Summary0000683: Hexen crashes at startup
DescriptionIt gets a stack overflow right when you start booting up Hexen. The cause of it is FMOD 4.24.16. You can temporarily fix it by using a newer FMOD but will give warnings about Skulltag being compiled under old. Newer FMOD revisions start at ZDoom r1709 through 1750 I believe.

We should start upgraded skulltag to newer zdoom revisions.

Currently Skulltag only supports FMod Ex 4.24.XX. With that version you should have no problems.

> We should start upgraded skulltag to newer zdoom revisions.

I will definitely not upgrade the whole ZDoom base before the final release of 98e (selected backports aside). Once 98e is out, we can resume updating.

Well, I do have problems. I get a stack overflow on this function: FMOD_RESULT F_CALLBACK SPC_Open(FMOD_CODEC_STATE *codec, FMOD_MODE usermode, FMOD_CREATESOUNDEXINFO *userexinfo).

I tried using 4.24.39 as well.

Does is happen in the beta builds I uploaded? I'm using FMOD Ex 4.24.16.

This is happening in your current builds in your repository.

I guess let me backtrace to where it worked before.

Edit: The Beta Build 3299 works. I'll do some more testing. I'll let you know.

Can you elaborate how to make it crash? I just started a single player Hexen game with my build of revision 3392 and it didn't crash.

I just try to start up Hexen. It crashes at the splash screen. Perhaps I could be building improperly?

Probably my question wasn't precise enough. Do the binaries I built crash for you, e.g. the latest one? If not, this is possibly an FMOD Ex bug (wouldn't be the first I encounter...).

Your binary works. Then that confirms there is something on my end. Any ideas? I guess I could try building under VC++ 2005 instead of 2010 to see if that makes a difference.

Could be the fault of FMOD Ex. Did you try building with the FMOD Ex version I'm using, i.e. 4.24.16?

It should also work with VC++ 2010 (I never tested this though). The only reason I'm still using VC++ 2005 is that binaries built with later versions don't support Win98 anymore.

Yes.

Edit: I just compiled it with VC++ 2005, and I don't get a crash. I'm glad we found the problem, I'm disappointed I will not be able to use 2010.

I would say this has been resolved. This is a problem with FMOD Ex 4.24.xx being compiled under VS2010. Newer versions of FMOD Ex in newer ZDoom revisions "should" compile in VS2010 and run fine.

Seems Hexen is not crashing for me anymore when I build in VS2010. Not sure if it was fixed in code or it was my machine. But no matter, it's not happening to me anymore.
