Author Topic: BL crash  (Read 1995 times)

Well, I was doing some work on my Planets map and BL crashed.

Attached is a screenshot.

Any ideas what caused it?

Sorry, forgot to mention that I have been getting "buffer" errors for ages now, even before I made the map. Sometimes it says that "a bitmap has been deleted during gameplay".

Anyway, I can't tab out of game and go back in because it crashes like that.


Theres the console log.

I get buffer overruns too.
It usually happens when I end up joining a few servers, then decide to start my own, or running a single player server, then going to a multiplayer...
Next time I get it, I'll post a console.log.

I've been getting that too(The crashing when alt tab).  It's only been recently though.

Ya, its really annoying because it means I have to keep restarting BL everytime I tab out.

I'm not sure but I think the problems started after the latest update.

You can't have spaces in an object name.

Well i just got this...whats up badspot?

 net name = Badspot
AUTHCHECK: 12153
    Internet client connecting to internet server, regular authentication
 Authentication Failed for Badspot (70.51.52.230).
Issuing Disconnect packet.
ERROR: GameConnection::onClientLeaveGame() - Client "Badspot" has no brick group.
CDROP: 12153 IP:70.51.52.230:60266

what does it mean that you have no brick group?

You cant alt tab, BS will fix it he said.

Someone was trying to impersonate me.  Their authentication check failed (because they are not me) and they were immediately rejected.  The "Client has no brick group" error message is shown because their brick group was never created since they never fully connected.  It's a bug.  But hey, at least it detects that the brick group is missing instead of trying to delete something that isn't there. 

ok cuz it just happened again...is someone trying to hack us?

It happens like 50 times a day on my server.  Just ignore it. 

y'know, I thought everyone's "default" net name was "Badspot"...
Back when I had demo, I looked at my saved avatars in code form, under net name it had "Badspot".
I changed that, but, I find that weird IMHO.

So the crashing on alt-tab error is being fixed?

Also, I will be more careful with the spaces. :)
