script thread assert

[alpine storm]

No it should not. Can you provide us the full logs folder of the session when it just happened? And a description of what you did right before it happened

[dense lily]

Steps

• Opened project
• Loaded world
• Clicked play
• No error
• Escaped after 10 seconds
• Clicked a chair in the world and removed something from the 'Partent Context List' in the ActionsManagerComponent
• CTRL + S to save
• Clicked play
• The error pops up https://i.imgur.com/LWI32e4.png

Can you reproduce this somewhat reliably with that project? If so I'd ask for the setup so I can see if I can make it happen for me also

It might be related to EDF/EPF from me but I am not sure about it yet

[dense lily]

Yes it happens 100% of the time. Also I don't have to modify anything, first time I click play it runs fine, once I stop it from playing the next times will always do this.

This shows up in the in-editor log

Alright. Please zip me your project add-on send it to me via DM and perhaps include your .db folder from profile if there is anything. I'll try to reproduce it tomorrow then and maybe I can fix it or at least offer a workaround to avoid getting it. Thank you

[alpine storm]

We will fix these errors you saw in the log, they might be related to the assert you see. If you have time please try adding this to your mod and see if your asserts suddenly stop. If so comment it out and see if it suddenly starts again. That would be a huge help thx

modded class SCR_SupportStationManagerComponent
{
    override void AddSupportStation(notnull SCR_BaseSupportStationComponent supportStation)
    {
        // Do nothing.
    }
}

[dense lily]

Thanks, will do.

I am also getting the same error that @dense lily is reporting.
I tried your solution but couldn't build/validate the script.

[dense lily]

Same error when I tried it too

[alpine storm]

I think you two accidentially filepatched the original away. You can override an entire vanilla script file by putting a file with the same name in the same location. Try something like this

This works fine 🙂

[dense lily]

Copying the same location and naming I still got the error popup

Copying your naming and the same location you used I also still got the error

Could validate this time however

[alpine storm]

The game compiles and starts but you still get the assert is what you are saying?

[dense lily]

Yup that's right

[alpine storm]

Okay then unfortunately I have no idea. And without being able to reproduce it myself I can't investigate it further. Not sure what the difference is between your setup and mine (I used experimental tools as you did)

[dense lily]

I'll make another project and as I work through it I'll see what the last thing I done before it starts popping up.
It's weird that it only happens the second time I press play, even if no change is made at all

[hushed ridge]

Same situation for me. I can launch first time, no issues. The 2nd time, I'll get the exception error even with the modded example you provided. Only thing that mitigates it is to disable the component on my gamemode entity. Out of curiosity, what does your gamemode prefab look like?

[dense lily]

My game mode is the default GameMode_Plain duplicated into my mod. No idea if that's how you're meant to do it or not though

[hushed ridge]

That's what I'm using as well

I wonder if it's related

[dense lily]

Yeah, I'm not too sure aye. I changed the game mode to some of the others and on the second 'play' the error still pops up.
That's with closing the editor after each pop up too

[hushed ridge]

What's really odd is now it is doing it to all of my projects... even brand new ones with nothing in them:

These are the logs when the assertion appears. Not sure if this is helpful but:

[alpine storm]

. Only thing that mitigates it is to disable the component on my gamemode entity.
What component?

[hushed ridge]

Sorry, I was wrong. It still occurs even with the SupportStation component disabled.

I've verified the file integrity of both my main game and the workbench tools. I've also updated my drivers. Workbench still errors

[alpine storm]

As as soon as you disable the component it works fine?

[hushed ridge]

No. I was incorrect when I stated that.

I forgot to relaunch after I received the error. Since the error only appears the first time if you choose abort/ignore on the assertion.

[hushed ridge]

Is it risky to continue developing after choosing to ignore the assertion? I'd like to keep working on my mod but this is blocking development 😦

[alpine storm]

You can safely ignore asserts if you feel like they don't touch on anything you made. They are meant as warning sings it something going wrong but this one might be our fault if it happens in brand new projects or yours

[dense lily]

Would you suggest we reinstall the tools?
I'm too new to this to take educated guesses at the things we may be doing differently from others, that cause us to get this.

[hushed ridge]

I've already tried to completely reinstall the main game and the tools. No luck in fixing the problem.

I've also opened some of my old projects from last year and still the error appears.

[hushed ridge]

@alpine storm @dense lily I think I've narrowed it down a bit. Deleting the .save folder in the Workbench folder seemed to fix it. I'm going to recursive search the files in the folder and find what exactly is causing it in there.
C:\Users\INSERT USER NAME HERE\OneDrive\Documents\My Games\ArmaReforgerWorkbench\profile\.save

It is this file causing the issue:

[alpine storm]

Ahhhh OneDrive

@dense lily is your documents folder in OneDrive as well?

This is known to cause multiple issues because the workbench is reacting to file changes which OneDrive can trigger while doing it's sync

Perhaps you can disable the sync for that folder @hushed ridge and it will fix it. Thx for investigating. Reload of engine settings due to external changes is indeed one of the assert triggers I saw in the code so this would make sense.

[hushed ridge]

Sure. I'll give that a shot.

[hushed ridge]

I checked and my OneDrive settings have been disabled for quite some time now. There havn't been any syncs to/from any of the folders. So while I may be wrong, I have a hunch this isn't related.

[dense lily]

No
C:\Users\Name\Documents\My Games
Damn, that would have been a good find

[hushed ridge]

Did deleting the file I mentioned work for you?

[dense lily]

Hey sorry I missed this, yes that's stopped it from popping up now.
Restarted editor a few times too and no pop up

[hushed ridge]

No worries, glad to hear that worked!
