Server Help Random planets crash while exploring them

I'm hosting a server for my friends and I, and random planets decide to crash our clients. It literally is random and no error log is produced when the game crashes. Some planets work fine, while others, within seconds of landing on them crashes whoever landed on it. Anything I can do about this? Is it server related?

Edit: New finding. I also want to point out that not every player crashes on the same planets. So one person can crash on a planet and the other will be fine.

Edit #2: Some planets do not crash instantly. You can land on a planet, but once you hit a certain point it force closes the client. Once again the server just treats it like the person dc'd and not an actual error. No client-side log produced either.

I dont think this is a server thing, but rather a client thing. Otherwise, there would be an error message or the server software would crash. I suspect the server is telling the client to load an asset that has been moved/removed.

 

Got the same issue, as 3 others who play on my server.
Some planets make either your client closing or, if you use 64bit client, make it freeze.
But it is only on certain places of the planet, if i get the error at when i move a few steps form the spawn to the right, it does not happen on the left side until i come back to this spot.

 

That's what I meant in the other Thread - these crashes mainly appear on my linux64 server for me (32 bit client). But sometimes on my linux32 server, too....

 

I watch the server console constantly when we tested out which planets crashed. Nothing appeared in it other than the player dc'd. This is also on windows 7 64-bit.

 

So does anyone know of a solution or is it just the game itself being buggy?

 

i have the same issue but a entry in the log (client):

it happens on opengl and directx 32 bit and 64 bit on the same planet

 

I've had a similar issue?

I was hosting on a server, and running the client in 64-bit, and so was my friend who joined.

Everything was working fine until we went a little to the right and approached a mine. (series of tunnels filled with random monsters and lots of boxes, but with tents and boxes at entrance.)
At that exact moment the client crashed to desktop without a trace, the server continued on perfectly fine, and more or less oblivious as I merely lost connection, and when we connected using the standard open-gl it worked fine, but we tried the 64-bit multiple times and it crashed everytime we got near that location for both of us.

So you might double-check if you're specific issues only happen in 64-bit mode. It is experimental, but I can't effectively use it if random places could crash my client. For the short time I used it though.. bliss...

 

We've only been playing in normal mode. (Clicking on Launch Starbound rather than OpenGL or 64-bit OpenGL)

 

I've been having this issue too when my partner & I play together. Nothing on the server log, but the client will randomly crash on planets. It's escalated enough that I am completely unable to go to certain planets (including one I was building on) without crashing almost instantly.

We've confirmed this is a client issue as well, as in singleplayer, going to the planets which have caused issue in MP cause no problems whatsoever. We have no idea what's been causing it as we've been unable to pinpoint it to anything at all other than being a multiplayer bug.

For reference, this is what my Starbound.log said after I had crashed when going to a planet:

Code:

[01:15:08.969] Info: Client received world stop packet, leaving: Removed

It's worth noting that we weren't having this issue with the Upbeat Giraffe Unstable build, but when we switched from Unstable to Stable when it came out, things have only gotten worse and worse.

The game is unplayable now, I want to build but there's no guarantee any planet I pick will be a choice that won't crash the game. This needs to be fixed ASAP.

 

I will try this planet on SP later that day and report, thanks Markelius.

Here is my testing with that planet on MP Server so far:
Starbound: Client instantly closes
Starbound OpenGL: Client instantly closes
Starbound 64bit: ingame freezes, you can run around but not interact with anything, new terrain will not render, also monsters freeze, then the client window freezes

will update later on whether this happens on SP too

 

Thanks for the feedback guys. Keep posting any logs you get, IF you get any from this kind of crashing.

 

The only error, my log shows is the same or at least the same as the error from Chadisko:

These errors appear if a user has a irregular Item -> But this is not causing the random crashes for server or client!

 

So a planet I was exploring started crashing again, and when the planets start crashing for me, I can't go on them at all without the game crashing almost instantly.

In a moment of curiousity, I tried with the 32bit OpenGL version of starbound (been using the 64bit one) to see if the problem persisted, and it did, but this time I got a much more descriptive error.

No idea what it means, but it's more than I usually get.

 

Right, Markelius, I got the same error (32 bit Linux with 32 bit Windows client). But without OpenGL!

Every single time at the same position!

 

Still happening with Upbeat Giraffe Stable Protocol 666. Please fix! The game is unplayable now.

 

Also having this issue but apparently a couple of my friends aren't. It's a very frustrating bug since it seems to happen primarily on Extreme-danger planets which makes mining a pain..

 

Even with the recent updates this issue still occurs randomly. Planets that crash are deemed "crash planets" and have to be avoided, even after restarting the server.
