Fatal Bug

[TheLoneWolf]

So I encountered this fatal bug after getting destroyed by a Phobos. The report is attached as a picture with this post.

I got it when entering a stargate.

Any clues on its cause?

I've been getting this bug as well when testing my mods. For me, it usually occurs when there's a lot of bullets in the game, and something happens (usually, the player ship being destroyed).


Using alterecco's GODmod, I've found a way to reproduce this bug:

Step 1: Using GODmod, spawn a large, slow-moving ship (like a CSC or Iocrym command ship).
Step 2: Spawn a LOT (around 300) of ships that use missiles as escorts. Ranx dreadnoughts, Xenophobe worldships and the like tend to cause this crash often.
Step 3: Order your spawned ships to attack the ship spawned in step 1.
Step 4: Once the spawned ships start attacking and there are a good number of missiles on screen, self-destruct. Crash for me occurs immediately afterward.
Standing in the line of fire and getting blown up by the ships spawned in step 2 also causes a crash for me when the player ship is destroyed.

Oddly enough, using a script like this:

Code: Select all

	(setq crash_test (lambda Nil
	(block (
	(spawnPos (objgetpos gplayership))
	(myTarget (syscreateship &scIocrymCommandShip; spawnpos &svIndependentTrader;))
	)
	(shporder myTarget 'wander)
	(for i 0 300 (shporder (syscreateship &scXenophobeArk; (sysvectorpolaroffset spawnPos (random 0 360) 150) &svIndependentTrader;) 'attack myTarget))
	)))

to spawn an ICS, then spawn 300 Xenophobe arks around it and order them to attack the ICS doesn't cause this crash when I self-destruct/get blown up by the Arks. The crash for me seems to only occur when GODmod is used to spawn the ships in question.

The resulting crash report looks like this:

EDIT: Got the same error when I repeated this, except with entering a stargate instead of getting destroyed. Note, the spawned Xenophobe arks and ICS are way off screen while I entered the stargate.

EDIT2: Formatting.

This might be the same bug that is afflicting my ZapSats from the Drake Technologies mod. The ZapSats spawn missiles that orbit a ship, and they refresh every two seconds. There is also an auton (called Oracle) that uses zapsats instead of a proper shield. When the player dies while this auton or other NPC with ZapSats is in the system, the game crashes immediately.

I do not remember seeing this bug during the 1.7 alphas, and maybe even beta 1 or 2. This bug is definitely a regression.

Happened twice in 2 days for me. First time was at a Penitence temple (I posted a topic about it) and today it happened when I got nuked by Earth Slavers in the Huaramarca system. Vanilla game.

I've encountered this a few times, and it seems to occur when the debris is interacting with a dead player.

Can't predictably replicate it, unfortunately.
