Did you get any crash dump report files you can attach to this bug report?

Zarel changed priority from major to critical

anonymous commented

why this mark critical if no help to reproduce is given?

Zarel commented

Because it's known to happen.

Okay, here are instructions to reproduce:

• Make an 8-player game.
• Wait for people to join.
• Wait for people to try to change teams, colors, etc, often at the same time.
• A crash should occur after around 5 minutes. Wait a bit longer, if you must.

At the very least, the "Chat in the lobby server gets erased after any event (player joins game, changes position, etc) when your typing" bug is easily reproducible (and I plan on fixing that when I get internet again).

And by "fixing" I mean "looking into" - I don't know enough about it to fix it outright.

Um, these are two different issues...

How about some logs of this? --debug net would be nice... (from everyone involved)

AFAIK, the chat thing isn't a bug, that is just the way it was designed. Yeah, it is annoying as heck... and should be a new ticket by itself, with a task for you to fix it :)

Meh, I am not going to have free time on my Windows machine for a long time. I might have to figure out how to get Xcode to work without lots of struggling. We could use an active Mac developer, anyway.

I'll work on the chat thing in #924. This ticket will pertain to the crashy stuff.

Considering you can actually host, you can actually reproduce the bug (I gave you step by step instructions for doing so - they work at most times of day). I can't, myself, because I can't host right now. Why can't you produce the logs yourself?

Buginator commented

It didn't do that for us when we tried a 8p game.

So there is something missing in the equation...

Zarel commented

That's strange. Have you tried kicking people? And waiting for 8 players to join, and leave a few times?

I managed to setup an 8 player game, and it did not crash, but all players were booted off for some reason. I get the "SDL is not running on known window manager" idiocy and the dpid accounting seems off, but hard to tell what is wrong.

We can't fix the crash reported in this ticket based on the anecdotes offered, so I am closing this ticket again. Please open more specific tickets when better evidence of the culprits is found.

We should also discuss either backporting the network code in trunk to a new 2.2 based branch, or forward porting the old renderer to a trunk based 2.3 branch, because the current mess is pretty hard to maintain for a long time. Take further discussion of this to the mailing list.
