[b38] Changing weapon sets with X crashes the game

[MisiuPysiu]

When I try to change weapon sets with "X" the screen starts to blink, and the game effectively crashes. I have to kill the process in the task manager to get rid of the problem.

Crash or freeze ?? do you have the savefile ?

[phantomglider]

This happened to me too. The game freezes, and the screen blinks black. When I took off the quiver in the weapon set I was switching away from, it stopped happening.

This happens to me too, consistently. It does seem to be related to a ranged off-weapon and switching to/from it.

It's not a crash, and not exactly a freeze. The screen goes blank except for the cursor, which will move, but clicking anywhere doesn't seem to do anything. Keypresses don't seem to have any effect. The music continues to play. I ran from a command line to see if there were any error messages, and got an endless stream of the following until I killed the process:

Lua Error: /engine/LogDisplay.lua:188: attempt to index a nil value
At [C]:-1 __index
At /engine/LogDisplay.lua:188 toScreen
At /mod/class/uiset/Minimalist.lua:1415 displayGameLog
At /mod/class/uiset/Minimalist.lua:1670 display
At /mod/class/Game.lua:1056

I can provide a save file if you let me know what file(s) are involved.

Happens here as well. Pressing 'x' once is fine. Pressing it a second time causes the black screen and the Lua errors and forces me to kill the t-engine process (and it's ignoring SIGTERM, too -- have to use SIGHUP).

This is with a dwarf bulwark with nothing equipped in the secondary set.

Update: 'x', then equipping stuff in the secondary set, and a second 'x' -- no crash.

Looks like it only locks up when you press 'x' with empty hands.

[valenin]

Not only. The character I saw it on didn't have empty hands. I went though most of the first-tier dungeons happily using a sling/shot offset and 'x' to swap. Then I got into the Maze, found some new shot, went to swap it in, and it started happening.

Also seeing this. Screen flashes black rapidly over and over, no input possible. Testing addons, I've seen this sort of glitch when I try to do something with a variable that hasn't been defined, if that helps.

[vertoch]

I had the same problem (screen flickers to black, goes solid black if I try to resize). I was able to fix it by disabling frame buffers in the video settings. Hope that helps.
FWIW, I'm running 32-bit Windows 7 Sp1 with an NVIDIA Quatro NVS 135m graphics card.

[Teber2]

had the same with playing a temp warden using his original range weaponry. first had weapon changed twice. attaching error log file FWIW. hope this helps. save file available om request (too big to attach here)

edit: the error also occurred when using the mouse command in inventory.

[darkgod]

fixed

[Teber2]

thank you my Lord

[feanor70115]

It's still not fixed as far as I can see. I downloaded b38 again, created a character, pressed x twice and the game crashed.

So, do we wait for b39 for a fix?

[phantomglider]

Yeah, when he says that he means that it's fixed for the next beta.
