Hey, are you that proolix guy who shares out ccx mods on github?

Hi!

Yes, I have the same Prool

I using gdb and found shutdown crash in file utils.c in line:

{ for (k = ch->master->followers; k->next->follower != ch; k = k->next);

And I make very dirty hack for avoid crash:

if (circle_shutdown==1) return; // before this line

That will most certainly remove the crash. The underlying problem seems to be that ch is not in the followers list of his master. This is an inconsistency in the data that makes no sense...

Thomas,

Is there anything one can do to help find out why ch isn't in the list as is expected? I'd be willing to try out some suggestions as the problem has been a real pain in my backside.

I've also implemented Prool's work-around, but I still get the same errors and fault occurring. I assume that the work-around is supposed to force the game to skip emptying the list when a shutdown has been flagged, but for some reason my copy of the game is still trying to empty the list.

Yes, the work-around is supposed to prevent the code from reaching the point where it crashes.

Since this still happens, I'd start putting in some logging. At least a log line before and after the lines you are told is causing the crash. Trust, but verify...
