Latest patch crashing with build blocks

[Tenbux McGee]

Latest version (0.09385) is causing my game (local sandbox) to crash when I try to enter any build block on my space station. When I reload the game, my character is positioned at the default build mode camera angle for the station instead of outside the build block I tried to activate.

EDIT: Null pointer exception patch resolved this issue for me.

Crash also happens when you go to advanced building in the ship core.

Game crashes when entering a build block on a station. Tested in single player and multiplayer. Also tested entering a build block with the new \"block preview\" option turned on and off. Crash on both accounts.

You mean holding down LControl? That works just fine for me.
Oh, the mystical wonders of programming.

Yep i got the same probleme here... i can play.. but as soon i enter a build block the game crash with null.... error

 

[seancruz]

Same here. Crashes every time.



NullPointerException: null is all that pops up once I used task manager.

 

[foxteladi]

yes i have the same problem...pls make a hotfix pls

 

[lazarus78]

Same for me. 3 attempts to enter build block with null crash.

I have the exact same problem, entering build block and crashy. Now I do have an Intel, but that has not been any problem up until this update. I had a bad card before on my previous laptop and i could not use the Lctrl advanced build mode in ship core or anything else and couldn\'t even load regular stations properly, but i switched with another family member with a much more up to date card and it has worked perfectly till this very latest update. I can\'t update my graphics card because it was a custom card from Gateway (much more complex stuff than i\'m used to) and i can\'t download an update directly from Intel. I have had absolutely no problems with my graphics till this very update.

TY for finding this, please bug report it. Schema will fix it ASAP.

just updated to 0.09385 and never had a crash ever before untill this update. I have an nvidia gpu and latest drivers but everytime i press R to get into build block on my station i crash getting a \'null pointer\'

I can easily go into ship build mode and even use left-control for advance build mode, but NOT even enter build block. Please do something about it thank you

 

[stromhurst]

That was quick!, good job ppl :D

The fix for nullpointer exception update did not change the crash in multiplayer nor in single player.

i heard that if your in build mode and scroll through hot bar and hit the personal laser it will crash. not sure if this is your crash problem but just one of the bugs i guess

 

[AltF4Dead]

no crashing while entering build blocks for me

 

[Gimboidicus]

Confirmed, only happens if you have the gun equipped, I moved the gun back into my inventory, and L-Control works perfectly.

 

[Shadowshideall]

i\'m getting the error \"OpenGLException: Cannot use Buffers when Array Buffer Object is enabled\" when i enter build blocks

While I\'m not sure what it causing the crash, it has something to do with the game forcing the client setting \"G_PREVIEW_TO_BUILD_BLOCK_TEST= true\".
You\'ll find that when you start the game if you go into options that \"Preview to Build Block\" is checked. Even if you attempt to uncheck this box and then exit options the client will still force the setting back on.

A way to circumvent this issue and get build blocks to work again (until the issue can be resolved by schema with an update) is to go into your \"StarMade\" folder and locate your \"settings.cfg\" file.
Right Click the file and choose \"EDIT\". Then search for the line: \"G_PREVIEW_TO_BUILD_BLOCK_TEST = true\" and set the value to \"false\" and \"SAVE\" the file.
Once saved Right Click the \"settings.cfg\" file again and set it to \"Read Only\". This will prevent the client from forcing it back to the false state once launched.

The client may stop responding momentarily during launch after you make this change, but simply ignore it. If it crashes just launch again.
Once you are in game you will find that build blocks once again work as intended.

It is VERY IMPORTANT that you DO NOT CHANGE YOUR SETTINGS in either the launcher or the game after you do this as it will remove the \"read only\" value from your settings.cfg file and you will once again begin to experience the same issues (and will have to repeat the process described above in order to resolve it).

i did this, it worked, and then while working on a planet i tried to toss a piece of ore. now it wont work whether true or false

I have been having this problem very very consistently, as well as ship core build mode crashing a ton. I looked at my settings and that option was arleady set to false.
