Closed Game keeps crashing after starting up a file

Once i start my game and load up my character. It'll be running for a few seconds and then all of a sudden crash. I created a new player and it didn't crash at all. Wtf is wrong with my other character or is it something wrong with my game in general. Please help, i don't wanna get rid on my 'broken' character, i spent too long on it.

 

In any crashing issue, we must first start with logfiles.

To begin:

1. Open Steam.
2. Go to your Library
3. Right-click Starbound
4. Click Properties
5. Click the Local Files tab
6. Click Browse Local Files
7. Double-click the giraffe_storage folder

You will now see several files named Starbound.log, most of them with numbers.

Start the game, crash the bugged character, and then rename the most recent logfile, the one that does not have a number (it's just Starbound.log) to Starbound.log.txt. Open it up and COPY all the text inside, then close it (if it prompts you to save, do not do so).

Make a new post in this thread, and attach Starbound.log.txt to it. In the post, type the following markup code:

[SPOILER=Logfile][CODE]***[/CODE][/SPOILER]

Then highlight the *** and PASTE the text you copied earlier. Then click Post Reply.

 

I keep getting this bullshit sneaky url error.[DOUBLEPOST=1425571274][/DOUBLEPOST]

Can you attach starbound.log.txt to your post?

 

Here. Plus it ends there. All it says it shutting due to inactivity.

 

If you attach a post it looks like this. There's an attachment at the bottom of the post.

To attach a file, click "upload a file" below the bottom right of the reply box, and then browse to the file to be uploaded.

 

Just did, the post above you

 

Okay, this is very odd.

No mods, so that's good. All of the under-the-hood loading messages seem normal.

There should be a crash message or exception somewhere in this block of log messages, but... nothing.

Wait.

Is Naderi the bugged/broken character?

 

Yes thats the name of my character.[DOUBLEPOST=1425573605][/DOUBLEPOST]plus this is in the beginning of the code

I couldnt put it in the whole code when i pasted it for some reason.

 

Okay, but is this the character that's crashing?

You mentioned that you created a "new player" in your opening post, that doesn't crash. I need to make sure that this log file was created when you played the bad character, not the new one.

Open starbound, try to play the bad character. Let the game crash, and then post your complete starbound.log - a new one will be created for that game instance.

 

Yes Yes. Naderi is the character that keeps crashing[DOUBLEPOST=1425574276][/DOUBLEPOST]Here it is again.

Well... whatever's wrong with this character, the logfile's not picking it up. Game's not even throwing an exception, so I can't tell what's wrong or how far back the problem might go.

Well, when the crash occurs, what happens? Describe what you see on screen. Does the game close out completely, or or lock up and stop responding to the controls?

I have an idea of what might be wrong, but I need to know the symptoms of your crash.

 

It closes out completely. Only thing running is the launcher. Then the mac problem report window pops up and displays this message.

What I'm seeing is the game is recovering (and succeeding in doing so) a few files (playerCodex.db and universe.chunks). If you haven't launched your character multiple times just try using a .bak file.

 

The is supposed to be D and :[DOUBLEPOST=1425574633][/DOUBLEPOST]

And how would i do that, im sorry im very tired at this moment.

 

In your player directory find the file that is Naderia (open it up with Notepad or a word editing software) and search for the name. If it pops up its the right file. Proceed to delete that one and change 'randomnumbershereblahblah.bak1' to 'randomnumbershereblahblah.player'

 

Drat.

Well, if it's a full crash, then it's not what I was thinking.

Hold on a bit, and I'll link you to instructions to recovering your character using the .bak file - it's the best hope I can offer you at this point. The character may or may not be recoverable; I can't offer you any guarantees.

Gah. No offense, but those are really terrible instructions. Remember, this person has multiple characters, and loading the backups of the wrong one could wipe her NEW character.

Just watch this space and I'll have step-by-step instructions in a moment.

 

They have multiple characters with the SAME name?

 

They may or may not. This is why it's always good to check with a save-game editor instead of just going by the name. It's also important to back up the player folder manually before you start, so that all three of the .bak files remain useful. Every time you log in a character to see if your backups worked, it overwrites a .bak file. If you don't backup the player folder, to ensure that the .baks don't get disturbed, you could wind up destroying the .bak file that would've saved your character, while checking one of the other two!

 

Mhm, biggest issue I've come across helping in the support forums are people overwriting their bak files.

And yeah, backing up before attempting any edits is always recommended.
