The Doom2 broke 100% chance.

[yu8349]

When I played Doom2, now I'm in the map 13, before that, the game sometimes will be broken when I load the save file. But now I'm in the map 13, the game is broken everytime I load. It make me crazy. I use the 1.3.1 edtion. I saw you release the 1.3.2 edtion. But when I replace the file with it, the game sometimes can't start(break), sometimes I could enter the game, but I can't use the old save file. How could I fix it?

[yu8349]

Edit: I got the log file. But I don't know how to find what is wrong. If you need it, I could send it.

[MadDeCoDeR]

Just reuploaded 1.3.2. Now the issue should be resolved

[yu8349]

Just reuploaded 1.3.2. Now the issue should be resolved

Still can't load the 1.3.1 savefile, but I saw your patch changed the savefile's length. So it might lead to this result. Later today, I will open a new game and try to see if it will crash when playing later levels. And the game can't open issue still exist. But now it's disappear. I reinstall the game and copy the file but I do not overwrite the cfg file at the first time. Then I open the game, it's ok, and when I overwrite the cfg file, it's also ok. My thought is overwrite the 1.3.1 edition with 1.3.2 edition will lead to some promblem. If you need me to test more about this, I could.

[yu8349]

The problem of game can't open still here, but I missed to open OBS, so the video I can't send you now. The problem is the game will crash after open, my solution is that overwrite all 1.3.2 file even it's all 1.3.2 file. Then the problem is gone. I didn't do anything but after a few hours, the problem arises. So I think tomorrow I could send you a video.

[MadDeCoDeR]

Hi, did it happened after you boot again the game?

[yu8349]

Hi, did it happened after you boot again the game?

It's late in my time. So I just could not give you a video. And your question just give me new ideas, so I just tried two situations.

1. Restart windows11, and change my windows lang to english, then open the game. The game could open normally.
2. Close the system then start the system.( I remember there is a difference between restarting and shutting down then starting), but I don't change the system lang (I use Chinese and a Chinese input software (not windows input). ), then the problem appear.

I have two conjectures.

1. It's clear that the BFA is not block input software, in 1.3.1 the game could open and then I change the system lang or just change the software to english mode. But in 1.3.2 it might lead to game crashed result.
2. It might because the game file has problem make some important game process couldn't load so I can't open the game and the reason why when I restart the system I could open the game, is restart windows11 is not shut down all process, before I restart I have opened the game normally, so the process is still there, then I could open the game. Due to the others is not raised the issue of game not starting. So I think the first have bigger chance. I saw you use much C++ in the BFA edition so it is easy to block the input software. Tomorrow I will try the others situation like start the system, and before I start the game, change my lang to english. And I will record my screen. Or when I get up, you might find the problem. LOL.

Edit these words use me almost twenty mins. Cry face.

And I was able to fix it according to yesterday's method, but today I was able to fix it the first time, but not the second time. I don't know why. Of course now I've fixed it again, but I don't understand at all why the game can run normally. I just After using 1.3.1 to start the game, I overwrote it with the 1.3.2 file, and then 1.3.2 can run.

By the way, I open the log file. It's all same except when the game crashed.

Hi, did it happened after you boot again the game?

the problem happened after I shut down and start the system.

[MadDeCoDeR]

So I made the main menu creation logging a little bit more verbose. You can try to built it on your own and check it's log files to make sure that all the menus are created. This is how it must look:

Creating Main Menu Initializing Press Start Initializing Root Menu Initializing Single Player Initializing Settings Menu Initializing Load Game Initializing New Game Initializing Advanced Options Initializing ASdvanced Graphics Options Initializing System Options Warning when retrieving Display Modes: Code 5: Access is denied.

The reason why I did that is because from the log you show, it seems that it crashes when creating one of the menus

[yu8349]

I should send you these two file. qconsole - 副本.log qconsole.log But I think it's useless. Because it's all same thing. If there is anything to analyse, it can only be something wrong in Loaded FFMPEG file: 'video/intro/introloop.bik',

[MadDeCoDeR]

Great news. I manage to fix the nightly builds and also I have disabled a useless piece of code that might have caused the issue. When you want download the latest nighlty build and check if it is any better.

