[Sander Bouwhuis]

I just now installed OpenXComEx v2024-07-26. I went to the options, and after pressing 'Ok' the game crashed:

If this error was unexpected, please report it on the OpenXcom forum (OXCE board).
The following can help us solve the problem:
1. a saved game from just before the crash (helps 98%)
2. a detailed description how to reproduce the crash (helps 80%)
3. a log file (helps 10%)
4. a screenshot of this error message (helps 5%)

Reproduction steps:
1. Go to the options screen
2. Go to the video options
3. Select 'Disabled' for the display filter
4. Press 'Ok'.
5. #CRASH#

[Meridian]

which display filter are you using?

[Sander Bouwhuis]

Sorry, I updated the original comment before I saw your response.
I used the 'disabled' display filter. I don't know what 'display filter' does exactly.

[Meridian]

Did you change from a different filter to Disabled?
If yes, what was the original filter?

[Meridian]

Also, maybe try a smaller resolution than 3840x2160, if it helps or not.
(I can only test a maximum of 1920x1200 on my laptop.)


@all: does it crash for anyone else? for me, it doesn't...

If I want to crash the game, I just do: <video attached>

[Meridian]

Yes, but that one is known and happens in all versions of OXC and OXCE.

I was trying to figure out if this is a new issue.
(the logs are different, so probably it is)

[Delian]

When you set to Disabled, I think it should say 3840x2160x8, but in his log the last change says 3840x2160x32. So I think his last filter change was not to Disabled but to some other filter.

[Sander Bouwhuis]

I went from the original ('*raw) to disabled, and then it crashes.
When I just leave it on *raw, the game works. I don't know what the 'display filter' does. I was experimenting to try and discover what it was.

What should I set this to to get the best quality?

[Solarius Scorch]

What should I set this to to get the best quality?

Use vanilla settings, filters are ew.

I'm not even joking.

[Sander Bouwhuis]

Is 'vanilla' settings the 'disabled' option? If so, then I can't run that because it crashes.

[Meridian]

Is 'vanilla' settings the 'disabled' option? If so, then I can't run that because it crashes.

Yes, "Disabled" is the default.

You can also click "Restore Defaults" button; or delete the options.cfg file (while the game isn't running)... both should reset to "Disabled".

[Sander Bouwhuis]

I deleted the options.cfg file and used the halving method to reintroduce the settings.

Finally, I found that this single setting crashes the game when I change from 'raw' to 'disabled'.

The following can help us solve the problem:
1. a saved game from just before the crash (helps 98%)
2. a detailed description how to reproduce the crash (helps 80%)
3. a log file (helps 10%)
4. a screenshot of this error message (helps 5%)

So, as long as you use text editing to change the setting to useOpenGL: false, the game doesn't crash (and works in 'disabled' mode).

[Delian]

Why's there a 15 second delay in there? After you change to Disabled, do you perhaps wait 15 seconds (where it counts down if you want to keep the settings), and then it crashes?

[Meridian]

Finally, I found that this single setting crashes the game when I change from 'raw' to 'disabled'.

WORKS
useOpenGL: false

#CRASH#
useOpenGL: true

So, as long as you use text editing to change the setting to useOpenGL: false, the game doesn't crash (and works in 'disabled' mode).

When you change the display filter, `useOpenGL` is also automatically changed to the required value.
("Disabled" requires value `false`)

You are not supposed to edit this value manually.
