Game crashes within first 5 minutes, whether I'm paused or not [MacOS]

cpd · Aug 9, 2022

A few minutes after opening my game, it quietly closes without warning. In ~/Documents/Paradox\ Interactive/Stellaris/logs/error.log I see that a file is missing:

Code:

0 - ❯❯❯ cat error.log
[21:02:54][assetfactory_audio.cpp:893]: No sound scripted for soundoverride 'advisor_notification_ships_upgraded_03'
[21:02:54][pdx_audio.cpp:453]: Missing sound: advisor_notification_ships_upgraded_03

It'd be really unfortunate if the engine crashes on a missing file. Just don't play the sound! But maybe that's just an innocuous error message and not the actual culprit.

The most recent crash in ~/Documents/Paradox\ Interactive/Stellaris/crashes/stellaris_20220808_210419 shows an exception.txt with the following stack trace

Code:

This is repeated over and over. Seeing a lot of malloc in here, so maybe this is actually a memory-safety issue instead?

No mods, but some DLC (noted in meta.yml)

Actually that says missing sound, not missing file. If you run a Steam Verify operation it will install any missing files, but I'm sure that is not your actual problem.

Your comments on malloc are interesting, but can't be due to a bug in the game or all Mac players would get this, including myself! Which they do not. Strictly speaking the M1 platform is not supported hardware for this game, but again I doubt that is the issue here.

You've attached one save game file here. Is that because this crash happens with it but not say a new galaxy you might start? Or this happens with every new galaxy you start?

And has this always happened, or it was okay up to some point?

I started up a new game to check this, and after playing through a couple hundred years managed to get it to crash with a similar-looking stack trace again

Your comments on malloc are interesting, but can't be due to a bug in the game or all Mac players would get this, including myself!

As a software engineer, I wish all the users of my software had the same perspective! It would be great if I could say that when my code crashes, it is not due to a bug I wrote

. I wonder if something about my games or my system is causing a rare circumstance to happen that causes it to crash. If my hardware itself were faulty, I would expect more applications on my computer to crash, and not just Stellaris when it gets past the year 2322, but maybe Apple has it out for anything that looks like a competing MegaCorp

I've gotten the new game to crash a few times within a couple minutes of starting.

And has this always happened, or it was okay up to some point?

I've logged about 200 hours in the past few months with no issues like these crashes. However, I bought the Overlord and Necroid DLC a couple weeks ago. The first game in this thread is the first game I've played with that new DLC, and the attached game is the second game.

This also happens to me quite frequently of late, I run the game on a Mac Pro with an intel chipset. It typically shows up post 2300, but can also happen just leaving the game paused and walking away for bit.

You could test that theory by disabling those DLCs , either in Steam or our launcher, and starting a new galaxy that way. That would determine if it's the DLCs themselves, or the underlying free patch.

Either way, if you believe this is a game bug, as it seems, the Bug Reports forum is the place for it!

That might make reporting it difficult, because this game is not officially supported on Intel video systems under MacOS! That said I don't see anything pointing to graphics in that crash stack.

abeth · Aug 17, 2022

The graphics card is an AMD Radeon Pro W5700X. The CPU itself is a 12-Core Intel Xeon W. It's one of the big tower machines.

AndrewT · Aug 17, 2022

Ah, by Intel chipset you mean the CPU, not the GPU. Gotcha.

abeth · Aug 17, 2022

Yeah, my bad. Been trying to figure out ways to resolve the crash for a while. It only rarely leaves behind an exception.txt or crash log in general, so it seems to terminate the process quick enough to prevent it fairly frequently. Given other people have been able to use the game unchanged when switching to Windows with the same save, I'm generally suspicious it's related to the OS itself, but that's just me throwing spitballs at the wall

Sounds good -- I'll run another test without Overlords and Necroids before reporting a bug.

Thanks!

Hi, I am currently experiencing the same issue on my M1 Air. Few days after 1.1.2331 game crashes.
No mods.
Has anyone managed to solve this yet?
