going out and back in crashes or freezes the game #4

Closed argarak closed 2 years ago

if going out of the game, i.e. pressing the PS button or putting the console into sleep mode, often results in erratic behaviour especially during transitions.

going out and back in truespace freezes the game when you go into hyperspace
going out and back in almost always stops music from playing
going out and back in during melee crashes the game

not sure how to approach this one yet

after installing the plugin https://github.com/TheOfficialFloW/FdFix everything works as it should. need to instruct people to install this plugin if they want suspend/resume working as intended edit: there also exists another plugin that fixes this issue, so we should ask users to install either one, but not both, of the plugins, e.g. "make sure to EITHER have fdFix OR rePatch plugin installed". though if neither is installed, fdFix might be the better option as it's more lightweight

it probably won't matter in future, but it may be possible, in theory, to implement and accommodate for read and write errors and re-open files if necessary (for every case). from what i've seen of the code it does sound like a very significant effort with very little return
