Steam Controller crashes game.

[Miss]

I like dat Heisenbug

User: It doesn't work!
Support: Please be more precise. What doesn't work?
User: Yeah, here, this! See the annoying bug on with the error popup?
Support: Please send us the complete project and a description of what you are doing.
User: why do I need to show what is obvious!? Here is a screenshot, there is a bug!
(mostly Indian) Tool team: We tried to reach you by phone, but we could not contact you. [they were calling very early, or during our lunch time]
We are very sorry sir, we are not able to reproduce the problem [different hardware, they do not use the tool like the users do, they don't take the time to try several times]. Ticket closed.
User: why am I reporting anything!? grrrr

Hey that sounds like an average Steam forum user haha

Well I tried to run procdump with the following two command line params:

Code: Select all

procdump.exe -accepteula -e Maniaplanet
procdump.exe -accepteula -e -w -ma Maniaplanet

And the only thing I get when it crashes is lots of lines (in the command window) with:

Code: Select all

[21:53:48] Exception: C0000005.ACCESS_VIOLATION
[21:53:48] Exception: C0000005.ACCESS_VIOLATION
[21:53:48] Exception: C0000005.ACCESS_VIOLATION
[... this continues for maybe 200-300 lines ...]
[21:53:48] Exception: C0000005.ACCESS_VIOLATION
[21:53:48] The process has exited.
[21:53:48] Dump count not reached.

Update regarding last reply.
I debugged with visual studio debugger. Got this info out of it:

And got a dump file.

Yeah, so it's a Nadeo thing.. they have to fix it.. unless this code is a Steamworks callback somehow *shrug*

[toffe]

NANDO PLS

Anyway, nadeo send me pm, i will send you debug dump from visual studio so you could couple the symbols etc and fix it plz.

Another note, didn't happen when I was playing offline (but maps with mods). I drove maybe 15 maps in total, few with mods.
