Crashes when window goes out of focus. #167

Open Neidthart opened 9 years ago

Neidthart commented 9 years ago

The Mupen64 core, and only the Mupen64 core, crashes whenever I attempt to resize the window, minimize it, alt-tab, fullscreen, window, and pretty much even touch the game's window. In order to play, I must keep the game in a perpertual, start up fullscreen and avoid multitasking at all -- because, should I press F to window the emulation, it will crash. I have no idea what may be causing this, but I get a d3d error whenever I start up RetroArch. The Mupen64 emulator works and does not cause this problem, only the Libretro core.

This might be the only Librero GL core you're using.

I dunno why it crashes for you. A crash log and a backtrace is the minimum amount of information required in order to even be able to fix anything. Also, you didn't mention other pertinent information like your OS version, GPU, etc.

Yeah, sorry. That's basic, and I forgot to put it in. Must've been desperation.

Ah, nevermind. Seems like changing the video plugin from Glide64, to Angrylion and back to Glide64 fixed my issue. That's weird. Oh well. Sorry for bothering you.

May I request that this issue gets reopened? It certainly isn't fixed as of now.

Windows 7, AMD Radeon HD 7970. Creating a log is no use because no information pertinent to the crash appears in it, only showing up to the last command before the crash.

Is this actually still an issue? Using the latest core and RetroArch build, I get no crashes if I fullscreen, go back to windowed, and click on other windows. It all works with no issue. This is also on Windows 7, although using an Nvidia GTX 750.

ya i dunno, never had that crashing here either when I resized/switch the window

I always run RetroArch in windowed fullscreen with the OpenGL backend. I use the Windows button to pull up the taskbar and switch to another program. Whenever I switch to another program while it's running with this core and go back to it, RetroArch crashes. No other cores I use have this issue.

Is there a chance that this is another AMD-specific issue?

I was able to pinpoint the issue precisely. It's a weird one, too. Going out of focus alone didn't crash RetroArch. It was when I clicked my mouse cursor on a form box (address bar in a web browser, Google Search bar, etc.) that would cause it to crash upon re-entering it.

That's how it WAS, of course. I'm using the most recent nightly of the core, and I haven't run into any crashes from going out of focus for any reason.
