[0.90.11 x64] (CTD) Multi-Zone Walls

[Tydeus]

As suggested in the subject, I believe placing walls which span across two zones (specifically Okran's Gulf and the Border Zone in this case) causes a hard crash which leaves no dumpfile. Both error.log and crashhunter.log have a tremendous number of repeats of the following "PROBLEM - recalculateWorldAABB: Makeshift Wall."

Here is the URL for the 7z of my most recent save: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/248 ... tosave2.7z

Further (minor) information:

Initially I placed a large number of walls around my settlement then went about slowly building them while I had most of my units mining/researching. Once I noticed the crashes, I immediately suspected the walls (due to the shear number of them). Upon removing them (even though perhaps only 10% had actually been built), I noticed the crashes went away. Slowly I started rebuilding my walls and as I did this, I began to notice that I would only crash when I tried to connect the north and south sides of my settlement (which is built around the edge of a small mountain range). Noting that I would occasionally see "Okran's Gulf" and "Border Zone" displayed across my screen when switching between the two sides, I decided to send one unit around the base prospecting so that I could get an idea of where the borders actually were.

As there is no crashdump I can provide, with the auto save you can see from the south section of the settlement that the eastern part of my walls end just before the zone switch and the western walls overlap. Thus to reproduce the bug one could simply load the save, wait for a CTD (less than 5 minutes), then load the save, delete the walls spanning across Okran's Gulf and Border Zone, then note the disappearance of the CTD.

Let me know if there is anything else I can provide or if clarification is necessary.

Thanks

So you are able to play 90.11 without it crashing every 2-3 minutes?

Mine crashes on looting any animal (or when an npc loots another npc), so basically every couple of minutes. Even if I avoid area's with NPC's and just mine a rock in the middle of nowhere (with npc zone set to smallest zone) it crashes after about 15 minutes.

Sometimes it even crashes on the 'new character' screen.

Always a CTD. (no dumps).

Was wondering what your settings are set too, maybe I can reduce crashes to every 20 minutes or so and just quicksave constantly.

[Tydeus]

For the most part, yes I am. at around 90.5/6 most of my crashing went away until this point, and I have covered the entire map nearly twice over(I simply couldn't find a great place to build a settlement, for some reason you can't farm -anywhere- in the north west zones).

As to the settings, they fluctuate somewhat.

I have a Radeon R9 390 8GB, 4770K but only 8 GB RAM. Default NPC sizes, 1080p res, default graphics settings with the exception of grass view range, density and foliage view range which are all roughly 1/2 the default values. Texture quality on mega-high, Water reflection on Everything, CSM 2K shadows, 4K shadow range.

Looks like we have a 90.12 patch though, so maybe your 90.11 crash issues will be resolved.

Looks like this issue exists in 90.12 as well.

I just received a new CTD but with a crashdump this time and under slightly different circumstances. I can't be sure if this crash is related to my previous posts in this thread, as I did delete all walls spanning across both regions, and it certainly occurred with different symptoms, yet it's still roughly the same save and map location, so perhaps I'm wrong about the walls(I'm doubtful).

Roughly 30 seconds to 1 minute before the crash a song began playing and I immediately noticed two things about it. One, there was crackling and two, the volume slowly started to get louder and louder(I had to remove my headphones). Because of this, as well as the fact that after deleting the supposed problematic walls, I was able to continue playing longer than usual(Again, I've crashed at roughly the same spot about 15 times now.)

Here's the dump: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/248 ... 12_x64.zip
