[0.1.1] cannot modify generation settings without crash on start

[cunning merlin]

when creating a new save, i am completley unable to modify the generation settings without causing an almost instant crash when i try to finish and play said save

im not sure why this happens, and also really unsure if its just me or not

...im also unsure how to provide any way to show what happens

or theres any kind of crash logs i should send-

ive attempted to narrow down what is causing it, but it seems like changing any setting causes it

[cunning merlin]

do tell me how/what else you need

[uneven basalt]

hmm

(new save, secondary colors are a setting, and patch likeliness was increased)

[cunning merlin]

hmm

[uneven basalt]

anything else that might matter?

like ex: just one setting?

[cunning merlin]

when I had originally done it
I had changed patch size increase percentage
decreased some my mum spawn distances
increased others

turned some of their likelynes to zero

I tried to filter stuff out

but it was bacicaly everything but the first box of settings

more specifically the enable [insert thing here] settings

[uneven basalt]

hmmm

any other things like os?

[cunning merlin]

im on win10

pro edition, but I dont think that in parituclar matters

[uneven basalt]

win 11 for me, that might have something to do with it

[cunning merlin]

possibly

I tried repairing my game files too

didn't fix

[uneven basalt]

actually that would make a lot of sense

wait can you open already made files?\

[cunning merlin]

hm?

what do you mean

[uneven basalt]

can you load, ex:

[cunning merlin]

also, the game does run when I dont modify generation settings (other then these)

[cunning merlin]

ill try

they go in the appdata part, right?

not where the rest is stored

[uneven basalt]

i think you click import in the load menu

[cunning merlin]

oh, right

yea

that would work xD

that works

[uneven basalt]

screenshot?

[cunning merlin]

of what sorry?

[uneven basalt]

just it loaded right

[cunning merlin]

yep

works like it should

[uneven basalt]

interesting

so creating them is the issue

[cunning merlin]

i know this crashes it when i try to play

crashes halfway through the animation after clicking play

[uneven basalt]

just those?

[cunning merlin]

those are very similar to what i wanted to do

i did rush doing it though

for the sake of showing

and it did crash when i clicked play

[uneven basalt]

so basically change some setting besides the first block?

[cunning merlin]

all of those are changed

[uneven basalt]

i did change something in the second block iirc

[cunning merlin]

in some way

like partial and half were disabled

max size was bumped dto 8

grow size to 50

[uneven basalt]

i presume not all need to be changed

[cunning merlin]

what sorry?

[uneven basalt]

basically, does it work with just one?

[cunning merlin]

give me a moment to test

can get away with changing the first two blocks

without crash

[uneven basalt]

hmm

time to test on 11

[cunning merlin]

first three, too

hmm

[uneven basalt]

ima test 5

5 alone is ok

[cunning merlin]

first four ones together are okay

five

[uneven basalt]

ima test 1-6

1-6 works

on 11

[cunning merlin]

first seven work

[uneven basalt]

should I do 8

[cunning merlin]

..eight works..

i wonder what on earth is tripping it up then

[uneven basalt]

10 works?

[cunning merlin]

...

wh..

hu??

[uneven basalt]

?

[cunning merlin]

im confused now

[uneven basalt]

how?

[cunning merlin]

im so confused now

i activated

edleast all of them once

before

randomly

and it works

but when i try to go set them to actactly what i want

then it crashes

[uneven basalt]

...

wow that's specific

[cunning merlin]

I genuinely have no clue what the hell is causing it

tru disabling some patches

maybe that did it?

[cunning merlin]

try using something like these settings

I wana see if this can be replicated somewhere else

[cunning merlin]

could you try this?

if you wouldnt mind

[uneven basalt]

sorry I'd need to reopen s2

[cunning merlin]

aight

[cunning merlin]

hold on

i just found my crash logs

or edleast

i think their crash logs?

that should help

..maybe..

because i cant play the game (edleast, not how i want to play) because of this

its either
customise in ways i dont want
dont customise at all

or crash

[uneven basalt]

well that's something (finding crash logs)

[cunning merlin]

was in a different location then everything else

was in local, not locallow

[cunning merlin]

do i.. need to do this again?
because its been a few days
and absolutely nothing

[thin nebula]

there can be some delay before the devs can look over your report

[cunning merlin]

yea, thats fair, im just wondering
first time ive had to report something

so im.. not exactly sure what to do

[cunning merlin]

im just.. confused, because everything else has been seen

Hi @cunning merlin ! Thank you for your report! 😄

We've been trying to repro this specific issue on Vulkan, but we seem to be unable to repro the issue on our side.

I've noticed from your logs that the game library is located on a folder different from C:/ drive. Would you be willing to test this with the game installed on your main drive and without Vulkan? Perhaps a combination of those two things might be causing the issue

[cunning merlin]

how can I disable vulkan?

ill try testing it on my main drive with vulkan, without vulkan, and on my m.2 drive without vulkan

[cursive oasis]

On the steam launcher there should be an option that allows you to select which launcher to use. If you've previously selected to use that as default, right click on the game launcher and got to Properties > General and select a different Launch Option

[cunning merlin]

aah, gotya, forgot I had it set to not ask me on launch

it works on dx11

i believe its something to do with vulkan

and it works on dx12

and im going to test it again on vulkan to confirm

[cursive oasis]

It seems to be related to launching in Vulkan, and I'm glad to hear that dx11 and 12 works as a temporal workaround

Were you able to repro this issue in vulkan?

[cunning merlin]

i.. was not?

i cant recreate this now

i have no clue why
