Oolite randomly crashes and returns to desktop

[Gareth3377]

Firstly, fantastic game with some great mods - this is the best space game I've played since the original. However, I do have a slight problem - basically the game will just close down and return me to the windows desktop - this can happen at any point during flight sequences in the game. When you are docked the game is very stable. I have searched the boards for an answer, but not joy.

A number of things have occurred to me - is there a limit to how many OXPs you should have in the AddOns folder? I have quite a few...

Do any of the OXPs clash with each other?

I am running version 1.65 of Oolite on:
Win XP Service Pack 2
Athlon64 3000
GeForce 6800GT 256MB RAM (have installed the latest drivers)
1 Gig system Ram

Going to try to play again and check the crash report if it happens again.

Thanks in advance.

Right - I think I have located the problem and it would be interesting to see if any other PC users of Oolite have encountered it. It seems that the Boomslang oxp creates a number of errors according to the stderr log. I have removed this oxp and the game has been fairly stable (with the exception of one or two slowdowns).

Keep you posted.

Welcome Gareth!

I too had random transfers to "Mr. Dialtone" with Oolite. I was informed that Oolite is memory hungry to begin with and DOES NOT like to use the Windows page file. I have also found that version 1.65tp5 to be much more stable. The TP5 refers to "textured planets." The planets are phenominal! Let me know if you want this version and cannot find it (mine was e-mailed to me).

Cheers,

Yes please - have seen the screenshots for the textured planets version and they look awesome. One thing though - I'm assuming that my current savegame will be compatible?

Many thanks

Gareth

Hi Gareth,

Here is a screen shot on my approach to Zaonce. Just PM me with your email address and I will forward the message I received from Charlie (it includes the very simple instructions). All saves are saved, you just copy a new oolite.exe and planet.plist.

Have installed the new texture pack and the planets look ace. However - I am still have the same problem - I keep getting dumped to the desktop. Looking at the stderr file it says virtual memory exhausted.

Now looking at other posts I've been told that virtual memory is bad for Oolite.

I exit all unnecessary applications and even with 1 gig of memory I still have the same problem.

Perhaps I have too many OXPs installed.

I really love this game (and the missus hates it - she hasn't seen me all weekend heh heh) and have tasted it's brilliance.

Any suggestions?

This is the latest stderr log (sorry for the length)

Hmm, all those '...does not contain a dictionary' errors sound like some of the files in various .oxp's are damaged in some way, try taking these .oxp's out (you can just cut and paste them out of the AddOns folder into another temporary folder):-

Llama.oxp
Swift.oxp
Condor.oxp
Falcon.oxp
Firewasp.oxp
Pallas.oxp
nuke.oxp
boyracers.oxp
fsr.oxp
Orb.oxp

and see if it's any more stable and if it is try re-downloading those .oxp's again? any errors when you unzip them?

[DaddyHoggy]

Can I also suggest that if you haven't downloaded YOUR_AD_HERE in the last two weeks or so that you redownload that too - as Doc recently changed it so that its a lot more playable (100 Ads but no more Anaconda's and different Pi-42 set up).

If you have recently downloaded it then I'd go with Griff that a lot of your oxps are having issues and they should be the first to go (you may be lucky that there may be more recent versions around to download or the original authors may be around and can/will fix).

My missus also claims widow status - although she's slightly perplexed that I'm not actually playing the game but living on the BB and fiddling with graphics "and stuff"

[TGHC]

I would suggest taking out all the OXP's first and see how it runs, if it's still unstable, uninstall and do a clean reinstall. If it is stable add the OXP's back one at a time.

If that doesn't help you need some proper advice!

Good luck.

[DaddyHoggy]

@TGHC - that was proper advice! and very sensible it was too - you just meant "more technical advice"

[Dr. Nil]

It looks like your PC particularly doesn't like Charlie's add ons

Perhaps there's been some sort of error while downloading them.

[Gareth3377]

Thanks guys - I will do as suggested and report back.

Can't spend too much time on Oolite - have lessons to plan and books to mark.

I must see some of the missus as well...

The guilt wears off eventually, occassionally they'll even bring you a cup of tea just so they can try and remember what you look like and attempt to engage in conversation while you're trying to beat off the remains of a pirate cove (foolishly )

Mine however, got my full attention today and got herself taken to hospital (pregancy and asthma is not a great combination) - she's home now but I'm a bit to frazzled to sleep...

[Gareth3377]

Well, the game seems to be stable (at last!!). Have just read Status Quo - really good.

Might play the game some time lol.

[Gareth3377]

First the good news - the game is stable for the moment - have been playing it for an hour or so and no crashes (except me failing to dock).

Bad new - it looks like those OXPs suggested were to blame. I tried dropping one of them in to the AddOns folder and low and behold the game crashed and returned me to the desktop. Upon removing the offending OXP the game was stable again. I'm quite gutted because I really liked those OXPs (especially the Condor OXP and the Orb OXP looked really interesting). Nevertheless I'm playing with about 95% of the OXPs and at least I can play (badly) so beggars can't be choosers, I guess.

The one thing I haven't done yet is change the HUD - can't bring myself to do it yet - too much nostalgia hanging on to the original one!
