Crash when picking up the chaingun

[Former user]

Game crashes whenever I try to pick up the chaingun.

[Braden Obrzut]

Unable to reproduce with 1.4.0. You need to provide more information about your system.

I’m running the game on NixOS and on an Ubuntu 22.10 VM (both x86_64), and ECWolf 1.4.0 crashes for me if I already have the gattling gun and I pick up another GattlingGunUpgrade. I can easily reproduce the bug by running this:

ecwolf --data WL6 --nowait --file GattlingGunUpgrade_crash.wad --tedlevel MAP01

and walking forward.

That example works perfectly, thanks!

I get this issue as well on Windows 11 using 1.4.0 it effects both Wolf3D and SOD

[sSolle The Brave]

same happened to me on 1.4.0, when picking up a chaingun on e6m10

[Lord Kane]

also i tried pre 1.4.0 svn versions on DRD team, its been here since at least Dec 2022 possibly before as well.

Using git-bisect, I was able to determine that 70bc660 (Fixed: WeaponGiver auto-switching not working in multiplayer, 2022-12-27) was the commit that introduced this bug.

[Lord Kane]

Sadly none of the SVN versions on DRD Team go back before that date

Thanks, don’t know how I missed that ticket.

it happens

I was the one who reported this bug (before realizing that I could sign in with my Google account) and I should’ve clarified some things.

I’m using Windows 11, and, even though the bug says version 1.4.0, I was actually using the version right before that one (I think it was labeled 1.3.99999, or something like that).

Haven’t tested with SOD. Was just trying to finish Wolf 3D.

Hope that helps.

Edit: Wait, nevermind. It was a duplicate (#306) that I posted.

Still, I feel like I should post more info about how it happened on my end.

The glitch seems to happen when:

• I’m holding another weapons while I already have a chaingun
• I’m holding a chaingun and I don’t have 99 bullets

If I don’t already have a chaingun, or that I’m holding one with 99 bullets, I can pick it up just fine.

That matches my experience as well @POLE7645

[Braden Obrzut]

As I said earlier Jason Yundt’s demo wad demos the bug perfectly, this will be fixed soon and probably a new release out since this is a pretty game breaking bug. If only I got this much feedback on every bug report! :)

where is the updated build?

[Braden Obrzut]

Dev builds are produced at a fixed time each day assuming the scheduled tasks fire as they’re supposed to. New stable will likely be released in the next few days.
