Cannot Confirm Sea Battles: Crash for virtual function call

[Captain Tiems]

My game crashes sometimes in battles, more often in the bigger battles.

Runtime error

Engine.exe

r6015
-pure virtual function call

Please post more information. For example log files, save games where this can be repeated and any details that might be relevant.

 

[Captain Tiems]

here are the log files, I hope they are helpful

Last things in there are related to masts falling:

For character 0 fall Mast name mast3 has index 3
== Directsail called at 07:44
For character 0 fall Mast name mast2 has index 2
For character 0 fall Mast name mast4 has index 4
For character 2002 fall Mast name mast3 has index 3

Not entirely surprising, because missing masts are always tricky in many ways.

Also, you don't seem to have the latest update;

Build 14 Beta 3.5 WIP: 2 Jul 2015
Savegame Compatibility: 14.916

Newest version should be 9 July if I recall.
Anyway, I intend to make a new installer tonight so you can wait for next update, I suppose.

This could be caused by language files which are unloaded already if we are lucky.
else it's a pointer problem... Or reference problem.

 

[Levis]

This can happen for example when the reference or pointer to an object is pointing to a NULL location, and you use the object reference or pointer to call a virtual function in the class. For example:

std::vector<DerivedClass> objContainer;if(!objContainer.empty())constBaseClass& objRef = objContainer.front();// Do some processing using objRef and then you erase the first// element of objContainer
objContainer.erase(objContainer.begin());const std::string& name = objRef.name();// -> (name() is a pure virtual function in base class, // which has been implemented in DerivedClass).
At this point object stored in objContainer[0] does not exist. When the virtual table is indexed, no valid memory location is found. Hence, a run time error is issued saying "pure virtual function called".

So it could be an pointer is pointing to an object which is deleted. Or more likely a aref is made where the attribute is deleted later while the aref is called.

This happened in the middle of my test for this:
High Priority - Levelling: Cannonball Hits Slow Down Game | Page 7 | PiratesAhoy!

No useful log entries that I can see.

Started a new game on Standard and gave myself the Soleil Royal, then went to harass the Speighstown blockading squadron.
All seemed smooth enough.

Did get this in compile.log though:

XP ERROR: No officertype assigned to: Remy Gatien now set to: fighter
For character 993 fall Mast name mast4 has index 4
XP ERROR: No officertype assigned to: Begon Monchaty now set to: fighter
XP ERROR: No officertype assigned to: Yves Giner now set to: fighter

And I also got this: Confirmed Bug - Sea Battles: Crash for virtual function call | PiratesAhoy!

I got the same thing with Man-o-War...

@Mirsaneli next time please also upload the log files

Since we didn't hear this being reported again for almost a month, I am marking it as "Cannot Confirm".
