Can you compile in debug mode and see if it still crashes? If so, can you post a backtrace of the crash?

I figured out what went wrong, FMODEx 4.24.16 on arch linux causes a memory leak so an upgrade of FMODEx is needed.

I also run Arch, and I'm seeing this issue. It's rendered Zandronum unplayable. :(

Zandronum broke immediately after I did a system upgrade. That's not to suggest that doomjoshuaboy's analysis is wrong here: an upgraded library can absolutely trigger bugs in other code that were latent by pure chance before the upgrade. However, it seems some recent upgrades in Arch broke a *lot* of games — more than just Zandronum, including many Unity games.

There's some discussion on the Arch BBS:

Topic A:'https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=253210 [^]'
Topic B:'https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1889747#p1889747 [^]'

Topic B links to a GitHub issue against alsa-lib:'https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-lib/issues/27 [^]' — my reading of it, and in particular, of this comment:'https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-lib/issues/27#issuecomment-593152336 [^]' and the commit just prior to it, suggest that there might have been a legitimate bug that is either responsible or at least the trigger.

Topic B on the BBS also contained this gem:

> Downgrading alsa-lib (and alsa-utils) to version 1.2.1.2-3 (and 1.2.1-2 respectively) solved the issue.

*Which worked for me!* (Though I can't keep those downgraded forever; however, hopefully a subsequent release of alsa-libs will contain the fix in the bug, and hopefully that version will work, removing the need for downgrading.) Both of those were upgraded on 20 Feb.

The downgrade commands are:

sudo pacman -U'https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/a/alsa-lib/alsa-lib-1.2.1.2-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst [^]'
sudo pacman -U'https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/a/alsa-utils/alsa-utils-1.2.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst [^]'

(N.b. your next normal full upgrade will undo this. Which is good, once fixes come out.)

So, that gets me back into being knee-deep in the dead for the moment. Again, it isn't 100% clear to me if this is a straight-up bug in alsa-lib, or if it triggers bad memory management in other libraries, or some mix of both — I don't mean to contradict any plans to push other fixes. But I thought I'd link in the other posts/topics, since they seem to be helpful.

I can confirm with both Josh's and Thanatos' posts that these both do fix the issue. It's probably better to go with Thanatos' fix until the library itself has been fixed.

As of recent 3.1 builds, Zandronum is compiled with FMOD 4.44.64 which no longer exhibits this issue.

A workaround for 3.0 is to start with -nosound and set output type to SDL, then restart the game normally.

I'm going to re-open this ticket and then re-close it as resolved as this did indeed require a change, as 3.1 builds are now compiled with a newer FMOD Ex and the source code had to be updated to support this.
