I have closed all researches but that error appears again and again, in the same time.

[Meridian]

What should I do?

I'd recommend not enabling every half-baked unmaintained amateur submod in existence.

Need HELP !)

Then provide at least the whole log, so that we can actually see the error.

And if the crash was during gameplay, then also a saved game just before the crash.

Some mods might not be fully compatible with each other or with the version of OpenXcom you're using. Try disabling a few mods and see if the crash persists. Mods that significantly alter game mechanics (like XCF mods) might be causing the issue.

[DG85]

thanks a lot for answering!
this my saved game --- ! ups I can't put link here... how I can send my saved game to you?)
I have "OpenXcom has crashed: std::bad_array_new_length
Log file: E:/Games/UFO-XCF/user/openxcom.log" again.

The is crashing in 31 june 1995, about 30 sec after load a saved game.

This is my log-file --- ! ups I can't put link here... how I can send my log to you?)

Best wishes!

[Meridian]

attach the save file and the log file as an attachment to your post

[DG85]

Here it is)

And I follow the advise to switch some mods off and... the game does not run any more((

[Meridian]

I was interested in a log where the "OpenXcom has crashed: std::bad_array_new_length" error message can be seen.
The attached log does not contain it.

[DG85]

Oh, yeah) here it is)

I found the "std::bad_array_new_length" in there before sending, to be sure!)

And the first log-file was after mods switching off, when game finally broke up.

Well, would you be so kind to explain how I can turn mods back, with out running the game, and game menu?)
 

[R1dO]

You want to look at the file "options.cfg".

At the start there is a section called "mods", which lists all known mods (by "id:")  and whether they are enabled (e.g. "active: true").

For instance, here is an excerpt of one of mine:

Code: [Select]

mods:                                                                                               
  - active: true                                                                                   
    id: x-com-files                                                                                 
  - active: false                                                                                   
    id: piratez                                                                                     
  - active: false                                                                                   
    id: xcom1                                                                                       
  - active: false                                                                                   
    id: xcom2                                                                                       
  - active: false                                                                                   
    id: Aliens_Pick_Up_Weapons                                                                     
  - active: false                                                                                   
    id: Aliens_Pick_Up_Weapons_TFTD   

You want to set "active: true" for those you want enabled.
Be sure to backup this file first though.

If the game crashes at startup it is actually better to delete that file and then startup the game. This ensures a default start (which should work) so you can start activating each mod (and restart the game after each activation) which enables tracking down the mod that is causing problems.

[DG85]

I'll try!

The crash is caused by the mod "Maps and scraps".
Turn off (or fix) the mod to prevent the crash.

Edit: ...more precisely it is caused by a mission "STR_SCHOOL_SHOOTING_MISSION" from "Maps and scraps", which is missing a spawn zone.

PS: turning off "Yautja Hunter" mod would (accidentally) work too (because the RNG would work out differently end of month), but the real problem is the "Maps and scraps" mod

[DG85]

It works ! It works !

Thanks to all !!!

[DG85]

It works! It works!
Yes, I switch off "yautja hunter" - and game walk through)
Before that, I deleted Options.cfg, and game get started.

Thank you, @Meridian, and you, @R1dO !!!

[DG85]

Maps & Scraps, I see.
