Game crashes when exiting from networked menus on Windows10

[titiger]

I have got reports that the game crashes on exit in windows 10. On windows7 64bit I cannot see this behaviour.

Sounds pretty serious but without any additional info like "how to reproduce"/"crash message"/"verbose output" most issues like this (in other/every issue trackers) are usually closed (very fast) with note "not enough info".

Filux, I have Windows 10 - I'll get you some additional info by the end of the day.

1. I ran Megaglest, and then at the main menu, I exited. No crash.
2. I ran MegaGlest, and proceeded to the Internet menu. I waited for IRC to connect.
3. I backed out: return -> return -> exit

4 MegaGlest closed, but I received a few Windows dialog boxes. I can't copy and paste them, the first one says "MegaGlest has encountered and error... windows is checking for a solution to the problem"

Then that dialog box changes and flashes related information very briefly, and finally one box remains "megaglestx64.exe has stopped working - A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." I click the close button on the Windows dialog box and my terminal prompt is clear. No need to use ctrl-c.

I ran mg with the verbose option. Here is a plain text file with the output. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-Ixr8t8mjDsOVBvUEN2RXJiTVk/view?usp=sharing

On or around December 29, 2015, I tested a Win 10 x64 development snapshot with titi. I'm sure I would have noticed this crash; which means the bug was introduced at some point within the last 30 days.

After five times of going to the lobby and then exiting (without playing or joining a server) the bug reproduces every time.

Imo looks like problem is at least similar to #103 .+ on the beginning I see info about "not used MG's registry fix". Did you use installer?

[andy5995]

Yes, today when I tested, I used the 3.12.0 installer.

I didn't use the dev installer when I tested with titi last month.

Maybe something was left behind from running the game from the snapshot last month?

The same crash happened on my nephew's computer when I ran the installer snapshot two days before the release of 3.12.0. He previously had installed 3.11.1 for Windows x64, which I removed (using the control panel -> add/remove programs) before installing the dev snapshot.

I am able to reproduce this reliably this on Windows 10 x64 using the 3.12.0 installer-created 64-bit game. The steps to reproduce this are indeed very similar to those discussed in #103, and exactly as discussed above by Andy:

• Start game in GUI mode
• Advance to main menu
• Navigate to New Game -> Internet Game
• Press Alt-F4 at any time
• Windows crash reporter triggers

(Potentially related note: the network throttling fix is not yet active at the time since I have not rebooted, yet.)

at least seems to be related, "nig":

MG64 3.12 on Win 7 64...

go to the MG-Gameserver-Lobby, press windows key, Close MG by using the return and exit buttons,

MG crashes after closing its screens.

3.12-dev is affected with this issues too.

[andy5995]

While testing rev 5444.ad4314f I noted that this error also happens when using the custom game option.

It first happened 2 weeks ago on 3.12 stable (on my mom's laptop, installing MG for the first time).

I just now reproduced it.

softcoder, the verbose output is attached.

My nephew told me that this is a common feature to games on Windows 10. He said it happens on a lot of games.

[filux]

During yesterday's tests Issh & Jammy couldn't reproduce this on dev version (probably on snapshot in both cases) ... so looks like probably it was fixed btw fixing the other bug.

[IsshMG]

I have this issue in version 3.12 when I exit the game. This is for all games, not just network games.

This issue is now solved in the dev version.

[titiger]

Looks like this is fixed now
