My game crashes. What to do now?

[Loshia]

If the game crashes on startup then make sure that you have applied all the updates mentioned in the Technical FAQ (http://forums.blackseastudios.com/showthread.php?t=360), question #8. If that does not help then read bellow.

Every time WorldShift crashes to desktop a dump file is created. This file is very important and could help us eliminate the problem that is causing the game to misbehave. The dump file is located here:

%APPDATA%\WorldShift\Logs\

The file is named something like "crash-080211-192433-0.8.7.18407.dmp". The first group of digits is the current date, the second one is the current time and the last one is the version of the game, i.e. version 0.8.7 in this case.

Archive the file to ZIP and attach it to this thread. I will monitor it closely and inspect all files attached.

Please do report only recent crashes that are from the current version of the game. If the current version is 0.8.7 than all crashes from 0.8.6 and earlier will be discarded and deleted from the thread.

The dump file is automatically generated using the Windows debug API and does not contain any personal or private information whatsoever.

OK, guys. I'm not quite sure if I have the right to post here, since I am not a part of the beta (couldn't get an key) but I'll do it anyways.

I downloaded the pre-beta and tried it on my laptop but I keep getting this weird message at startup - "Worldshift encountered a problem". It loads the little splash-thingy, the cursor changes and then this thing pops up. I attach the dmp file below, I really hope this will help you guys in some way. Keep the great work and I hope I can be more useful when the open beta comes up.

Cheers!
:cheers:

P.S. For some reason I have no rights to attach a file so I uploaded it here (http://www.filefactory.com/file/fa1f45)

u cant play the game without a key... try to reinstall, but that wont help u playing this game anyway

[Loshia]

Eleven, thank you very much for providing this report. Another bug bites the dust :)

Next update will fix this issue. However, you will not be able to play the game because you are required to have a valid CD key.

some Coop crash, hope you enjoy it

Hear i my crash log from when i played A place of Death

[ExiFox]

Alright so here we go. Myself and several other people have had a problem since the new patch. This problem is rather irritating in that the game works perfectly fine until an item would be picked up. We can click the pod and start getting it but as soon as it finishes it crashes to desktop with th vague error of "WorldShift has encountered an Error." I've attached the 4 different logs into the same zip. They are all from today (Feb 22, 08) ranging from 5:30 PM to 8:40. If you need more information please ask and I will help however I can.

Additionaly, there has been noticed an error from several people that gamespy is giving an error "gs_qrnochallenge" when trying to start the special location "ROM Base" when you attempt to invite people to it. The games using ROM Base do not appear on the special location games list. EDIT: This has not caused a crash yet but we cannot start a game using ROM Base.

[Eleven]

Here they are - my crashes so far. One is a noob-crash (tried to start the game with a "-window" parameter from the shortcut, which I am not quite sure whether is possible. And, yes, I know there is an option in the settings menu for windowed mode, but for some reason this menu freezes the game on my PC). The other 3 are as far as I remember two alt-tab crashes and one just out of the blue in the middle of a practice session.

Game crashes when i pick up the first artefakt in the mission: Approaching Esperanza

[Demented]

I don't remember what crash it was; it may have been while I was logging in.

33
Edit: Wait a minute... That might be a 0.9.0 dump. Huh. My 0.9.2 dumps are coming up empty.

I crashed a couple other times (in the Retribution mission, after a hero died from the captive greenskins), but for some reason the dumps were written as 0 bytes and contained nothing.

Alias is IcarusNine
Operating system is Vista 64-bit
Version # is 0.9.2

[Loshia]

Thank you very much. This is a pretty serious crash. New update is available now that fixes it.

[Demented]

Your gift of 0.9.3 is greatly appreciated.
And now I have a surprise for you.
Surprise will be deployed in 3... 2...

Time out for a second. What is that? That is not the surprise.

Portal references aside, I was just playing a 3-player coop game when I was disconnected. It then proceeded to log me out of my account and turn my lovely planetary backdrop into a light shade of baby blue. When I attempted to log back in, the game crashed.