[yu8349]

Oh, yeah. You completely fixed the issue of not booting, thank you and congratulations to you also to me, lol. I saw that you mix the DEV from CDL could make us choose the level, it's a good function. Later, I will start to play DOOM 2 again. If anything is ok, I will close this issue.

[yu8349]

I just triggered a crash, when I die, I load the game maybe too soon, so the game is crashed. I tried to recurrent this crash, but I failed, so I think it may not BFA promblem, it's DOOM2 with WIN 11 promblem. For now, the rest is okay. So I'm gonna close this issue. If the promblem appear again on the later level, I will open it.

[yu8349]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fTWQRLoxpY7UoB8Y5IfndE9UHQK9JGkC/view?usp=drive_link Here is the video, I use xbox game bar (PC) to record. So when the game crash, the video shuted up. something is wrong, it seems some problem is here, but I'm not sure it's BFA problem or the origin game(this problem could recurrent on my computer). so here is my save file. try load it see the problem could you get. When I read this file, there is a spider. When it hit you, put F3 to reload, then game will crash. Github doesn't support the file type, here is google drive url. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MLLIlsjmcFbd1eCGJmGpW0nVXsNxOQ3o/view?usp=drive_link

qconsole.log console, if it could help.

[yu8349]

I may know what's wrong. There is a problem with the last save location. (I think, so you should check about this?) here is another file. it almost same. but with no crash. https://drive.google.com/file/d/16vch9xks4i9Lu1qIwKEK5kMqrzUtmNRN/view?usp=drive_link

[yu8349]

Later I will try to open a new game but keep using the last save location, let's see the crash will appear or not.

[yu8349]

Ok, the sixth location started crashing in level four, I couldn't be sure if it will show up in level one to three because I'm so familiar with the levels, but I truly test many loading in level one to three, but didn't crash. Now I'll try only to use one location except the sixth. (Yesterday I use both to save I mean one level one location, so the level one to five in location one to five will not crash, so don't need to test this situation more.) By the way, It is obvious that use the save file which will lead to crash, then save it in other location, it's also will lead to crash. For example, the sixth location level six file will lead game to crash, then I load it, and in subsequent games, even I pass the level six, I save the game on other location, then when I load it, it also will lead to crash.

[MadDeCoDeR]

So the issue is with that specific save file?

[yu8349]

So the issue is with that specific save file?

yesterday file? yeah the first is video, second is problem file, third is good file. It's bad that I used the second location in level four also crashed just now.

[yu8349]

I just delete all file and start new game again. Level fou in location two crashed. I will test one more location to be sure the level problem or the level(game).

[yu8349]

I just test location 1 and 3, all crash in level four, oh it may help that I save in same location in level, then load.

[MadDeCoDeR]

The issue should be fixed now. Check the latest nightly build

[yu8349]

The issue should be fixed now. Check the latest nightly build

Really sorry, I saw this message 2 days later. I will try it later.

[MadDeCoDeR]

No worries, when you want and can test it and either close the issue or tell me to close it

[yu8349]

I just load the file(level four) and reload it. Glad it's not break the game now. It's a good start. I will play more tomorrow. My time is quite late. I think tomorrow I will past the level ten at least. And I will reload the file at least four times. I will reply when I finish.

[yu8349]

OK. I just pasted level ten, I promise we have no problem in one to ten. So I guess it's done. You fixed it 100%. So I will update my steam post to tell them who will use the BFA edtion to use [DOOM BFA Nigthly 2024-04-17-19-26], so one more question and you could close this issue when you answer. Is the Nightly release could run alone? I mean if I'm a newer for this, should I download the 1.3.2 then overwrite with the Nightly release or I just download the Nightly release. And I should download [windows-RC-debug-x64.zip] right?

Yes, nightly builds are standalone. The main release might have some additional tools (like a launcher and some modding tools) bundled in but you don't need them in order to just run DOOM BFA. The debug nightly builds as the name implies is for debugging purposes (in the case of end users (players) it is for better logging), even though it offers the elusive DEV menu it doesn't allow achievements to be unlocked. So if you want to unlock achievements better go for the retail ones instead (also the retail ones are taking less space)

[yu8349]

thank you for your explain. I have three doom 2 achievements need to be unlocked. I change to retail now, could I still use the debug save file to unlock achievements? Or I need a new one.

[MadDeCoDeR]

Yes, you can still use it and unlock the achievements
