Psych Engine freezes whenever I try to save edits to a character or add sprites to a stage

[brittle wren]

This program worked perfectly fine when I was using Ubuntu, but ever since I swapped to EndeavourOS it just freezes. I don't know how to read the coredump at all, so if anyone is willing to help, please do. I've had to make character edits by editing the .json manually, and that has not been a fun experience

For context, I'm on EndeavourOS

Hey thanks for making the thread, I am right now out to get some groceries so I'll look into this when I'm back home. Could you give some more context as to how you installed this program?

[fleet flame]

mayravixx received a thank you cookie!

[brittle wren]

Basically, I downloaded the linux version from the github page, extracted it, double-clicked the program, and ran it

[red osprey]

it's this right? https://github.com/ShadowMario/FNF-PsychEngine

[brittle wren]

yeah

[red osprey]

is your system up to date?

if not do pacman -Syu pls

[brittle wren]

It wasn't, so I'll do that

I'll try it again after the update to see if it still has issues

[red osprey]

also did you install the dependencies listed for the program?

[brittle wren]

No, honestly I didn't even know it had any. I don't remember installing any on Ubuntu either, and it worked fine there

[red osprey]

wait nvm I was looking at the build instructions

ignore what I said

xD

anyway yeah try after the update and let me know what happens

[brittle wren]

I can confirm even after a system update, it still freezes the moment I try to add a new sprite to a stage

[red osprey]

hmm

@brittle wren why not join the discord server and ask them?

here's the link: https://discord.gg/2ka77eMXDv

[brittle wren]

I have, no one seems to want to answer

Best case scenario I'm just missing some random package or something. Worst case scenario, it's a genuine bug with the program on arch-based distros, and I have to go straight to the github to submit a report. Until I know for a fact it's a bug I can't do anything though

[red osprey]

the thing is the repo is archived so u can't really file an issue

@brittle wren could you launch the program from the terminal and then do it and when it crashes, post the logs here pls

maybe we could get more info there, I mean that stack trace indicates something with libc but 🤷

[brittle wren]

would an OBS recording also help?

[red osprey]

probably, no harm in including it, but if you could post the logs in text form that'd be great please

[brittle wren]

This is all that opening it with my terminal shows:

[aeryn@snowy Psych Engine]$ ./PsychEngine

[aeryn@snowy Psych Engine]$

-# (for some reason it didn't copy it the first time)

That's actually why I was looking at journalctl to try to figure out what the problem is; basically no useful information at all from the terminal output besides a generic gtk warning that I see every now and then, mostly when working with winetricks

[red osprey]

yeah there's nothing helpful :/

Killed is not really anything we can work with xD

I think it may just be a glibc thing

and it may have worked with ubuntu cuz they use a different (older) version of glibc

:/

for now your best bet is to just wait for an answer from their discord server I guess

[brittle wren]

Unfortunately I'm not going to get one

The best I was told is that it's no longer in development, and that I'm basically sol

I even tried installing glibc just in case, and it still freezes

[red osprey]

you don't need to install glibc, it is a core component that is already installed and present on the system :)

[brittle wren]

True but I also have no other leads :\

[red osprey]

sorry 😔

[red osprey]

you could maybe try the arch forums

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewforum.php?id=32

[brittle wren]

Are you sure? It mentions when signing up that the forums are only for base arch, and not manjaro or anything like that (as it puts it, the "easy arch installers")

[red osprey]

oh right, you use endeavouros

yeah you can't rly post there then

:/

[brittle wren]

I can try the endeavouros forums instead