[Viper]

Crash (0.9.3)

Occured when i selected my item of choice after the first mission, A bolt from the blue "A problem was encountered!"

After the bug i was still able to select the next mission (Destruction), Unknown if i received the item or not.

[Saurak]

Ok when I tried to change my setting in game the game just paused. I`m a patient person so I waited about 3-5 minutes and it didnt keep going. I did it when I was sneaking the tribe leader around to get in the back of the enemy base....single player mission.

[Locke]

This crash occurred just as a cooperative session in 0.9.4 had ended. My girlfriend, Cameo in-game, was the first to die. When she selected her mission reward, the cursor turned into the item that she clicked, but then all motion in the game ceased. She couldn't release the reward into her inventory. I had her try ALT-ENTER to see if the game was actually still working and just needed a 'refresh' but it was unresponsive. After a CTRL-ALT-DEL, she tried a 'Switch to' but the game never came back up. She was forced to 'End task' it.

This log is from her computer. She hasn't created a forum account yet, so I'm posting it in her stead.

I was the host of the game, and we had three players total. I cannot remember the name of our other ally, nor whether or not he/she had any issues. I was able to choose my reward and exit the session without incident.

Hope this helps.

I am having an install problem. the extractable file from fileplanet doesn't properly install and unpack the game into the game folder. When i start it normally it has no ExE file. i fixed that by putting all the files from the fileplanet install into the bin folder created by the installer but then i get a error "There was an error loading the PhysX engine." Now i know the other ziped files in the download go some where "DEC2006_d3dx9_x86" "dxdllreg_x86" "dxnt" "dxupdate" but i dont know in which folder they go into and if they go into a sub-folder. Anyone have like a read me install somewhere?

I wasnt sure where to put this little problem i was having so i put it here the closest to what i was having a problem with. also no error logs are created because the game doesn't even install correctly.

[cantusenick]

when you installed did you get an error? Did you check the bin folder for the exe? does it create a start menu shortcut on install?

I had a similar problem, assuming you downloaded in in a .zip file, create a new folder on your desktop, and extract the entire zip into there, and run the setup.exe through there, should work.

@Viper:
hmm run it directly from the zip? don't use the setup?
the folder is put it into is on my desktop called "game" i run the "worldshift.exe" correct? i just tried and got the same "physcX" error


"when you installed did you get an error? Did you check the bin folder for the exe? does it create a start menu shortcut on install?"

@cantusenick:
I got no error while using the setup.exe from the .zip file. the bin folder only had "boxart_NEU.PNG", "config", "Gamemce.exe", "MCEWrapper". thats the only thing installed inside the bin folder the data folder is empty.

It sort of reads like you first tried running the setup.exe from within the zip? when that didnt work you extracted the zip and ran the worldshift.exe correct? What needs to be done is extract the zip to a folder, and then run the setup.exe from the extracted contents. this will isntall the game to a location of your choice and give you a start menu shortcut. You shoudl now be able to run.

If i have misread your post I do apologise :)

you read correctly when i said what was in the bin folder that was what the setup.exe installs in total
Data folder = empty
Bin = "boxart_NEU.PNG", "config", "Gamemce.exe", "MCEWrapper"
then an uninstall that all that comes in.
this is all that is installed.

[cantusenick]

so when you run setup does it come up with a normal installer, asks you were to install it etc? Then does it give an error part way through the install or does it just crash to desktop?

[Banditks]

It runs normally like any installer, asks where i put in a location for custom [i have also done it on "typical" to the C drive] there is no error it runs through what looks to be a normal -quick- install and says "finished" then i pass the "comrade" thing and then it asks me if i want to run the game i kept the checked yes once and nothing happened then i also passed on it and tried the normal exe start and the errors occur then due to the install doesn't seem to fully work.

hmm i am not sure what you mean there.
Well its late here so i am going to get some rest. i am going to re-download the .zip file from fileplanet to see if there was a corrupt download somewhere along the line.

