[0.95a-RC15] Odd save load failure
« on: June 10, 2021, 11:41:31 PM »
UPDATE: See solution in this post

Recently, at least three people on the Discord have experienced an unusual error with a save failing to load.

Sample error:

The stack trace goes through some strange places, to say the least:

Is stuff being loaded out of order (so it tries to sync the player fleet before the industries get their supply fields regenerated)?
Is there a user-side way to fix this?

Hmm - due to some changes to how phase field works, this shouldn't be an issue in the next release.

As far as a user-side fix... I'm not sure. The only thing that comes to mind is replacing the PhaseField hull mod effect with a copy whose onFleetSync() method just doesn't call refreshCharacterStatsEffects(). That method would still get called from other places so the worst you'd get out of this is occasionally slightly incorrect sensor profiles.

I would like to add my +1 to running across this issue randomly, and add my thanks for the fix that you put together, Histidine.  You saved my save!

Update: I've recently found that the error can still occur with the fix mod, from a hullmod that extends the base game's phase field hullmod class.

I think someone needs to figure out which mod is causing the issue. Alex, is it possible to modify starfarer_api (or whichever jar has the relevant code) to log the class name of each object as it's deserialized during the game load process?

Hmm - I *think* the way to go here would be to write a custom
com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.Converter
That doesn't actually want to handle anything, but logs the name of the class about to be converted, since it'll be *asked* if it can handle it. So it'd always return false from canConvert(), but would do the logging there instead.

And then in the ModPlugin.configureXStream() method you'd:
x.registerConverter(new CustomConverter());

The fix worked for me! I was very confused about how a several day old playthrough was suddenly broken. As for the phase hull mods, I'd begin with ship packs that add new phase ships, like Caymon's Ship Pack or High Tech Expansion that adds several phase ships. The only other mod that would come to mind that doesn't necessarily mess with hullmods but adds modifiers is Starship legends, which does have several phase orientated traits.

I'm not really experienced with dissecting and debugging mod errors so I'll leave that to people who do, but I thought that maybe I'd throw in my 2 cents and maybe get the ball rolling. Thanks again for that quick patch, really did me a favor in saving my save.

Found out that the issue is caused by old versions of the Fleet Action History mod (fixed in 1.0.6).

Instructions to rescue existing save, if my fix mod doesn't work.

So, I've just had the Failed Calling Method bug happen to me. You helped out some guy with the same problem as me and it led me to this thread, but your dropbox link doesn't work now. So, I can't really do anything but contact you. Could you please help me out?
