[Linux] Game crash when shooting

shokks · October 2013

Hi ! i'm here because each time I use a fire weapon, the game crash without any error messages in log !
I don't have any mods, and I'm using Linux version Build 257. I tried to change graphic options, and I'm using medium textures but nothing changes.
So, I don't know what more informations I can give you except some lines like that in my log :
Error: Sound 'sound/NS2.fev/alien/voiceovers/chuckle_female' couldn't be loaded (Event not found)
and
WARNING: Corrected case of '/mnt/sdb/Shokks/Steam/SteamApps/common/Natural Selection 2/ns2/models/marine/Dropship/dropship1.material'
Thanks

Got alot better bugs - you want this?

Or this one! This should be refinery!

shokks · October 2013

WTF is that ?

But my problem make my game unplayable at all.. !

rkfg · October 2013

Try getting a backtrace as described here. Linux build is very unstable as of now, wait until Thursday, devs promised to release 258 which addresses those and some other issues. I've got crashes on firing, entering the gorge tunnel and just midgame for no reason.

Confused · October 2013

hey guys this should be fixed in 258 which just came out.

so should the textures note loading because you alt tabbed bug too.

Let me know if you see anything else

shokks · October 2013

Hi ! Build 258 didn't fixed it..
Here is my dmesg lines :
[78766.812741] ns2_linux32[18221]: segfault at 0 ip 00000000f16eed37 sp 00000000fff05640 error 4 in libnvidia-glcore.so.325.15[f01d4000+2070000]

But I didn't found how to make a backtrace ...

Confused · October 2013

Can you post the output from sysinfo or like like for your system as well as teh contents of the log file in ~/.config/Natural Selection 2/log.txt

shokks · October 2013

Here is my log.txt file
http://pastie.org/8404559

My configuration is a GTX 660 with a I5-750 and 5Gb of RAM.

Confused · October 2013

I am actually more interested in the version of the drivers and on what distro you are running:)

So you start up the tutorial, and then it crashes at the first time you shoot is what the log looks like. is that basically what is happening?

shokks · October 2013

Oh sorry ! I'm using ArchLinux with the kernel 3.11.5-1-ARCH
And my nvidia-proprietary drivers are 325.15-10

Yes ! It's exactly what's happend.. However I can use the "body weapons"

Thanks

herrsheimer · October 2013

Now I have the same issue with b258, and it didnt happen in b257 for me.

IronHorse · October 2013

Where'd you get those proprietary drivers shokks?

shokks · October 2013

I found it on the Archlinux depot ( https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=nvidia ) but I think that I will try soon those beta nvidia drivers if they are the sources of the troubles https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-beta

Vantskruv · October 2013

Have the same problem too, whenever trying to shoot the game crashes, and the log in "~/.config/Natural Selection 2/log.txt" doesn't tell me anything interesting.

Reporting from Linux Mint 14 64 bit with Nvidia 331.13 Open Source Drivers.

shokks · October 2013

Same problem with beta drivers :
In DMESG :

and log.txt http://pastie.org/8406988
For those who want to try, on archlinux, install nvidia-full-beta and in the PKGBUILD, change lib32 variable from 0 to 1 to make it work with steam

IronHorse · October 2013

Forwarding this to the devs.
Thanks.
Any further info you can gather will help. (you can run -verbose in steam launch options to gather more data/errors)

shokks · October 2013

Thanks

Keep us in the loop about the devs's answer !
EDIT : Nothing more with -verbose or -console option in steam

akling · October 2013

Same here: NS2 Build 258 crashes on the first shot in the tutorial.
I have cleaned the cache in ~/.config/Natural Selection 2/cache
Previous Builds ran fine on the same machine.
steam runs with:
export LC_ALL=C

In a linux environment, its a bad idea to name a directory "core" because this prevents in most cases the generation of a core file, which has usually the same name.

