Runtime error!

[Devinw188]

When I got to exit from building my ship, with "B" or "ESC", the game crashes with the "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!" message, I for the life of me cannot find a way to fix it, I have tried a clean boot to no avail.

 

Any help is appreciated!

Are you using the Steam version or the Website demo? Can you post the client log files? Those are located in your %appdata%\Avorion folder.

Thanks for the quick reply! I'm using the steam version. Here's the log, i believe its the right one:

Hmm. I started a new world and it seems to have stopped. Apologies if I have wasted your time, but thank you

[kagato87]

I encountered the exact same issue, and likewise found that dumping the galaxy and creating a new one fixed it (same settings).

 

After poking through the logs (the last attempt did actually generated a useful line before the CTD) I think I found the problem.

 

Ship names are saved to an XML file with the name of the ship.

The crash appears to be happening when the ship is saved.

Quotation marks in the ship name cause the problem for me consistently.

Quotation marks are also an invalid character for file names...  ;)

 

It's also possible the quotation marks are messing up the parser involved in saving the ship, depending on how you are searching it.

Suggestion:  Parse out characters that would be invalid (in either supported OS) and don't allow them in ship names.

[Devinw188]

That's what I thinking too, my ship name was USS Mr.Sausage, (Long story), but I didn't think the "." would have been an issue. Guess Mr. Sausage won't have it's day to shine just yet.

[kagato87]

The file system (for both platforms) should be able to handle that, suggesting it is the save routine that doesn't like it.

 

I did pop a bug report onto the forum about it.

 

Also, that's an awful lot of puns you put in that one line there...
