Crash on loading savegame, but only if it's the 1st one loaded after restarting app
This is weird. I'm testing this mod: Acashiea Moca a.k.a. Moca a.k.a. Clean Vampire Moka 1.4 by bbslayer_07 http://mw.modhistory.com/download-24-13630
I found this companion NPC in the Eight Plates in Balmora, put her in follow mode, went outside and saved, immediately after installing the mod. The game crashed on loading this save later. Did some testing:
Game does not crash if I save in an indoor cell (I used Hodlismod's armor shop), whether she's in follow mode or not, and I then load that save.
Game crashes if I pick the outdoor Balmora cell and save in it, whether she's in follow mode or not, then load that save immediately after starting the app. In one case out of about ten, it didn't crash but instead dumped me into the water table below Balmora. In every other test, such saves just crashed, and 0% resulted in normal game loading.
Game does NOT crash if I start the app, load some other savegame (pre-Moca, or with Moca but saved in the interior), THEN load the outdoor save that previously crashed.
Outdoor saves with her do not crash in all exteriors; one saved in Gnisis worked fine, and so did Seyda Neen. Going back to Balmora, a new save there crashed again, yet the same savegame works again as long as I load another one first.
How one earth could opening savegame "A" first have an effect on what OpenMW does with another savegame "B" it opens second? Why would "B" be okay later, but not as the first save?
Dunno what to make of this. The crash happening at all, in Balmora in particular, is likely a mod conflict of some sort, what with Balmora being "mod central". But this "I will crash if and only if you load this companion in Balmora, outdoors, and FIRST" is really weird.
If you get a "this doesn't do that to me" result, I can provide a modlist (mine is very long). and openmw.log after forcing it to crash this way again.
I cannot provide a crash.log, because:
- https://bugs.openmw.org/issues/4341
- https://wiki.openmw.org/index.php?title=Talk:Development_Environment_Setup#Mac_instructions
- https://wiki.openmw.org/index.php?title=Talk:Testing
(Short version: The Mac nightlies don't work with gdb because they have someone's username and paths on another system hardcoded into them, and I can't compile my own, even with the pre-built dependencies package, because the build seems completely reliant on Apple's own Unix stuff and I'm using MacPorts. No one's responded to inquiries at either of the wiki talk pages, so I'm just stuck in a "can't give you a crash.log" corner.)