[Testament]

Two Crash Logs here, the first one , if im not wrong, was during a Coop Mission (first mission).The other one was when i clicked on a received Item after a finished Coop Mission to drag it over into my Inventory (at the Mission complete screen).

[Banditks]

I found out with a new download from fileplanet that my winzip while unziping the contents of the zip file had an error somewhere along the line and messed things up. So i have installed it correctly and it seems to be working fine. thanks for the help!

Loaded the game up the first time and it crashed. It was before it had allowed me to update, so not sure if its been fixed yet. Thought I would put it here just in case.

Another crash on the "A new enemy" scenario.

[Cyras]

Hi,

it seems that my game crashes everytime after some minutes(5-15) if I play with 2 or more other people. (1vs1 or cooperation with 1 other works fine)

The problem is that the game doesn't create a log, it just gives a message when it crashes.

I couldn't finnish even 1 game without a crash, but Singleplayer and 1vs1/coop(2ppl) seems to work without any problems.

OS: Windows Vista
CPU: E6750 (2,66 Ghz)

€: OK, the problem is more complicated. I played with a friend of mine today (Map safarie). The final boss, bill made a big explosionspell. In that moment i got the same error with "alloc()" etc. And his game froze for ~30 seconds. He has the same computersettings like me.

I have a problem when I am playing Deadly Safari. I can play it for a while but then it starts to "lag" and sometimes freeze and finally it crashes. I noticed that worldshift.exe is using a lot of memory when this happens. And I encounter this problem everytime when I am playing Deadly Safari. And there is nothing in that dumpfile which is created with that crash (the file is created but it is 0 bytes and doesn't contain anything but I added it here anyway...). I took a screen of that mem usage if it would help somehow.

Sorry, you just need a better video card in order to play the game

[Rynn]

on board video

Excuse me...


:bash:

If you're that desperate, and using an onboard solution, you should consider buying something in the league of the old 9800XT cards. Don't expect framerate miracles, but compared to your... solution, it will seem like one. You can get such a card in a price range from 20-60€, or 100€if you want to give your old machine a real revival.

Edit: Didn't mean to sound mean. But onboard stuff is, aside from network solutions, always a bad choice. Unless you're like my younger sister and play mostly 2D games or do office work...

Sorry, you just need a better video card in order to play the game

Thanks. What are the system requirements? I couldn't find them posted.

[Rynn]

Thanks. What are the system requirements? I couldn't find them posted.

Garp, your other system components are fine, you just need a different graphics card to play WorldShift, as your onboard one doesn't seem to support functions, that are crucial for WS (I'd take a guess that it does not support ShaderModel 2.0). You have 2 gigs of ram, and a 2.8ghz cpu which are good enough already to play WS smoothly.

I'd speculate the system specs like this:

128MB gfx card minimum (I'm using a 9800XT 256MB and it plays WS smoothly in every resolution @ Max Details. This card is like... 4 years old. Below that, you'd probably have to cut back in the visual goodies to get acceptable framerates. )
1.7 ghz cpu minimum (probably more... seeing how low-end user lag thorugh the maps...)
512MB RAM (highly recommended: 1024MB, better 2048MB for faster loading times and less HD swapping)
approx. 1.4 GB HD space
Sound Card
Cable Internet (Are there still Dial-Up users out there? o_O)

Someone correct my if my speculations were too far off. ;)

Probably same problem as most people but different slightly. I open the game and the little message box comes up saying "Worldshift (OPEN BETA)" then it stays like that for a while and then my cursor changes to the games cursor I guess but that all that happens. Then I get an error "Worldshift has encountered a problem". I read the posts and it said that people who don't have a beta key get that error but i do have one. It didn't ask for my key on installation however and my friend said you could put it in when the game starts but i never get to the main screen. Just the opening message and my cursor changes.

