Crash: Setting MeteorImpactInDays too high causes server to crash during launch #25171

Open Emperor-Q opened 1 week ago

Emperor-Q commented 1 week ago

Bug: Setting the Meteor Impact In Days while playing the game from the settings panel as an admin to some high value will lower the value to 10^10. However a 32bit integer is apparently used to load this value while the server launches, which is unable to store this value. This causes the server to crash when attempting to load after setting the value and gives the following error message:

Failed to start the server. Exception was Exception: OverflowException Message:Value was either too large or too small for an Int32. Source:System.Private.CoreLib

No crash occurs after setting the value while in the server.

That is not a bug, the server is intended to crash when invalid values in configs are entered. I have noted it as a improvement suggestion internally instead.

The bug is that if I try to set the value to, say, 10^12, it will reduce the value to 10^10, crashing the server next time it is launched. Note this only applies when trying to set the value in game, it doesn't apply to edits made within the editor.

I'm not sure I can follow - what editor do you mean? You reported that there is a crash if a invalid setting is set, that is working as intended, but now you seem to mean something else?

The in game world settings menu. I was mistaken earlier, there is a character limit of 11 with a max value of 10^10. This allows you to make an invalid setting in game. If you try to type 99,999,999,999 the game will set it to 10,000,000,000. image

Aha, that makes much more sense!

So basically the issue is that the ingame menu accepts a value that is invalid, leading to a crash on reboot as the invalid value has been saved to the configs. I could have sworn on the first time I read the task description it didn't note the ingame menu, but that might have been on Steam.

Yes, that's the issue.

Possibly, I realised about posting here after I made the steam post, though I figured I'd keep that one up in case it wasn't fixed for a while and someone else had the issue.
