"Random" combat crash diagnosis

[Alakabon]

From reading the nexus forums, it seems something still breaks when combat is triggered.
Short of a better idea, I'll add IEDebug logs to pretty much every part of the mod at the Beginning and End of method calls and try to isolate the problematic modules by looking in the log for missing end calls... This might take a while but I have a bit of time in the next few days.

I couldn't get it to crash myself but someone sent me a log file. There was a staggering amount of errors who looked like this:

(Filename: Line: 273)
The file 'C:/Program Files (x86)/Pillars of Eternity The White March Part II/PillarsOfEternity_Data/sharedassets79.assets' is corrupted! Remove it and launch unity again!
[Position out of bounds! 3500296 > 3498200]

(Filename: Line: 273)
A script behaviour has a different serialization layout when loading. (Read 2848 bytes but expected 752 bytes)
Did you #ifdef UNITY_EDITOR a section of your serialized properties in any of your scripts?

These however, did not cause the crash, at least not directly.

The last call in the stackTrace is to PartyMemberAI:Update (), which is modified by fastSneak directly. MaxAdventurers also affects PartyMemberAi, but does not alter Update. Both of these options were activated in the mod (fastSneak and 16 companions).

I'm not very familliar with Patchworks...Could it be a symptom of having to alter the same file twice or am I looking in the wrong place ?

[tjayharvey]

Patchwork works off of methods, not files, so unless both mods are altering the same method it shouldn't matter.

[Alakabon]

Allright that narrows it down, I'll try adding try/catch blocks and see if I can get it to throw something meaningful...

Thanks for checking in !

a guy on nexus was doing some tests and he figured that game crashes even if no options are used at all. besides im using fast sneak code for a standalone module and it works just fine. i highly doubt its a matter of some options being enabled even if they modify same classes\methods.

Hey, thought I\d add a small bit from the nexus, seems relevant.

Hi tjay,

Just thought I'd add my 2 cents - recently been having crashes in combat and I think i narrowed down the trigger. My rogue has Azureith's Stilletto and whenever the shocking jolt procs, the game crashes. I know because it freezes for an instant and plays the shocking sound effect before crashing.

I'm also using the custom NPC stats parsing method and it worked the first time I used it, but subsequent launches do not have any stat changes from the defaults, once more.

Options I have on:

• Always show circles
• Unlock combat loot
• NPC disposition fix
• Fix moving recovery rate
• Auto-load custom NPC stats
• Target turned enemies
• Fast scouting

Cheers, Krim