Still no permission to attach file so here is a link for another.

for some reason, the game crashs during Coop games. First you can hear a system beep, then worldshift minimizes itself, a small Popup without any text appears and the the whole programm stops

Vista x64

[Stifmaster]

Hm, says the problem anything about the video card driver? i have this problem with vista ultimate 64 regulary. for example: world of warcraft. Its start, after few minutes, the screen minimized and bubble says me "video driver could be reconized" or something like that, but the problem is a Microsoft/Nvidia problem. Its known since 5 months but they do nothing to fix it.

if u try to maximize the window again, u will get a bluescreen (screen of death) after few seconds/minutes. thats the reason why iam using the most time xp.

[sonarnet]

sounds strange.

I guess you have the newest nvidia driver and that you checked your hardware-manager for errors. Some other source of error could be your mainboard. Try to find out if windows-update installed a new driver which is not from your mainboard vendor and if yes replace it with an original one (or a newer one).

Sometimes compatibility mode and execute as admin helps quite well too.
:confused:

[Guldahn]

New patch, new crash^^

[Gnom]

how can i attach the file?

[sybex]

Press the button "Go Advanced" (right next to "Post Quick Reply") below your message window, then use the paper-clip icon (2nd icon on the first line, below "Message"). Use the "Browse..." button and select the file you want to upload, but make sure that you only can upload .jpg .txt and .zip files.

If you need more help let me know.

[Gnom]

the 2nd button in the first line below message is "undo"...

[Woudhan]

The game crashed every time if want pick up a item!

[sybex]

1st Button "Remove Text Formatting" 2nd Button "Attachments" (Paperclip icon)

Btw. did you activate your're forum account? You get an registration e-mail after you registered in this forum if you don't "activate" your account you can post but cannot change signature and i think you can't post attachments (had the same problem :( )

[Test]

Hey it's me sybex :)

Yeah i just tested it, if you have not activated your account you can't post attachments and so the 2nd button you see in the menue is "Undo", just check your e-mails.

best regards
sybex

[Animos]

[sybex]

New Logs, Game crash after every DM match. Could play round about 10h DM withou any Problems.

[insecticid]

The game crashes i don't know why.:bash:

[icebear]

game crashes with error message (in german) like "es ist ein fehler mit wolrdshift aufgetreten" (an error occourred)

[Selecta]

A lot of game crashes in the last few days...

[Gedasss]

I downloaded latest patch (in game client) and my antivirus alert a virus.

Win32/Statik

Is this patch have a virus? How to remove it? It is dangerous?

Or maybe it is false antivirus alert? i hear about false alerts in patches.

[jediguardian]

What antivirus are you using? If it is not Kaspersky or Nod32 it is a false alarm. Kaspersky ftw.

[Gedasss]

I'm using Nod32. So, then don't worry about it? Just close anitivirus and normally download a patch?

Sorry for my bad english.

[jediguardian]

Even Nod makes mistakes.

[RaZouille]

Crash when I launch the game : File here (http://site.voila.fr/erasor/crash.zip)

[Selecta]

Since some days I can't even start WS.

I played the game about 2 weeks without any error like this. Only disconnects or smaller problems...

I'm using Vista 64-bit and I have changed nothing to my system (no drivers, no programms).

Now I tried reinstalling WS, new drivers, updates, run-as-admin, deactivated UAC, without antivirus (uninstall)..........

Please find a way... here are the logs....

[MagoMexicano]

I am thinking of buying another computer.

For whose who can't start the game anymore, like "Worldshift encountered a problem" always on startup,
try to delete the profile file (file.gs.acc). Using Vista, you can find it in %APPDATA%\WorldShift\profiles.
Deleting this file will only delete your graphics and sound settings, so you will not lose objects and records...
I deleted this file and then the game starts normally.

Sorry for bad english ;)

[MagoMexicano]

Thank you where you find in Windows XP? file.gs.acc :sad:

[jediguardian]

C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\Application Data\WorldShift\Profiles
It should be something like MagoMexicano.gs.acc
