The forum engine doesn't allow to attach files in AppData/crashes folder due to "not have an allowed extension". Do you need them to analyze the crash?

Hey @minus2ev

Is there any error message showing up before or after the game crashes? Also, are you playing with Below & Beyond DLC or you just installed the free update?

Hi @Aiwyth

No error messages, just frozen image and sound, then in a second or two my desktop. Playing with the DLC.

You have a bunch of mods in there, best to remove them while we work on this.

That aside, the crash appears to relate to video issues

/media/jadmin/jenkinsdata/workspace_suma/suma_fullbuild/Code/HR/reRenderDevice-gl.cpp(1636): ASSERT(wait_count == 0) failed (time 192850)
Scope

So you might check for any updated nVidia driver.

Note that the only distro the game is officially supported on in Ubuntu, so if this crash is related to using Manjaro it may not be able to be addressed., sorry!

Hey andrew, seems like a lot of people get mislead by assertions. Assertions are not errors, but simply verify that a statement is true. For example, if I assert that penguins are blue, then the system would throw an "assertion error" with the context within the statement. Not that I can trigger an assertion by stating that banana are not yellow, forcing a negative, and then get a peek in the state of the system. In my experience with the game though, they do not stop it from running. So the crash may either be not be related to the assertion, or simply be caused by it because the OS isn't expecting that behavior (game window loosing focus to show the assert message box). Or the user may have been confused by the assertion too and understood it as an error, which it is not.

Assertions should be ignored (or disabled) entirely in production. If there is a problem related to the video and drivers, the game would have crashed much earlier and left a tasty error message (or none at all).

@AndrewT indeed I have some mods installed, but I had only one enabled, which is realtime clock. If installed but not enabled mods can cause crashes, then I guess my issue is the least of this product's problems. The same is true if realtime clock mod causes crashes. Regarding asserts it's indeed strange to see them in release code, they're disabled in release builds by default in most compilers. Regarding NVidia drivers duly noted, but I doubt it's the root cause as I have not the most recent GPU and the version of drivers I have is mature enough. Regarding the distro got it, but that's not comforting. I'll hopefully check again on other distro (planned to hop again anyway, not to Ubuntu though) this weekend. Will updated if necessary.
