Summary0000635: openTTD crashes after some minutes gameplay
DescriptionopenTransportTycooDeluxe crashes after some minutes, indifferently whether one plays or not. Error message:
Killed by SIGSEGV

I am using gcc473.dll (20140205/26987bytes) from netlabs, SDL-1.2.15-20140930, and the in the readme called libc-0.6.5-csd5 (OK, *.wpi instead of *.zip).

It crashes the game only, not the system.
Steps To ReproduceStart the game and wait some (on me <2) minutes. Or play. Same result.

The Game is playable without saving. I.e. when I turn autosave=off then i can play without crash. But when i save the game (also manually), then it crash. The error seems to be in the save-routine.

Saving a self made scenario works in first tests. Network also works fine.

1.4.4 crashes when saving a game too - looking into it

In case it helps, the exception is in alloca which allocates variable sized buffers on the stack. In effect, you have stack overflow in a secondary thread (tid 6).

In alloca, ecx is the touch pointer and eax is the loop counter. Given the size of eax, I suspect that the code attempted to allocate something like 128K on the stack and thread stack is smaller.

Thanks for the tip. I tried already to bump the executable stack size, I'll take a look at thread stack size tomorrow.

hmmm from thread_os2.cpp:
thread = _beginthread(stThreadProc, NULL, 32768, this);

rebuilt with pthreads rather than os2 thread code. Now doesn't crash when saving :)

Thank you for care about openTTD! You are right, the problem with saving seems to be resolved!
But now the the game is not playable because the mouse-pointer jumps over the screen. The intro-screen which shows a huge busy city is slow down and juddery. This was fluently in Version 1.4.0. I have besides noticed that the CPU-workload in this version are slower (99% in 1.4.0 / 95% changeable in 1.4.4) and that i can't start the game (1.4.4) while Firefox is running. That operated with 1.4.0 (My Test-machine: IBM T43, 1GB RAM, 2 GHz, Ati X300, eCS 2.1). If it helps you, i will send little movies from the screen.

Please try with http://smedley.id.au/tmp/openttd-1.4.4-os2-20141217.zip

This one uses the OS/2 threading code with an increased threadstack size.

The last zip-File doesnt contain a openttd.exe...
Is it right?

Hmm, the new version stops if the focus on the game-window. If i click on the free desktop, the window with the game refresh. First stop happens while the newgrf-loading-screen is showing. The game is still unplayable, the start-screen with the huge busy city is still slow down and juddery. I can't start a new or load a game - the mouse-pointer is too jumpy or invisible.

mouse pointer is fine here with virtualised eCS 2.2. Startup screen runs smoothly, saving and loading runs fine.

On my machine sdl version 1.2.15:
sdl12.dll 30.09.2014
sdlsound.dll 09.09.2014
sdlttf.dll 09.09.2014
sdlimage.dll 09.09.2014
sdlmixer.dll 09.09.2014
sdlnet.dll 09.09.2014

This is diffrent but you had change your version since you created version 1.4.0? The 1.4.0 goes fluently here,but the 1.4.4 stops. Same computer, same system, same dll.
The difference i can see is the libc.
OpenTTD 1.4.0 needs libc065 and openTTD 1.4.4 needs libc066.

Couldn't you compile it with libc065 instead with libc066 ?

Which libc065.dll are you using?
10-26-14 20:17 157,213 0 libc065.dll
10-26-14 20:16 1,361,666 0 libc066.dll

If it's the above, then your OpenTTD 1.4.0 is using libc066 so that can't be it.

OK, you are right. Same libc's like you had. But why is the 1.4.0 so fast and the 1.4.4 so stubborn?
Hmm, now is it crazy! For a little moment (approx. 10 seconds) the game are fluently - but without focus only. The game-window was overlayed with the active editor AE. In that moment in that the focus on the game was, is the game slow down and juddery/stubborn. After closing and restart the game, it is also without focus very slow and stubborn but faster than as active window. Why that...? What is different to 1.4.0? For comparison i test 1.4.0 now and then again .

I will try and build 1.4.0 with the same GCC version and thread fix for comparison.

Done. http://smedley.id.au/tmp/openttd-1.4.0-exe-20141218.zip

Same like 1.4.4. Not playable. Original 1.4.0 from May (as per normal) without problems.
