[0.90.11 x64] (CTD) Multi-Zone Walls
Posted: Mon Apr 11, 2016 12:58 pm
As suggested in the subject, I believe placing walls which span across two zones (specifically Okran's Gulf and the Border Zone in this case) causes a hard crash which leaves no dumpfile. Both error.log and crashhunter.log have a tremendous number of repeats of the following "PROBLEM - recalculateWorldAABB: Makeshift Wall."
Here is the URL for the 7z of my most recent save: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/248 ... tosave2.7z
Further (minor) information:
Initially I placed a large number of walls around my settlement then went about slowly building them while I had most of my units mining/researching. Once I noticed the crashes, I immediately suspected the walls (due to the shear number of them). Upon removing them (even though perhaps only 10% had actually been built), I noticed the crashes went away. Slowly I started rebuilding my walls and as I did this, I began to notice that I would only crash when I tried to connect the north and south sides of my settlement (which is built around the edge of a small mountain range). Noting that I would occasionally see "Okran's Gulf" and "Border Zone" displayed across my screen when switching between the two sides, I decided to send one unit around the base prospecting so that I could get an idea of where the borders actually were.
As there is no crashdump I can provide, with the auto save you can see from the south section of the settlement that the eastern part of my walls end just before the zone switch and the western walls overlap. Thus to reproduce the bug one could simply load the save, wait for a CTD (less than 5 minutes), then load the save, delete the walls spanning across Okran's Gulf and Border Zone, then note the disappearance of the CTD.
Let me know if there is anything else I can provide or if clarification is necessary.
Thanks
