1123 posts 		Hi guys,

Currently playing West Hampstead in MP and this error just popped up, not sure what it means? Maybe Loader core code?

Online 		Yes, it's core code.

Mantis 31934 raised.

Which loader version?
Do you have a saved game from just before it happened?
Do you have the log file, which may have more details?
Can you remember exactly what you were doing when this popped up? For example, a very similar error has been reported when someone closed a timetable window of an active train using the Esc key.

1123 posts 		Just had a similar issue with the Kings Cross session that I've joined, I had three timetable windows open because at the moment I have a train delayed for 20 minutes at Hatfield and I was looking ahead of time to see what the train in question was doing.

Then as I closed the windows, I had a loader error come up now while I do have saves, a screenshot and the data versions of both loader and the actual sim, I don't have access to the log nor do I know how or where it can be found.


Loader 5.8
Kings Cross 3.7

I'm sorry I can't be of more assistance.

For me, the case often seems to be closing the timetable window, at the same time the train changes something, for example departing a station, which advances the timetable. From my own programming perspective, it seems like SimSig might be trying to update that change into the timetable window, which is in a "closing" read-only state, which causes the exception.

Online 		I've been through the entire code that could generate that message but can't see what's causing it, including the possibility of a bad pointer. The address 00000220 looks very like an attempt to go through a nil pointer, which should show assembler code like "EAX+220", but I can't see any such in the right place.

I've updated the core code so that if this particular problem occurs in future versions of the loader, there will be some extra information to help me nail it down a bit.

Is the save from just before the error or just after? If you restart the saved game, can you reproduce the problem?

In C:\Users\Public\Documents\SimSig will be files called "SimSig Loader0.log", "SimSig Loader1.log", etc. Look at the timestamp to see which one your session was logged into. Sessions are appended into the files until they become too big, so look near the end.

(The log isn't completely written until the simulation is shut down, so do that before looking at it.)

I found the log files but as I was only the client, there's nothing at my end that I can see with a date stamp for yesterday's session.

Once I clicked okay, the warning went away and I didn't have any other issues but it was the same warning that I got the other day when I was a client on a West Hampstead session.

@Rocangus might have the log file which can show exactly what happened. The session itself once I had posted above, we had just continued it and had no further issues.

1123 posts 		@Clive,

Just so you're aware the bug happened again, I've managed to get the save and the log file which is attached below from the host of the Edinburgh part of the Scottish Chain tonight.

Hopefully this helps pinpoint why the loader keeps throwing out this error.

332 posts 		That log file doesn't contain the noted exception, but I think there's enough logs now from other reports that any others won't give any more information until the new loader is pushed out with extra logging.

586 posts 		The exception has returned! I closed the timetable window right as the train passed its next location. The loader CTD'd after I clicked "Ok" on the exception dialog.
Here is a screenshot, as well as the relevant part of the logfile. The cut-off at the end is how it is in the file...
