Bug Reports & Support (modded) / JRE CTD
« on: April 13, 2022, 11:05:57 PM »
Operating system: Arch Linux
Graphics card: Radeon RX480
Available RAM / VRAM: 32 GB / 8 GB
StarSector version: 0.95.1a-RC6
Issue: Game CTD predominantly during loading and saving; occasional CTD during the campaign or combat layer.
I've been doing some stabs-in-the-dark to resolve the issue but I've ran out of options hence the forum post.
For the first 13 or so cycles there was no issues; no major modding changes were done prior to the crashes.
Things I've tried without any hint of success:
- Updating and changing the OpenGL driver being used (the Mesa `radeonsi` drivers vs. AMDGPU Pro).
- Different JREs namely the default JRE7, JRE8u271, and GraalVM 20.2 (based on 8u262).
- Using different versions of the G1GC `vmparams` mentioned in the Unofficial Discord vs. the vanilla version
which only has the heap size altered to cater for my heavily modded run.
- Trying the more up-to-date version of XStream 1.4.16 vs. 1.4.10.
- I figured since most of my problems were during save and load that the serialisation library being used
was at fault but this doesn't seem to be the case.
- Loading backups of the save at earlier points in the game.
Observations
- No incriminating mods installed e.g. Beyond The Sector.
- No red flags in the StarSector logs (the core dump is largely incomprehensible to me;
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/troubleshoot/crashes001.html helps only so much).
- From a rudimentary glance of the core dump I initially thought `libc` was the issue
since `free()` is a standard C function however there has been no recent updates
according to https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/glibc/ so I doubt the bug is there.
If I had to guess it would be that StarSector is passing some address to the JVM
which the JVM tries to free only to find out there's nothing there. But why isn't is being detected in the first place...?
e.g. of end portion of game logs (note lack of error messages): https://ghostbin.com/WAEHX/starsector
e.g. of a following core dump: https://ghostbin.com/QjT01/starsector
More core dumps with varying launch parameters but same errors: https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZOdTJVZSqNVSBeoQkLmiSfC8LGxt0bjJMuy
Mod list (all are up-to-date except UNGP which is one minor version behind):

EDIT: I've given up on fixing the problem.
Hopefully on my next playthrough the list of suspect mods I've disabled means that I won't encounter the issue again.
Consequently my issue can be considered to be closed.