Vantskruv · October 2013

Tried running with the nvidia-current driver instead (for now version 304.88 propieraty).

Edit: The game crashes when shooting. Testing this in bot-training as marine.

Log file attached.

IronHorse · October 2013

Can you guys test out the WHQL versions if applicable? (have clue how that works in linux)

shokks · October 2013

Mhhh WHQL versions are microsoft certified..
Windows doesn't certifiate Linux versions.. ?? http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/WHQL_Testing

But I didn't found how to make a backtrace ...

ulimit -c unlimited, then start the game (probably manually from CLI); it should create a core dump on crash. (If you want to permanetly enable coredumps, you'll have to edit /etc/security/limits.conf )

As for the trace, just install gdb and run it with the coredump and path to the game executable, then run backtrace in the GDB prompt.

I think alternatively you can also start GDB, attach it to the process and then do that if it crashed or start GDB and run ns2 from GDB.

B166ERDK · October 2013

I am having this bug too, everything works fine until i shoot with my main gun as a marine, and then the game crashes and in my console it just says Segmentation fault..

This is on Linux Mint 15 64Bit
My GPU is a Nvidia 650

I have tested this with the Nvida 325 and 331 driver and both crash when shooting.

And this is on build 258 of NS2.

shokks · October 2013

B166ERDK, how do you launch the game ? With steam steam://rungameid/4920 ?
If you have a segmentation fault, you should get a core dump file in you directory if you launch the command "ulimit -c unlimited" before the game.

I don't have any core dump, even after "ulimit -c unlimited", probably because I don't have any Segmentation fault in my console when I run the command ! Omega_K2, do you know if there are others possiblity to have a backtrace ?

Thanks !

Make sure you run the game in the same shell you've executed the command in, otherwise it will use the default (which is 0 - i..e no dumps). Or try setting it in limits.conf and reboot.

shokks · October 2013

I well executed the command in the same shell, but always the same.
I add these lines to my limits.conf :
shom - core unlimited
root - core unlimited
But I doesn't have any core or other new files in my directory
As I'm using systemd, I tried to launch "systemd-coredumpctl"
But I have "No coredumps found"

The strange thing is that I don't have any "Segmentation Fault". Are you using this command "steam steam://rungameid/4920" to launch the game too ?
And I'm unable to use the steam-runtime because there aren't any install script for Archlinux

Confused · October 2013

So, the easy way to get a backtrace, sans dump is gdb.

run the game.
open up a console.
find the ns2 pid

$ps -e |grep ns2_

run gdb

$gdb
(gdb)attach 123435
(gdb)cont

You probably will have to run gdb as root (sudo gdb)

Once you get that backtrace please post that and your log. from the time you get the crash and we will see what can be seen.

As, always it would be super nice if you made sure you have no running mods when you have the crash.

shokks · October 2013

Here is my backtrace http://pastie.org/8421471
And my log.txt http://pastie.org/8421476
And i'm sure I have no anny running mods !

Confused · October 2013

So, it looks like it is exiting cleanly, with no crash.

The log as you no doubt noticed is also clean.

Super weird.

No sure what to ask about next, Since you are all crashing in the training mode I am going to assume that you don't have custom binds.

Does it crash on firing in a non bots game?

Can you post the contents of ~/.config/Natural Selection 2/system_options.xml and /mnt/sdb/Martin/Steam/userdata/43232187/4920/remote/options.xml?

edit: also, can you try with -verbose as a startup option in steam? and see if there is anything at the end of the log that looks interesting

B166ERDK · October 2013

Okay here we go.

Btw I'm not an expert at this kind of stuff but hope i got something you can use..

And when you say post your log. I was not sure what log you meant or where it was located, so I am just gonna post the log from Steam..
Edit: can't it's to long and it just says it got a Segmentation fault, no real info anyway.

The only thing I did in this test was launch a sandbox (no mods) join the marines and try to fire my gun..

Output from gdb:
