[gzdoom-x86-g3.8pre-650-g04bf97579] Mod Crashes on startup

[Batandy]

First of all, let me say that you're doing a fantastic job. If you remember well, I wrote that thread about performance being worse on AMD, and i'm seeing huge fps gains with this new version, and even when it runs at lower framerates, it's super responsive compared to before. Keep it up!

Now, onto the bug:

Try downloading this demo of The Crimson Deed: http://www.mediafire.com/file/q8nce9h51 ... ta_V2.ipk3
If you run it with this build, it instantly crashes with an "Access Violation - Tried to read address 00000000000000

I've uploaded my crash report just in case.

This may be the same font related problem that already got reported and fixed.

It's a different one.

userinfo is empty while GetGender() doesn't expect that. Not sure if it's related to a static event handler from where it was called.

Code: Select all

At this point the game isn't fully initialized yet, so I guess the GetGender call needs to handle this case because it is needed for localization.

Fixed in c0d843b.
