0.3.1 and Debug Servers

[Ingrater]

~SJ~ Xarg we don't have access to the renderer code of the engine (we don't really have access to anything of the engine...) So it won't help if you would run our debugging dll's because it would not provide any usefull information if it is a crash related to the renderer. Try different graphics card drivers maybe one is more stable with crysis then an other.

What about crashes unrelated to the renderer?

[Ingrater]

We only can fix crashes that are in our part of the game code. Unfortunately all of the remaining crashes seem to be engine related and might vansih with the port to wars.

That doesn't sound very reassuring. I've tried all the tips on this forum and my system runs all other games and even Crysis just fine. Yet I'm crashing left and right in MWLL and you're telling me you can't do anything?

[Ingrater]

Yes I do, for example the cryengine was nerver designed for legs with more than 1 knee joint, what is causing the regular crashes with the novacat. And that is only one example. No one did things like we do with the cryengine yet, so we often hit heavly untested code. But if you have better knowdelge then me about c++ and the cryengine feel free to join the team and fix all the bugs.

Ok, I understand. I see you're doing your best and I appreciate it!

But I won't be helping you. The truth is, I know nothing of the cryengine. But I do wish I could fix all the bugs, especially the nova cat!

btw, we just managed to crash the MWLL debug server about an hour ago!

Actually it was computer blue screening, not the server crashing.  Been too lazy to figure if its related to my overclock since it happens so infrequently.

You gotta be kidding

Why would you even overclock a server?! That's just asking for trouble

Did any of the Debug Servers crash at all since you put them up?^^'

[Ingrater]

The A.I. Debug server did not crash once yet.

We are working on the issues, but as Ingrater has already said we are pushing the boundaries of what CryEngine2 can do.  There are known crashes from cryanimation.dll that we cannot do anything about (directly) due to that code being unavailable to us in the modSDK.  We therefore have to write code "around" those issues and blackbox test to circumvent the error.  This is incredibly time consuming and exceeds any effort for mod development I've ever seen before.
 
I can guarantee my opinion is skewed, but in my view MWLL as a mod is much more of a game than many AAA released titles, and done entirely by volunteer effort.

true.
