Ok, that’s a good start: crash in OpenGL driver, so probably related to the code changes in OpenGL backend in Gideros. It would be nice to get a full stack trace though

@hgy29 Tried to recreate the issue making a new project but everything works as it should. I will try with bigger sprite sheets, animations and events and see what happens. In my game though the problem persists. In my previous game where I used sepperate images instead of spite sheets it loads fine with no problems.

I will try to trigger it with my own projects, meanwhile I think you already used QtCreator, can you try to make it crash under debugger on your side ?

I installed Qt and all and managed to build Gideros Studio

Now the question is: how do I run Gideros in Qt Creator to make the Player crash to have some logs?

~~I opened C:\dev\gideros_dev202406\ui\ui.pro in QtCreator but I don't think that's the one I should be opening~~ Oh that worked!

... but I cannot start the Player, when I click "start local player" nothing happens. The other icons work fine (Color Picker, export, ...)

I will try to build Gideros Debug from Qt.

You need to run player/player.pro. If your project needs some plugins, you may have to compile them from their respective .pro files (they are all in plugins folder, either directly under each plugin source subdirectory or inside source/Desktop). Then gather all dlls built for the plugins and put them in Plugins subdirectory of the newly built player

EDIT: didn't compile

I need to link Scintilla and Lexilla somewhere

after enabling git.exe in Qt Creator I have now these issues:

EDIT EDIT: I didn't see hgy29 response in between my posts

I will try building the Player.pro and report back God's willing!

MoKaLux · June 9

Ok I can run the Player from Qt (not in debug mode, it won't compile) and from there I can test one of my app with this player.

I tested with an almost empty project and the Player doesn't crash at all.

I will try to make it crash and get some logs?

Without any plugins this doesn't crash:

So there must be a plugin that crashes the player on me or as hgy29 said:

The kind of crashes you are getting looks like a crash on stop, usually caused by a delayed event or some objects that can't be deallocated. It is easy to figure out when run under a debugger, but obviously it has to happen.

I can make it crash but in release mode only

not so usefull log from the crash in release mode:

PS2: I tested it with my project beat'em up https://github.com/mokalux/beu_cbump_tecs
PS3: will try to make it crash in debug

MoKaLux · June 10

PS4: nope it doesn't want to crash in debug mode only in release mode

hope this could somehow shed some light on the problem?

I post the log for debug mode but no crash:

some more feedback

Gideros Player doesn't crash on my windows 10

I tried to make it crash but it was happy running every time.

The Gideros Player seems to crash on my windows 11 machine only.

PS: my win10 runs on a 10 years old laptop with an integrated graphics card!

PS2: I am so happy because when I last tried running Gideros on my laptop, I couldn't see a thing on the Gideros Player, the Player was only grey, no image at all, only sounds. Now with latest Gideros 2024.6 (built from GH) the Player is working as expected

I can develop again when I am on the road

MoKaLux · June 11

~~good news Gideros Player doesn't seem to crash no more~~

~~I didn't do anything special except messing with building Gideros stuff, but now I am using official release and so far so good.~~

~~So you can consider this issue closed, sorry for the inconveniences~~

PS: windows 11
PS2: back to using my favorite framework/engine

, all my gratitude to the devs

EDIT: nope it now crashes

MoKaLux · June 12

Please allow me my last update on Gideros Player

- offical Gideros: running my project Player crashes
- GH Gideros build: running my project Player doesn't crash
- a mix of offical Gideros Studio + Player GH build: running my project Player doesn't crash

I tried copying Gideros Player.exe from my GH build to windows Program Files but then the player crashes again.

So what works so far is running official Gideros Studio with my GH Gideros Player, I can run my project and the player doesn't crash at all

I consider my issue fix, sorry for all the inconveniences

PS: I already did a clean install of Gideros but crash still happening
PS2: with Gideros there is always a way

MoKaLux · June 13

EDIT: nope the GH player still crashes but waaayyy less often than official player.

My GH player sometimes crashes when I fiddle with my code for a certain period of time (~5 mins), then run the project => crash

Maybe some things are accumulating (not freed) then the player crashes?

PS: I can live with that

PS2: it also sometimes crashes on pressing Stop in Gideros Studio

MoKaLux · June 16

hello Giderians, please allow me some more feedback to help pinpoint my Gideros Player issue

I think I nailed it: my Players crash everytime there is a bug in my code!!!
Example:

elseif self.copymode == "color" then
	self.partsstyling[self.currentpart].red = self.childrgbacopy.red or 255/255
	self.partsstyling[self.currentpart].green = self.childrgbacopy.greeeeen or 255/255 -- obviously a typo here ;-)
	self.partsstyling[self.currentpart].blue = self.childrgbacopy.blue or 255/255
	self.partsstyling[self.currentpart].alpha = self.childrgbacopy.alpha or 255/255
	self:style()

I think my Players crash on every errors I make while developing my apps/games!?

Hope this can help

@MoKaLux try building a mini project that crashes to share:
ie.

--main.lua
 
 
local mytable = {
		one = 1,
		two = 2 -- comma missing: should crash here
		three = 3
 
		}
 
for i,v in pairs (mytable) do 
	print ("I", i, "V", v)
end

on my player (win10) this crashes with the correct message (main.lua:5: Expected ',' after table constructor element)

MoKaLux · June 17

@pie thanks for the info, unfortunatelly I cannot make it crash with such a simple code.

There is my sample on github which does certainly make the player crash on my windows 11 machine (I haven't tried it on my windows 10 laptop, I will do it asap and report back). Have you tried it on your machine?

https://github.com/mokalux/beu_cbump_tecs

Thank you mister pie

pie · June 17

I tried it now it runs and it didn't crash (I played it until the beginning of stage 2)

MoKaLux · June 17

pie, the issue is when developing the game, you code, you run it, you debug, you run it, the player crashes

It is in the development/debugging phase that the player constantly crashes. It is hard to pinpoint when this happens though (enter frame, bug in the code, player not releasing some refs, ...). Apparently it has something to do with OpenGL.

For example in my github code, if you run, stop, run, stop, ... the code in Gideros Studio, the player will crash (quite quickly on my side).

pie · June 17

I did not do many edits in your code but running and stopping it several times it never crashed on my win 10.
What I did notice though is that the texture memory increases at every level, as if you are not freeing resources:

function monitorMem()
	collectgarbage()
	local mam = math.floor(collectgarbage("count"))
	local texM = application:getTextureMemoryUsage()
	print( "RAM: "..mam.." Kb. \nTexture RAM: "..texM.." Kb"	)
end

put this function somewhere, and call it somewhere like here in your levelX

-- app keys handler
function LevelX:myKeysPressed()
	self:addEventListener(Event.KEY_DOWN, function(e)
		if e.keyCode == KeyCode.ESC then scenemanager:changeScene("menu", 1, transitions[2], easings[2]) end
		if e.keyCode == KeyCode.P then ispaused = not ispaused end
		-- modifier
		local modifier = application:getKeyboardModifiers()
		local alt = (modifier & KeyCode.MODIFIER_ALT) > 0
		-- validate
		if (not alt and e.keyCode == KeyCode.ENTER) then -- print memory!
			monitorMem()
		elseif alt and e.keyCode == KeyCode.ENTER then -- switch full screen
			ismyappfullscreen = not ismyappfullscreen
			application:setFullScreen(ismyappfullscreen)
		end
	end)
end

MoKaLux · June 17

Yes I noticed it too and I am wondering if this code is still (was ever) valid?

collectgarbage()

Now I am using this instead:

--collectgarbage()
collectgarbage("collect")

You may have found something pie, thank you for the feedback, really appreciated
