Hey,
I bought the whole package in the summer sale, and started to enjoy it. But it keeps crashing after ~5-10min. Always. It is the current version, and I thought a lot of fixes where issued with that. Also, after the crash (and even after I stopped the steam process), a process called "WFTOGame.x86_64" runs with about 4GB of memory in use. If start the game again, another process with the same name appears. What can I do to make this game run smoothly without crashing all the time. My stats are:


OS: Manjaro Linux x86_64 
Kernel: 4.17.0-2-MANJARO 
DE: KDE 
WM: KWin 
CPU: Intel i5-6600K (4) @ 4.100GHz 
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950 
Memory: 15984MiB 


What I tried so far:

Changing the resolution to the lowest and deactivated anti aliasing and the other option to recommended to deactivate. A crash log was not created, but a Player.log. 


Thanks for the help!

Crash under Ubuntu 18.04

Since upgrading my computer from Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04, WFTO crashes after some time playing a map. This happened both times I tried : once with a custom map (campaign from DK1) ; once in the HOG campaign.

Player.log

Game is crashing after some minutes

I have a new problem since todays patch 2.0.1

WftO is crashing every few minutes (10 minutes) randomly


I uploded my player.log

Hey aszlig,


Could we get your Player.log?


Posting Output Logs

I run WFTO in a mount namespace with a tmpfs, so I don't have the Player.log anymore, but the backtrace is the same as in the provided core dump (and also the same as the one of the thread starter).

For reference:


#0 0x0000000000f973be in ?? ()
#1 0x0000000000f8f444 in ?? ()
#2 0x0000000000f2379b in ?? ()

Here is the disassembly around 0xf973be:

Note: The last callq is for the demangled symbol <operator new(unsigned long)@@base+0x27c9d0>.

For the sake of completeness, I just reproduced the issue by doing the first tutorial map with a fresh game state and here is the requested Player.log


Also note, that the first three lines are not relevant because it's the Mono crash handler.


PS: It could also help if you can provide us the DWARF (or any format you prefer) symbols for the executable, so we could help debugging.

Okay, I did dig deeper now and my first guess was pretty much inaccurate to say the least. Digging through the assembly however was quite nasty, because a huge chunk of code is inlined and the crash is inside a for loop containing a big switch statement.


However, if I didn't get confused, some of pointers for the vertex components didn't get initialized correctly, so a construct like this looks like it's the cause for the segfault:


&vertexdeclaration->channels[j]


Here j is some value derived from the iteration value of the for-loop (didn't yet check how it is derived though), which iterates from 0 to 27 (no idea yet why 27, but it looks like it's some enum).


So in summary: I'm pretty certain that this is caused by invalid initialization of some shader channels.


What I didn't yet find out is which one exactly, because from what I have observed it's still a Heisenbug :-/


Going check that on Tuesday or maybe even Monday if nobody else has found the invalid shader in the meantime (again, with debugging symbols it's only a matter of minutes to find out).


PS: It doesn't even necessarily need to be an invalid shader in the first place but could also be memory corruption, which would support my initial guess about a race condition.

Found some sources online which are pretty close to the code in question, and this is where the crash happens, so I think I wasn't that wrong after all with my analysis.


However, I still haven't figured out exactly when this is triggered, nor am I sure whether the linked code is a part of Unity3d or just got statically linked in by something else.

Is the update just for Steam? Because on GOG the version for GNU/Linux is still at 2.0.3f1.

No crashes for me, but very low fps (This could just be the level I suppose). More interestingly, I have a "ghost" process of the game running, after exit, taking up a rather large chunk of memory - see attached screenshot. Might have crashed on a system with less RAM?
