terminating with uncaught exception of type std::bad_cast: std::bad_cast

[BlindGalaxy4817]

I'm trying to run a Satisfactory dedicated server on ARM64 (4 cores 24gb of RAM). I'm using box64 and box86 to boot the server. Whenever I do, it crashes with this error message: " terminating with uncaught exception of type std::bad_cast: std::bad_cast". I was told to put this here, sorry if it's in the wrong spot.

That's fine, you are in the right place (I asked you to create the ticket here :) )

How did you install that Satisfactory server? using steamcmd or something else?

[BlindGalaxy4817]

I installed it with steamcmd running on box86, then ran it using box64. I'm on ubuntu. Full error is:

terminating with uncaught exception of type std::bad_cast: std::bad_cast Signal 6 caught. Malloc Size=65538 LargeMemoryPoolOffset=65554 CommonUnixCrashHandler: Signal=6 Segmentation fault (core dumped)

FWIW, I'm running into the same issue

I'm trying to pull the same stunt, and I'm dealing with the same error.

For reproduction:

• Create a free server on Oracle Cloud (4 Ampere aarch64 cores + 24GB, Ubuntu Canonical)
• Install box64 and box86 using the custom repos
• Move the Satisfactory Dedicated Server to the server (I couldn't get SteamCMD to run, but it's not required)
• Run (I use BOX86_NOBANNER=1 ./FactoryServer.sh just in case)

My output looks very similar to the second hastebin posted by Quinten above. I believe the actual error occurs on logline 521.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help and thank you for your hard work!

Same error, following this guide to setup an environment: https://github.com/Raezroth/Linux-ARM-Gaming-Chroot/blob/master/README.md . Then installed SteamCMD, downloaded the game and started in the chroot env. Crashing with

Any updates on this? I basically want to do the same.

[ptitSeb]

Is it still happening?

[QuintenQVD0]

Is it still happening?

yes it is

[ptitSeb]

Mmmm, ok. I'll install Satisfactory on my arm test machine and will give a it try

[QuintenQVD0]

note for my that is I am trying to run the server not the game itself

[ptitSeb]

Yeah ok. There is a separate download on steam for the Dedicated server, so I'll use this

[ptitSeb]

So, I did try and indeed I get Segfault. After some analysis, t's a cycling lib dependancly: A use B, and B use A. Not sure how I will handle that.

[parzival-space]

How did you identify this? Just out of curiosity. I am not a C expert

[ptitSeb]

That's not the whole story. (I found at using gdb, it was obvious there). Once I workaround this recursive lib stuff, I actually get the std::bad_cast: std::bad_cast message. So, I need to check what's wrong there too.

[NickGildenstern]

Any updates ?

[ptitSeb]

I did some debugging, but didn't found anything conclusive. I'm still unsurre why it happens, I need to speed more time on this.

[NickGildenstern]

Is there any possible way how we could help ?

[ptitSeb]

Not sure. The exception occurs during the initialisation of lib. I really haven't found enough detail yet. I suspect it's an issue with the elfloader / librarian, with somehow an issue with a wrong symbol being used. But I really need to put more time in this to really get the symbol being executed that launch the exception. It's a dynamic value, not a static one, so I need to analyse (unless someone with debugging knowledge and good understanding of the ELF structure and runtime linking want to take over)

[NickGildenstern]

No updates right ?

[rajdakin]

No update, maybe it works now, but Satisfactory (the full game) doesn't work (can't reach the menu, it crashes while loading).
