Game freezes at around 20 minutes in any save, no issues in log tho

[anthoam]

When the SEWorldGenPlugin is enabled in my save, after 20 minutes ingame whatever I am doing the game freezes and doesn't respond anymore. But I can still see particles effects and grass moving for example...

In this save, I'm using the "Khurakan System" which has files expected to be used with this plugin. This is the last thing in my log. Seems to be related to asteroid generation but I don't see any error here.

Will look into it. Where in the Khurakan were youw hen it freezed?

[anthoam]

Most of the time I was on planet called Celaeno, but the freeze happen anywhere in the system, on planets as well inside asteroid clusters created by the plugin.

[thorwin99]

Regarding the log, that is a session save, but that goes through and didnt freeze

[anthoam]

Yeah that's really weird, I can reproduce the freeze all the time but I don't know how I can provide you the best informations regarding this bug...

[thorwin99]

Is your RAM full when the freeze happens? I know Khurakan requires SEWorldgen for asteroids, but did you try to copy your world, disable the plugin in the copy and try if it still crashes?

[thorwin99]

Okay, i just got the freeze myself

[thorwin99]

And i found the reason for the freeze. The patch that generates asteroids while jumping also affects contract generation, where the SE code is badly written and goes into an infinite loop for some reason. Just need to fix that

[thorwin99]

Its an SE bug, In MyContractTypeRapairStrategy, in GenerateContract, it tries to generate a contract within a sphere around the station. For that, it overlaps all asteroid seeds in a sphere, which means it tries to get all asteroids within the sphere mentioned above. However, since this contract tries to generate within the Lost_Hope_Cluster, there will always be asteroids in there. The code assumes some cell must not have any asteroid in it. But that's not the case, since the plugin generates asteroids there. So, the SE code now infinitely tries to find a cell where no asteroid is in, within the asteroid cluster.

This is not a problem i can solve currently, as my asteroid generator works as expected. However, you can try to either remove the cluster that creates the problem, or disable patching, or the long way, to create a bug report on Keens support site, as it is a bit weird that the contract generator can run into an infinite loop.

[anthoam]

Ok I might just try to remove the cluster the time being. Is there any reason I should let patching enabled ? What are the advantages when using the plugin ?

[thorwin99]

The plugin works without patching, but it fixes some bugs with the plugin and SE that cannot be fixed without modifying SE code. In this case, a patch to fix jumpdrive jumping into asteroid fields, where you might end up within an asteroid. With patching enabled, the plugin will give SE all locations of the asteroids, so it can avoid then when jumping. The same method, however, is used when creating a contract. The contract creation doesnt abort though and tries to brute force a location for the contract, even if there is none. In that case, the loop runs infinite.

[anthoam]

Ok I understand everything. Thank you for all the answers.

[thorwin99]

Actually, i might just have found out the fix, if everything works out i will publish an update tomorrow.

[thorwin99]

There was a bug in the plugin, where it returned all asteroids of the cell that overlapped the contract area, instead of the asteroids within the contract area. This might fix the issue.

[thorwin99]

The fix is live on the github, pluginhub still needs to approve it

[anthoam]

Oh great ! I'll give it a try then.

[anthoam]

I played for a bit more than 20 minutes and no freeze so far. Thanks for everything !

[thorwin99]

I will close the issue for now
