B244 Crash while attempting to enter gorge tunnel

Roobubba

I was a fade, entering a gorge tunnel from fabrication hive to hydroanalysis on descent, and I got a complete game crash with a window behind saying something along the lines of debug, I couldn't switch to this window to see what it said, and I couldn't screenshot either. Presumably others are using gorge tunnels so it could be a difficult one to track down...

The window indicated there might be a couple of text files written, but I couldn't read it behind the alt-tab aero effect. Where might these be, and would it be useful for me to find them for you?

Haven't tried to replicate yet, will be back on tomorrow I think.

When NS2 crashes now, do not close any popups or screens, but rather navigate to your NS2 install folder and run techsupport.exe
It will create a dump file thats WAY more useful than windows's task manager's , that you then can email to UWE or upload here or PM me with.

Thanks!

Happened to me couple of days ago as well. I see, the thread is quite old and it's about windows version (I'm running Debian Jessie amd64) but maybe this bug either wasn't fixed or it's a kind of known memory-related crashes. Unfortunately, I forgot to save log.txt. Maybe it's a good idea to rotate logs? For example, store last 10 logs (log.txt is current, others are log.1.txt, log.2.txt and so on) and after that delete the oldest one and rename others. It's a common practice on *nix systems and I personally consider it good.

My latest crashes in dmesg are:

@rkfg can you please search the forums for similar symptoms that are linux based?
And if you cannot find one please make a new thread. Thanks!

@IronHorse I've already done it and found no threads about crash on entering gorge tunnel except this one. Though it crashes mostly on map change this time it was as described so I've remembered a thread here somewhere about gorge tunnel crash and dared to dig it up. I also created a thread with tech info about memory leaks (there were almost none such detailed threads about linux version of NS2 to the date) but no one responded.

Log attached. This time dmesg doesn't show anything crash-related. Verified game cache without any errors or redownloading so it seems to be correct.
