map crashing-Solved

Post by samjb1992 » Thu Feb 02, 2017 2:36 pm

Is any one else having maps crash either on start up or half way done loading when loaded through the file/open level option? I'm on a mac and using beta and use the internal testing branch. any help would be great.

Try disabling the steam overlay, or waiting for a very long time for the overlay to disappear before clicking file -> open.

If that doesn't help, try disabling mods and verifying the cache integrity. Then if you are still having problems, report back and let us know which level you're trying to load.

I tried all those and it dosent load any level. if I try to load the campaign or arena it works, it only fails if i load the level from file/open level. I can load any of my of my custom maps or default maps for editing.

the game tries to load the map, it gets to "initialising game.." then crashes. no matter what map I try.

here is the crash report i get:

What level are you trying to load, specifically? I just loaded a level via file -> open on the mac (heading_north_2.xml), on internal_testing, and get no error.

Please send your crash dump zip file to [email protected], and make sure to include the files mentioned on this page - http://wiki.wolfire.com/index.php/How_T ... Overgrowth
