Terminal crash during WebBrogue game #57

Closed Oraticus closed 7 years ago

Oraticus commented 7 years ago

Had a crash dump me out to the lobby on the US server of WebBrogue. Normally this isn't an issue, as my game can be restarted, but the game was completely dropped from the servers and could not seemingly be recovered.

Gameplay before crash: Used Entrancement staff on a summoned Ogre, then guided him to bash on the explosive Ogre Shaman that had spawned him. First hit landed fine and did ~45% damage to the Shaman. Second attack caused the freeze and dump out to the lobby.

Hypothesis: I'm assume the second hit was successful, killed the Shaman, and caused it to explode, igniting and damaging several nearby mobs. Possibly too much happening in one move?

Hi Oraticus. Those kind of crashes are crashes in the brogue executable. The server simply runs brogue and exports the screen via the web interface. Therefore we generally can't/don't fix brogue crashes unfortunately!

In these cases the server admin can sometimes recover the game but (in my experience) only it has crashed it will crash again even after restore!

Thanks, flend... I thought that may be the case since I know the core game code does have these issues present. Just based on what happened before the crash, it seemed like it might the game itself, but thought I'd open a ticket.

Thanks for looking... I'll close this out.
