2.3 beta 13 is released!

[Buginator]

We would like to thank all the testers of 2.3 beta 12a for helping us find the "legs" bug.
Karma points go out to Safety0ff for the fix.

In this release, we have changed the write directory for warzone's crash report file (warzone2100.rpt [windows only]) and the logging file (WZlog*.txt), to obey window's vista & win 7 UAC restrictions.
All our files will now be written to <config-dir>/logs.
On windows: C:\Users\user name\Documents\warzone2100\logs
On linux: ~/.warzone2100-2.3/logs
On mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Warzone 2100 2.3/logs

The stderr file is called WZlog-MMDD_HHMMSS.txt (M=month, D=day, H=hour, M=min, and S=sec)


As usual, this beta brings in more fixes, and some balance changes.

Thanks again for testing!


Bug Reports:
As usual, we need bug reports to fix problems in the game. Please note that we use tickets only to track bugs, for discussions about how features should work and feature requests we have a dedicated forum section.

For bug reports, see BugReporting for details, in short:

• Search the existing tickets for your problem, if the problem has already been fixed in SVN, the ticket will be closed.
• If there is an open one already, feel free to add more info to it.
• If there is no report yet, make a new ticket.
• Be as detailed as possible in both summary and description, and either log in with your forum account or leave an email address so we can contact you if we need more information.
• The more information we have, the easier it is to fix problems, so include savegames/instructions to reproduce the bug, crashdumps, backtraces, screenshots for graphical problems... if you have.
• When you attach files to a ticket, please add each text/image file separately and uncompressed, so we can view them easily in trac (savegames can and should be zipped, they consist of name.gam, possibly name.es, and the files in the name/ folder).

Download:
As usual, downloads can be found on our download page.

[Crymson]

Ahh, you didn't add the console kick command.

Other than that, no crashes so far.

[Killar]

lol, /kick Crymson Gyn

[kringled]

I can confirm that the campaign transitions bug seems to be fixed for me with this.

[Saberuneko]

I cannot host MP games in this new beta! Warzone just closes giving no error.

Huh? There wasn't any real changes in that area of the code.
What OS?
What do the logs show?
Try again with --debug net, and post the logs.

[andron]

has the beta the new graphics from the trunk or still the old (original)?

[Emdek]

has the beta the new graphics from the trunk or still the old (original)?

Old.

[themac]

The old bug is still present where Warzone crashes to desktop suddenly. It takes an hour or more until this happens. Sometimes it helps to load an older savegame again, but if the savegame is too close at the timepoint of crash, the game seems to do the same thing again and again that causes the crash. If the time point is not too close, the game does different things and the crash does not occur again at the time point where expected (but later then...)

As far as I know, that's caused by overheating. The only solution is to close other programs, or buy a newer computer.

[Saberuneko]

Overheating??? My computer is arround ONE month old and crash to desktop happens!! I couldn't say anything against that before, because my computer was an old one... But this time, I won't accept a "buy a newer computer"...

If you need any more info, ask me for it. Another weird thing... There's no log for that MP, not even near the date I tried to host it...

What I don't understand, this didn't happen with the B12... Why does it happen with B13?

[Zarel]

Well... do you have a crash report? I'm just guessing "overheating" because I don't have a crash report.

Also: Your new computer has a pretty terrible processor. If you really got it a month ago, you got ripped off. That processor was considered low-end like several years ago; it's like five generations behind. I bet they probably used cheap parts for the rest of the computer, too.

[Michal]

I just hosted a MP game, and WZ crashed to desktop on loading screen - after all players clicked 'ready'. In room there were only Michal(host), Python, MARCEL. The other nicks you can see are players who joined and left ('player x has left the game') Map was Sk-UrbanChaos-T2.

RPT has something like this - hope it helps, callstack is quite long...

Well... do you have a crash report? I'm just guessing "overheating" because I don't have a crash report.

Also: Your new computer has a pretty terrible processor. If you really got it a month ago, you got ripped off. That processor was considered low-end like several years ago; it's like five generations behind. I bet they probably used cheap parts for the rest of the computer, too.

<offended_mode>I knew that the processor was terrible, in fact it's the first thing I asked about before buying... Anyway, I had to sustitute a PC with burnt-out motherboard, with any other good/cheap offer... The best computer they had wasn't very much better than this one, and had deorbited price... (Computers are ALWAYS some generations behind in this country... Just don't blame me about it...)</offended_mode>

Now going back to topic, I cannot give you any report/whatever because WZ just CLOSES without giving any error, just CLOSES, and there's nothing on the log, since it just closes few seconds after clicking the host button on the MP game screen.

If you don't believe me, I'll record the situation using camcasia studio or whatever...

[cybersphinx]

Have you noticed the changed location for crashdumps etc.?
