[WIP] FX Update

[Sbygneus]

The same here. I get random CTD. I tried many configurations of mods but crashes persist. I am starting to suspect it has something to do with my hardware. Or because I got single core processor (3,4 Ghz Pentium) and not recommended double core?

Run dbg view (in SH54/data/applications) while you play and see what the final lines are after a CTD... if they're the same as me and these three other chaps then we know it's the same issue. There's no guarantee that it's FX_Update causing this, just that guy who said it started happening after install, but maybe TDW will be able to make sense of the debug information and tell us what's happening.

When viewing the log - check out the whole list.
Sometimes the fault "error" or "warning" shows on the list and then later this error causes the crash.

There's quite a few instances of this, or similar messages:

...but a search of the text shows no 'error' or 'warning' listed. Here's the last main bit anyway just for completeness sake. I can upload the whole thing to mediafire if it'll help.

Apols for walloftext! Googling 'OrbitGameFacade.cpp(297)' shows a few people talking about ubi server authentication... ??

The failed to intercept radio message entries are from the game (mod) 'rolling the dice' to see if your radioman intercepted the radio message or not. You can set the % chance that he does in the options file. Default value is 50% chance that he will intercept any given radio message.

Failed to read packet from client seems to be associated with out of memory problem.

Ok, any thoughts on what could be causing that?

Too many damn overly large DDS files in mods

Not sure what a .dds file is... textures? Could this be something on the French ship mentioned in the other post?

[urfisch]

yers, dds files are textures. readable with a special plugin for ps.

Ok I've been at my research like a good Kaleun and found these:

And Settlers 7 (4th post): http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/t...8/m/1591010829

and finally this post from subsim: http://174.123.69.202/~subsimc/radio...postcount=7197

In the final one, orbitgamefacade.cpp is connecting to the Ubi Servers to sync savegames, while the other two are both issues connecting to ubi servers:

So what we've got is a connection problem, do you think? The client (I assume the game launcher) is trying to send a packet of data to the ubi servers - and as it's not getting through, it's killing the game? I have my settings set not to sync saves, which I thought was meant to prevent problems like this - but I still get the message at game start regardless. Do you guys get that message too?

Further thought brings me back to this message:

00001283 599.81152344 [1924] Entities.cpp (123): succeeded

This crops up a lot and from the 'Entities' tag I assume this is something to do with ships near the sub, or something along those lines? Now I've noticed that sometimes autosaves are triggered in game when in proximity to ships, presumably when game states change from hunter to hunted (going from my very limited understanding here) or stuff like that. If this 'Entities' code is generating a state change that triggers an autosave (and in my log it's at TC16 when it happens, not sure if that's a factor or not), and that save tries to connect to the server for verification and fails... and then we get:

Course this is all speculation and I really know jack about this kinda thing... what do you guys think? Also, orbitcpp is c++; http://orbitcpp.sourceforge.net/

Probably deserves it's own thread though so we don't spam up TDW's FX thread? I'll open one if you guys think it's a good idea.

WOW, new version !!!

But can anyone please tell me the correct Install-Order with UI 6.7.0 ? Should we install FX_Update MOD before or after UI 6.7.0 ?

Best regards,
Magic

[THE_MASK]

I always have put FX before UI and the IRAI so
FX
UI
IRAI
