Crashing on startup (console log included)

[Ramiel Yashima]

First of all I read all the stickies and searched for this type of problem and didn't find anything.

OK so I am running PlaneShift on Mac OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan and I have it installed in the recommended location (/Applications/PlaneShift) and gave it the proper permissions (read & write for both my own account and the admin account).

The launcher works except for the Launch button, I had no problems with using it to configure stuff. Aside from the Launch button it works great.

The client is a lot more crash-prone. I tried character creation a couple times and sometimes during character creation if I clicked on the wrong thing it would crash (clicking on a right or left arrow on things that would affect the appearance of the new character, for certain races but not others, I don't remember exactly which ones).

Anyway I got past that and successfully created a character with the same name as my forum account, Ramiel Yashima (not a real name, it is for roleplaying, yes I read about the guidelines for names and roleplaying, the name is based on something else in a different fictional setting which you can Google if you want but it seems like a perfectly good name for a fantasy/medieval setting to me). Ramiel Yashima is a turquoise Kran, with no gender since Krans have no gender, and I chose the Warlock path.

So I successfully installed the game, configured it using the launcher, created a PlaneShift account, created a PlaneShift forums account, and created a character, yay, I should be all set to play the game right?

Well now I can get into the game but it crashes a fraction of a second after I get into the actual game after choosing my character that I already created and after it finishes loading. It crashes the same way every single time. Oh and my Mac is a MacBook 13-inch Aluminum Late 2008. Processor is 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Memory is 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3. Graphics is NVIDIA 9400M with 256 MB video memory. Display resolution is 1280x800. Instead of a hard disk it has a 128 MB SSD drive acting like a hard disk, very fast. And again Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan is the OS. My MacBook doesn't quite meet the system requirements for macOS 10.12 Sierra, if it were one year newer it would, but still it is a pretty decent machine and most software works great, the video card works for other programs, audio, wifi, everything works fine on it, nothing broken at all.

I read all about how to do a console log on the site and forums. So anyway here is the console log from running the game client with logging enabled from the terminal (I use iTerm2 as my terminal instead of Terminal.app, it's even better than Terminal.app).

NOTIFY: PSLoader: step 6: success
Segmentation fault: 11
OK so that was the log. Now from what I know about programming a segmentation fault is a serious big deal that crashes a program so the Segmentation Fault: 11 in the last line is when it finally crashed. And by that time everything for the game had appeared on the screen after choosing my character and going thru the loading screen but the game itself had only been on the screen for about half a second maybe, with some tutorial messages I think briefly being on the screen before the whole thing crashed, and all sorts of nice 3D stuff including seeing my character, this turquoise person made of rocks, in this interesting 3D virtual world for a tiny little fraction of a second. That spell-checker error came up again and again and again in the log, I wonder if that is the cause of the problem. Anyway hopefully one of the devs can figure out what is going on here, all of the graphics card errors I read about pertained to Intel or ATI graphics and mine is NVIDIA so I doubt that is the problem, this is probably a Mac OS X specific error so I am posting in the Mac OS X issues forum. And yes I have the latest version, just downloaded it yesterday and it actually had some updates that the updater did (the updater that is part of the launcher) and I cleared the shader cache too using the launcher. I also tried the Repair button but that seemed to want to install some Microsoft Windows-specific files so I changed my mind and canceled doing that since this is not Microsoft Windows. Anyway the whole reason I downloaded and ran this is I did an online search for best open-source games and it listed 2 MMORPGs in that category and the other one doesn't even have a Mac OS X version but yours does. So you should be proud your game is listed as being one of the best games even if it has bugs, hopefully this bug can be fixed too, I look forward to actually playing the game since I've gone thru the trouble of everything all the way thru character creation and it works fairly well up to that point (other than the minor bugs I mentioned earlier before the console log). I even used the code tag so that the console log is enclosed in this thing showing it is code and allowing it to be copied easily.

Thanks for the help! I look forward to playing this game soon once we figure out what went wrong here... I have a little bit of debugging skill but not too much, hopefully you can consider this as an official bug report, I don't quite know where to submit bug reports for this project but this forum seems like a good place. Please reply if you have any questions or suggestions or solutions or are experiencing the same kind of problem (game client crashing after you login and choose your character and the game loads, a fraction of a second after the game itself appears on the screen). Like if you want me to edit some config file to chance something I can do that.

