[RESOLVED] DGindexNV.exe starting poorly

[Sharc]

No rush. Enjoy the pool. (It's already dark and cold here....)

[admin]

Getting closer. Please redownload and test again.

I'll have to be away coaching at the pool for a few hours starting at about 12:20. But I'll get right back on it at my return. We should be able to nail this down with a few more iterations.

Successful:
ref 10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,40,41,42 Exit: ref 5

Failure:
ref 10,11,12,13,14,15

Oh, ExitProcess(), that's how I punish reverse engineers, but here it's the honorable Sharc, so I must have messed up.

Aha, I think I've got it! Standby for a test build with a fix.

Uninitialised local variable. I must have been ethanol-coding that day and drifted slightly below the sweet spot. A slightly higher BAC would have avoided this failure. https://www.targetprocess.com/blog/2014 ... love-beer/

[admin]

OK, please redownload the Sharc test build and report. I am optimistic that it is fixed.

If it's OK I will make a slipstream.

[Sharc]

Looks good, yes:

Start: ref 10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21 Exit: ref 40,41,42,5

[admin]

Thank you, Sharc. Just to make sure you are not beer-testing outside the sweet spot, I will wait a few hours and then make a slipstream. Thank you so much for your debugging and reporting skills.

[Sharc]

My pleasure. You are most welcome

"The peak of the curve occurs at a BAC of 0.1337%, which is a reference to leet."

I agree that the real peak is much less than 0.1337, which would be considered highly impaired for driving.

Thanks to Sharc and DG for fixing this bug!

I've been encountering it a bunch of times of late and this morning I finally isolated a a reproducible set of test conditions and was just about to make a new thread with a detailed description and copies of the various files involved. Fortunately, I first checked the new binaries thread, noticed the new version from exactly 2 weeks ago, tried it and--wouldn't you know it--it squashed exactly the bug I was about to report.

Thanks for your additional test results, Carl.
