[Known] Unity Constantly Crashes when I go into a scene with color cycling dye

1. Title: Unity Constantly Crashes when I go into Maiden's Blush (town)
2. Reproducible? 100% when I enter the town.
3. Blocker? yes unable to access guild town 8(
4. Details: anytime i recall in i get a unity crash
5. Steps to Reproduce: go into the town/city
6. User Specs: (RAM: 32GB 2400 MHz, CPU: AMD 2700, GPU: Vega56 and Operating System: Win11 only)

 

@addrox, how/where are you entering? by what entrance?

 

I tried multiple. Town Crier, Dawn's never inn, market crafting, and maybe one more. It just hits crashes HARD. I use teleport scroll and a few times i just tried to "e" into town.

Just Tried Sky Farm. After teleporting in I moved and looked around and crashed.

 

I'm not getting any crashes on my computer entering here from the World Map. I am seeing 13 warnings upon entering the scene in the debug window. I am using an Nvidia card.

Yeah im one of those AMD fanboys rocking a Vega56 8GB software version: 22.5.1.

 

please run the /bug command in game and post the output here.

 

@addrox Have you tried a repair if using Steam or an uninstall/reinstall if using the non-steam client? Also - It seems you're running Win11; there could be some compatibility issue with the version of Unity the game is using. I haven't dabbled into Win11 yet myself, but in previous versions, you could right-click an executable and go to properties, and then set a compatibility level .. Perhaps you could try doing that on the main executable (not the launcher), "Shroud of the Avatar.exe"? Try setting it to Windows 10, if available?

I dont think i can actually get "in" town and do this ill crash as i enter.

 

Ok. Formatted drive went back to win 10. Reinstalled graphics driver.
While off of windows for a second, I will say Ubuntu everything worked fine. Anyways reinstalled Windows.
Tried both SOTA installer & Steam, no change.
Applied the compatibility mode to run as win8, no change.

Dunno its prob my setup. Dunno. Ugh pain.

 

if it worked fine on ubuntu with the same hardware, then it's not a hardware problem. at least that narrows it down.

 

Good to know. I think it might be some software vs some object or deco that kills me. I remember back in the day I was unable to access crafters town when it was so loaded up front. And I crashed in crafters town every time in and around the dock.

Way back in the day I used to crash at someones house. Inside. So I really think it's some deco item(s) that break something with my software driver etc. Dunno.

Crafters town is different now so I don't cash on the docks like I used to.

 

do you know the governor there enough to ask them to experiment? there were two warnings when i loaded town with the gm client (though warnings are not usually a problem, it's errors you need to watch for). one was for the kobold midnight time machine and one was for steam pipe caps (that must have been lot deco somewhere near the entrance, because they did not show in the deco pallette for the town).

 

I'm the town governor for Maiden's Blush. It's an odd situation to debug. The town is active daily with a few guild members for years and this is the first time I have heard of a "new" guild member not being able to enter the town due to crash. I'm asking to see who owns said deco items. TBD.

 

The "kobold midnight time machine" was removed and placed in a chest. We don't know what this is -> "steam pipe caps".

 

Any other thoughts?

Again no rush and thank you ALL in advance. Wondering if there is anything else I cant try, install, uninstall, pass arguments before loading in? Anything else that I can even google myself?

I dont think its the town, moreso my system and somehow how it interacts with windows and unity and some asset (which is working correctly ingame) that is kicking my butt.

From my other testing.

Under Ubuntu and a couple of other distros i tried with their open source drivers (performance sucked) but no crashes anywhere.
Under Windows 10 or 11 i get crashes.

 

hmmm, pass arguments.

https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.4/Documentation/Manual/CommandLineArguments.html

specifically, the standalone player command line arguments section.
(i have no specific reason to believe anything there will help, but if you want to experiment...)

 

Would you mind giving me an example of how or where i can post an argument to launch the game/as the game is launching? And whats better for the SOTA client or SOTA Steam

 

easiest is adding them in the launcher settings

 

oh! AMD. it may be the color cycling dye. there's a balloon teleporter to crafter's town (which isn't gonna be useful anymore anyway) using that dye. @Akandriel, can you pick that up, and anything else in the area with color-cycling dye, and have @addrox try again?

 

Yup this worked ... THANK YOU @Alley Oop for a response and not forgetting. Much appreciated! and @Akandriel it worked!!!
