Summary0001045: FS2NetD Offline causes Create Game to Crash
DescriptionGame host crash

Contents:
Summary
Trials

Additional Info:
My FS2 Setup


Summary: Game crashes when creating a new game after failing to connect to fs2netd. All trials were run while fs2netd (66.25.7.198) was offline.

Below are 8 (actually 7) different test cases I ran with different options. Turns out it was completely dependent on when it tries to connect to fs2netd... but I included all the info anyway. Attached are logs related to each trial number.

Trial #: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

R=Ran

Well, the trial table I added above doesn't look so good in a non fixed-width font (no columns line up), so I'm including the same info as an image (trial-table.gif).

Should be mostly fixed in the next avialable build. Don't know if it will be 100% though, but there will probably just be a few extra in-game warning messages to bug you.

Interesting Note: I just retried Trial 0000005 (no standalone, no mediavps, just fs2netd) with the debugger:
fs2_open_3_6_9_debug.exe -multilog

...And there was NO CRASH. Interesting that it did crash with same conditions for fs2_open_3_6_9.exe

Thanks Taylor, that's fine with me. Obviously created a netd server when netd is down doesn't have any practical use (Though it would be so cool if I could set up a standalone, regardless of whether netd is online, and have it automatically check and sign-in on netd when it is back online).

Oh, and the "0000005" above was an accident... just the result of me putting "#" and "5" together.

 It could probably use some more adjustments to be better, but try out this build and let me know if the crashing is fixed at least: http://icculus.org/~taylor/fso/willrobinson/gamma_test.rar

(NOTE: that build has multiple new bits of code for testing and includes both normal and FRED builds, in general it should be safe for standard use though)

Thanks Taylor, I'd be happy to try it out. I tried the link you posted, but all I got was a disgusting tofu burger of delirium - I got your very perculiar 404 page. :) Can you re-post the link? Thanks man.

Sorry, not yet... I posted this on Sunday just before I left home, and haven't been back since. I'll be able to try this out either this evening or the next. Thanks man.

Hey.. the gamma version definitely kicked the bug. I re-tried my # 5 and # 7 trials with gamma... and couldn't get it too crash. :)

Thanks!

Cool! Just keep an eye on it in the next few builds and if this shows up again just reopen the bug and I'll take another look.
