NeonsStyle 572 Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 I downloaded it today to upgrade. Installed over the previous version. Working on my level, selecting a floor, walls, cornices, skirting boards, doors/doorways, copying, and begin to move into a new position and DR just shuts down. No crash, no error message, it just instantly closes. Very frustrating trying to build something when it keeps shutting down on me.

greebo 34 Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 Doesn't it even show you "DarkRadiant has stopped working" or something? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NeonsStyle 572 Posted November 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 Sorry, forgot I posted this here, and PM'd you about it. No, there's absolutely nothing. It just shuts down without any warning whatsoever. No error messanges, no stopped working. Just POOF and it's gone! Is there a debug log somewhere?

greebo 34 Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 Sorry to hear that you lost some work, I know how that sucks. There's the darkradiant.log in the C:\Users\Neon\AppData\Roaming\DarkRadiant folder, it will probably not show much, but I'd like to see it nonetheless. Is this stackoverflow fix helping to get the popup back? https://superuser.com/questions/1246626/is-it-by-design-that-windows-10-no-longer-displays-app-has-stopped-working-d/1349113#1349113 If you get the popup back, I'd need the crash dump to debug your problem.

NeonsStyle 572 Posted November 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) I'm also getting this error when I try to load the autosave and that's why I'm losing work. I lost all the work I did on this 3 story stairwell today. A lot of it is in the autosave but I get this bug when I try to load it. I found the log you mentioned, but seems it gets written over from the last close, and there's no mention of a crash, just date and time of the last close a few minutes ago. I'm reluctant to try to recreate it as that means recreating all the work I did today, which would be a pain since most of it is in that autosave file.

NeonsStyle 572 Posted November 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 Discovered something. The autosave map for the latest version is empty, so I've lost a good 2 hours of very detailed work To be honest, I don't think 2.9.1 is ready yet. It's not reliable. Which is such a shame cause I really wanted to use that Connect feature. 1 Quote I have an eclectic YouTube channel making videos on a variety of games.

7318 14 Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) randomly crashing on me too, i think it's the autosave feature. i tried to GDB it but I can't get a back trace, in ubuntu it shows the "this program has stopped responding" but repeated instances happened during an autosave. I'm gonna try deselecting the autosave feature... Edited November 21, 2020 by 7318 Quote Biel Bestué de Luna - Github Link to post Share on other sites
7318 14 Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 yes autosave crashes darkradiant, deselecting autosave in settings solved the crashes. Quote Biel Bestué de Luna - Github Link to post Share on other sites
greebo 34 Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Oh my, this is bad. I didn't see that one coming, since I've seen DR 2.9.0 being used for hours including autosave and it never crashed here. I need help to find the problem, so please give me more info about the things you're working on. @Neon and 7318: is it reliably crashing for you when it's trying to autosave? I need to look into the cause and find a different way to handle that saving part, but I need to be sure it's that feature. @7318: you might get a stacktrace when it's stuck by launching DR in gdb and hit Ctrl-C in the gdb console when it's stopping to respond.

greebo 34 Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 I've pushed a few changes to git, changing the AutoSaver implementation (moving it to the UI module so that it can run on the UI thread). @7318Can you maybe check out this branch and see if there's any difference?

greebo 34 Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 I got a new pre-release build including that AutoSave change here, if anybody is still brave enough to check it out: Portable x64: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ko83oN3J09Zs3tpKQh4hrinSQzjZMozE/view?usp=sharing It's also fixing the camera strafe problem.

7318 14 Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) with the last pull, 5 mins and counting, the autosave is at 5 minutes and is on, I would say solved? Edited November 22, 2020 by 7318 Quote Biel Bestué de Luna - Github Link to post Share on other sites
greebo 34 Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 I keep my fingers crossed, I'm facing a lot more regressions in this release than I'd have hoped. Many things have changed, but I didn't see problems coming like the messed up colour schemes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NeonsStyle 572 Posted November 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 If you look in the text file of the autosave.map it's empty and there's only 3 lines in the autosave.darkradiant file. Might be something? Quote I have an eclectic YouTube channel making videos on a variety of games.
