Help regarding the VM Execution BEEFCAFE pointer

So it wasn't a bug in the end but an user error? I could not reproduce the crash with their savegame since they used an old iwad.
You really should try with GZDoom to see if something it's actually a LZDoom bug or if it's even a bug.

If that was indeed the cause a fix may be to block player corpses from getting added to the corpse queue. AFAIK the engine does perform some stat list shenanigans with them which may interfere with corpse queue operation.

No matter what users do, engine should not crash. Errors and even fatal errors are OK, crashes are not.

Load attached .pk3 with the following command line, respawn, and hit the switch.

Code: Select all

-iwad doom2 -file player_corpse_queue.pk3 -host 1 +map map01

GZDoom works fine because corpse queue is no longer implemented using thinkers list. So, player corpse won't appear in more than one list simultaneously.

Thanks! I think it's fixed merging the GZDoom code. Seems i don't need to bump SAVEVER.
