Crash at start with new Playtest

[NetBLOKS]

Hi,

just installed the new playtest. The game loads, a short sound is played and then the game crashes shortly before the main menu. Tried reinstalling, clearing AppDAta folder etc.

graphics.log is empty.

debug.log:

conquer.mix: failed to resolve filenames for 1 unknown hashes ecache01.mix: failed to resolve filenames for 1 unknown hashes

exception.log:

Really love the game and cannot play now :-(

Screenshot shortly before crash

After looking at the screenshot, I can see the irony in the message at the bottom right :-D

Hi, I think I need more message in "exception.log", I find the graphic card and OpenGL messages are missing here.

It should be a graphic problem, from the message of

Exception of type System.IO.InvalidDataException: Non-power-of-two array 1025x1024
at OpenRA.Platforms.Default.Texture.SetData(Byte[] colors, Int32 width, Int32 height)

at OpenRA.Platforms.Default.ThreadedGraphicsContext.Message.Execute()

One of the guessing is your graphic card is no longer support OpenRA's developing version (our engine based on that, for bug fix), would you mind to send me your graphic card message and:

1. tell me if OpenRA's release version work out for you? https://www.openra.net/download/ (This is a basic comfirm that your PC has no problem on old OpenRA)
2. if you can compile .Net project, try compile https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/ and run the game, select TS in game mod. That will be in great help for our trouble shooting, because it is the OpenRA's developing version.

Hi,

thanks a lot for the fast reply. That was my full exception log.

OpenRA works, I´ve also tested the new Romanovs Vengance. It´s just shattered paradise for me and just on this PC.

But I found the solution while writing: I´ve got a zoom leven on the Windows desktop of 250% (4K Monitor/ TV Screen) Every zoom level below 250% and the game starts without problem. Every Zoomlevel 250% or above an the game crashes. The old SP and every other mod ran on 250% without problem, so it seems like a bug or limitation in the new engine.

[NetBLOKS]

So, I fouund the culprit: It´s th UI size. On 200% the game starts and works normally. But as soon, as I increase the UI size to 125%, it crashes. On 100% everything works fine with 200% Windows zoom. Here is the full exception log:

Hi, thanks for your information and

 at OpenRA.Graphics.ChromeProvider.SheetForCollection(Collection c)
   at OpenRA.Graphics.ChromeProvider.TryGetImage(String collectionName, String imageName)
   at OpenRA.Mods.Common.Widgets.WidgetUtils.<>c__DisplayClass1_0.<GetCachedStatefulImage>b__0(ValueTuple`5 args)
   at OpenRA.Mods.Common.Widgets.CachedTransform`2.Update(T input)
   at OpenRA.Mods.Common.Widgets.DropDownButtonWidget.Draw()
   at OpenRA.Widgets.Widget.DrawOuter()

is the key to the problem.

The crash happens because the height and width of "glyphs-3x.png" is 1025x1024, which contains UI buttons images.

[dnqbob]

I have made a patch for you: Patch-FixUICrash-SP playtest20240315.zip

Could you please patch this to your SP and see if the crash is fixed?

[dnqbob]

P.S. there is another bug that the Nod's blue fire is glitched, we should have a patch on Discord but in case you didn't find that, I will also put it here: Patch-FixBlueFire-SP playtest20240315.zip

[NetBLOKS]

Wow, what a service! Thanks a lot, I´ve checked 250%, 300% Windows Scale and SP UI Scale in all variations: Works like a charm! I also installed the blue flame patch. I´ve seen the strange flames but thought it was a new feature :-) Which channel is for patches etc. in Discord?

One more thing: Is there a donation link or something like that for you guys? I could also help, translate the game to german if there is need for something like that.

[dnqbob]

Our Discord is https://discord.gg/hk428Wk.

I also installed the blue flame patch. I´ve seen the strange flames but thought it was a new feature :-)

There is a very rare bug in compressing function of Git, which makes the flame file not what it was in my repo, and then the online repo. Strangely, the file comparer of git think those two files are indentical.

I did a test in my workspace when the players reported this bug:

Then I found this problem when I tried to delete the file and recover it from Git.

Is there a donation link or something like that for you guys?

Idk, maybe you can ask other devs to see if there is any plan about that.

I could also help, translate the game to german if there is need for something like that

We need to wait some issues (or maybe more issues in the future) mentioned in https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/issues/21264 solved

Otherwise, the localization will be very hard to maintain and becomes a standalone version and player cannot join mutiplayer by using that.

[dnqbob]

Oh, and our mission&minigame really need some testers but our players in Discord are busy with PvP gameplay. You can help us with that :)

[NetBLOKS]

OK, I will have a look at the missions. Already played through the training mission without issues, but will dive a bit deeper and check out the other missions and the minigame :)
