liked it then crashes, but when you play it with GZDoom version 1.2.01 and with Skulltag 98a, it works. I don't want to play it with those versions, I want to play it with the latest version of GZDoom. It would also seem that level 5 of the wad also has problems, but the level starts, but it did also gave me an error message on the beginning. Cheogsh 2 can be downloaded from this site: http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/?id=15933

These maps do not crash for me.

[Barry]

Are you sure you are using the newer GZDooms? It works with an older version, but not with these newer versions. If nobody has this
problem, then it is probably my computer's fault.

[Gez]

I'm using a version newer than the newest. Latest SVN plus some personal tweak and some fixes not ported over from ZDoom yet. :p

[Barry]

Could you please tell me where to get this version (if I may download it) so
that I can see if it works on my computer. You should also try using
GZDoom 1.4.3 for example, and see if your computer gives the same
message as mine when going to these maps (if you haven't used this
version already).

[Deathlike2]

I've tried using the official GZDoom 1.4.3 version and I'm not reproducing the bug either... I've downloaded the version of the map used in that link.

Chances are, the issue is limited to you and whatever extra added stuff that is loaded for you... you didn't even bother to post a GZDoom crash log!

[Barry]

I don't know what is a crash log, but all I know is that there was a message
that came up said GZDoom has encountered a problem. I don't know any-
thing that is going on here! It looks like a type of bug and I am posting it,
and if you people won't do the effort to find out what is going on, then you
can close this thread and I will just have to play the wad with GZDoom
version 1.2.01!

[Deathlike2]

The issue that you are not understanding is that in the attempt to reproduce it, we don't experience said problem.

That is why the issue is currently limited to your GZDoom setup.

[Gez]

Try r737 (not r738, there's a severe bug with the rockets that was introduced there by mistake) from the DRD team SVN site.
http://svn.drdteam.org/gzdoom/

Anyway, we've done the effort of trying to find what's going on. We've tested the mod that you say crash, and found out it didn't crash. You, on the other hand, you did not try any of the standard measures that need to be taken when reporting a bug.

1. Create a file called autoexec.cfg in your GZDoom directory. In it, put this line:
logfile log.txt

Make sure it's called autoexec.cfg and not autoexec.cfg.txt or something dumb like that. By default, Windows hides file extension, which is stupid. See this for more info.

2. When you get the crash window, it'll give you a "save report to disk" button.

Click on "save report to disk". It'll give you a .zip file.

3. Attach that .zip file to a post, or if it's too big to be attached here, go to http://files.drdteam.org/, register if you haven't already, and upload it there, then copy/paste the link.

4. Now look for a "log.txt" file in your GZDoom folder, and copy/paste its content between spoiler tags:

Code: Select all

[spoiler]your log here[/spoiler]

[Deathlike2]

This might sound stupid, but are you running the latest video drivers?

GZDoom has a minimum NVidia driver requirement. It's not enforced by GZDoom, but it's to avoid NVidia driver bugs that may be causing these problems.

I'm running the current latest svn version (the rocket launcher error one), and I also tried a older
version, I normally try to build release versions only, I thought I'd try to build a debug version, but
I get errors:

Code: Select all

 Results      Build log was saved at "file://e:\downloads\gzdoomsvn\Debug\BuildLog.htm"
zdoom - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
  

Also, the assembler (nasm, latest version), seems to have a problem assembling some of the
asm files, so for now at least, I can't build a debug version. But I can verify that the Cheogsh 2
wad seems to have problems with the current svn version of gzdoom, I can load the wad in:

gzdoomsvn.exe -file cheogsh2.pk3

The main screen comes up where you read credits etc, I go to the main menu, select 'new game',
and the a difficulty level (doen't matter what level of difficulty), gzdoom sits there for a few
seconds and drops back to the desktop with no errors given (the 'gzdoom has had a fatal error')
window never comes up, nor do I get a 'This program has encountered a problem, please send
a report to microsoft' window either, there is no log in the directory. So since I can't build
a debug version to try and trace the problem, I'm guessing the issue is during loading/initialization
(duh!) part of the gzdoom code. If someone can tell me what's going on with the debug build
problem, I'd be glad to try and trace the problem down...

[Enjay]

Can't say it's happening for me. I've been in to and out of the game a number of times, warped around the levels and played a few of them too. No problems.

[jbailey8]

I've tried various compatibility option settings, and other settings also, (even hung my computer, had
to hit the reset button on the system case). This particular pk3 file just won't run, (but it will load
at least)...

[Barry]

Aright, it seems like I got it fixed. I looks like when I play the wad with the original GZDoom version 1.4.3 that is provided for you, makes the error, but if I make a shortcut of GZDoom, it then works! I really don't know why it is like that, but as long as I can play the wad, I am happy. By the way, I don't think you know exactly which message I was talking about, I was talking about some other message. It makes GZDoom stand still, so I am not able to show you a screenshot, except if you tell me how to make a screenshot while not in GZDoom, I might then be able to show you how that message looks.

I finally got gzdoom to produce a startup logfile for cheogsh2:

MAP01 - Installation

I don't see any errors, but hopefully, someone can spot something, this is the only pk3 that won't load,
everything else runs fine. This is with the current svn version (740 I think)....
