| Summary | 0000974: Mac OSX AI War 4.022 Freezes | ||||
| Description | I have tried playing about 7 games so far, and 1 with 4.022, and the game keeps on freezing. I am in full screen mode, and am not able to exit the game at all...only with a hard restart of the computer. It happens usually at the 35-55 minute mark in the games. I am not very knowledgable at error reports or how to find logs for yall to use, but if you tell me where to go to find them, I will upload them for you. | ||||

Sorry to hear about the troubles, they have been more common on the OSX side though lots of people have no trouble over there. It's been tricky trying to figure out what's going on. Anyway, the logs are the most likely to help and will be in the RuntimeData folder under your game directory; they're text files like UnhandledErrors.txt and FailedAssertions.txt . For the having-to-hard-start thing, windowed mode may be best until things settle down. By the way, roughly how far into the game are you getting before it freezes? |

Oh, nvm, just saw your comment about 35-55 minutes in, thanks :) |

I found the file....I reread the bug tracker forum as well, and it pointed me to the same place to find the file. |

Thanks for posting that. Sigh, though, it's the same-ol-same-ol pthread exception when trying to load a sound file. That in itself doesn't bring the game down, it keeps going a bit further but then whatever the overarching problem is just makes it all die. And we've not been able to find out what the problem is or find anyone else who has done so. So basically we just keep fixing up stuff we think might be causing errors and hope it does something to help. Not that playing with no sound is desirable, but does it do any better with sound and music disabled? |

I haven't tried playing with either the sound or music disabled. This latest crash I noticed that the sound effects stopped for about 30 seconds, but the game and music still played. After the 30 seconds though, the whole game froze. |

Coming in 4.023: * If the dreaded pthread_getschedparam error is encountered on OSX, normally this means a crash is imminent within 30 seconds or so if the player does not disable their sound first. ** We've been attempting many things to solve this problem, and still will be hunting for it, but as a temporary salve we've now made it so that when this error is encountered it will AUTOMATICALLY disable the sound for the player and shows them a message advising them to save their game and restart the program asap. ** It also now logs some extra information about the state of their program to hopefully aid in actually fixing the root cause of this. ** It also stops further images, music, and similar from being loaded, as they could also trigger the same crash and the player really needs to restart, anyway. |

Thankfully, it seems that Chris's rewrite of the sound subsystem has finally solved the OSX saga of problems with it :) |
