Game No Longer Loads With Community Mod

[thehrmmoose]

After the most recent patch on Feb 6 2024, the game no longer loads when using the community mod. It crashes to desktop upon loading the game.

I confirm that the game doesn't start after the Feb 6 patch with the community mod any more ...

Here is the crash log. Seems it's having issues accessing some invalid addresses Player.log

My crash log is much the same as yours, though the addresses differ (I am running a debug build I did in mid-January from main). The offsets of the addresses are the same though. Unfortunately I don't know what exactly is tripping it up now.

I hear that an older versions of the mod (which? I don't know) work but has other issues (c and 5 shortcuts cause it to crash).

Same here ..

same here, too

I believe that I tracked the issue to:

This is part of a third party library the mod uses:

However, I'm struggling right now to see if there's a specific update to match Unity 2021.3.23 that someone kindly mentioned Scopely seem to have updated the game to.

For now, the only solution I have until a fix is found is to rename the mod to .old and use the game without it.

what was just posted by Eco may be relevant:

6:27 AM]Eco: @everyone Commanders,

In this update, the team has upgraded the game's engine to Unity 2021 to better support the game and help with performance issues.

As a result, there will be a bigger download after the update (during the black screen of around 100MB-300MB) where the game assets will be refreshed.

In addition, on Android, the minimum OS required is 5.1 (API 22), and on iOS it is 12+. Please check that your device supports the above (almost all current ones should).

LLAP 🖖

Yes, that was. I clocked that they confirmed the Unity engine update. That really should have been announced by them before hand ... but would have had no way to test it anyway as I'm not in their NDA program etc.

Hopefully a solution can be found. I find the game almost unusable on the PC without the mod.

rolling back to v4.3 will allow you to load the game, but still has random issues where it will crash here and there

For me I'm crashing every time I attempt to chat. Particularly when I hit certain bound keys like C

Yeah, it seems to be chat related for me as well, but it's weird. it seems to be happening when 'R' or 'F' keys are pressed, but only when my main view is in system or galaxy view.

I'm still fiddling around, but either way, it's lame. Hopefully someone a lot smarter than I am can figure out a fix quickly

Please test, which should fix the issue https://github.com/tashcan/bob/releases/tag/v0.5.4-u2021-t1

Loaded fine. So far so good. No crashes as previously encountered with chat. Will update if I come across any issues.

Closing as things seem to be working.