Oh right and my client version is 0.6.5 and launcher version is 3.07 according to the launcher. But according to the client it is version 0.6.3 Azure Spirit. Those versions of 0.6.3 (from the client, about the client version) and 0.6.5 (from the launcher, about the client version) don't match, maybe that is a problem. Or maybe I gave you too much information. Sorry if I did that.

Oh right, and the crash itself happens in between the last 2 lines in the console log, in between "NOTIFY: PSLoader: step 6: success" and "Segmentation fault: 11", i.e., that 2nd to last line appears simultaneously with the game world being fully loaded and appearing on screen, then the last line appears simultaneously a fraction of a second later when the game crashes. At least that's how it went a couple time in a row with basically the same console log as above. But then it crashed the same way with a little bit more info in between those 2 lines, which all comes out at once when it crashes. So maybe this 2nd console log will be more helpful.

Segmentation fault: 11
Yeah, most of those times those lines in between the PSLoader success 6 and Segmentation fault 11 don't appear but they did the last time I tried (I did it 4 times in a row with logging on). Anyway, that's all the info about this bug I have for now! Hope I gave you enough info to work with! Thanks, I think this is probably going to be a great game if I can ever get it to work!

I read about half way through. I'm not a mac person so i can't offer much, but I did notice that you said your video card/accelerator has 256MB of video ram. For PCs, that's too low and would cause the game to crash - especially when entering a texture rich area like the main city (Hydlaa). I'm guessing it might be the same for macs.

Have you tried turning down the graphics settings to see if you can get it to run on the lowest possible settings? Some things like shadows, anti-aliasing, loading all maps, loading all textures, etc... (I forgot what settings are there) might help to reduce the amount of video ram being used. I struggled with doing this on an old PC laptop a few years ago and eventually gave up and just bought a cheap $500 PC from Bestbuy. It actually ran much better on that and with nothing but the cpu's on-chip gpu.

It actually ran much better on that and with nothing but the cpu's on-chip gpu.

Just tried turning all of that off... didn't have any effect, it still crashes exactly the same way if I turned graphics settings to minimum including disabling anything fancy, turning off anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering, turning off grass, texture quality and shaders at low, particles at medium (doesn't have low), changing background loading from models to off, basically all at minimum or off. Weather, shadows, bloom, HDR, loader cache, and VBO were already off by default and I never had them on. Still crashes at same place, after loading client, logging in, choosing the character I created, and then right after game is loaded and I am in the game world for maybe half a second.

I think it is probably a Mac-specific bug, otherwise I'd post in the forum on bugs that crash the game when loading. I have read about lack of Macs among developers of this game, a fairly common problem which is why there is a dearth of quality open-source software for Macs despite them being BSD UNIX-based, and a whole lot of open-source games have trouble working on Macs, this is a super-common problem, part of why Macs are considered a terrible platform for gaming by most gamers, another reason being the 1-button trackpads and mice on Macs and of course the issue that Mac OS X only runs on Apple hardware which is expensive. Still I would like to be able to play good free open-source games on my Mac and help out in debugging this if I can.

I just tried disabling sound in the launcher. Now the game no longer has sound. But it works! I can play it now! Just no audio. Apparently the audio was what was making it crash. It was set to use Software before which supposedly uses Apple's CoreAudio in Mac OS X. I guess maybe something is wrong with that? Anyway with sound disabled the game works, but I am going to try and find a way to get the game to work WITH sound on. But at least I can play now!! I wonder whether I should try the OpenAL for audio instead, supposedly it doesn't work on Mac OS X but maybe I will try it anyway. I'll report back if I figure out anything new.

[Ramiel Yashima]

UPDATE: I fixed the problem completely and now have a working game with sound! If I use the launcher to set the audio to OpenAL instead of Software, then the game has working sound and it works perfectly.

Anyway I figured out how to solve this on my own but hopefully this might be helpful to other people if they have the same issue on Mac OS X. If it crashes on the game loading try disabling the sound and try setting sound to both Software and OpenAL, for me OpenAL works perfectly while Software crashes the game every single time. So yeah this issue is resolved but it turned out to be the opposite of something I had read in one of the stickies or something saying that OpenAL has problems and to use Software instead, actually for me it is the exact opposite and OpenAL works perfectly while Software crashes the game. So yeah it's an interesting game so far, anyway if anyone else has this problem on Mac OS X try changing audio from Software to OpenAL, that's what fixed it for me.

Nice.

I should have mentioned before, If you have a hard time getting in touch with someone via the forums, you may have better luck getting a hold of someone via IRC  ( freenode.net, #planeshift  or  #planeshift-dev )

Have fun!
