Dear community, Version 1.9.13, a stable release, is now ready for download in the account manager. [Edit:] Also released v1.9.14 to fix tool molds no longer working properly. This is a minor update that's just above the threshold of worth releasing. Mostly to fix/improve some very specific corner cases. No need to install if you're not affected by the changes. In other news, progress on version 1.10 has been decent! Since the last blog post lots of cool new stuff has been added, such as the concept of cellars for preserving food, the static translocators that you could already find in v1.9 are now repairable and colored light sources can now be acquired in survival mode by applying colored glass to lanterns Screenshot by @Eypsilon Game updates Tweak: Undo one performance optimization from 1.9.12, only report I got is that it caused intermittent lag for two players Fixed: A minor privilege escalation issue on multiplayer servers. Nothing world-breaking but would annoy other players if not fixed. I recommend server owners to update to this version. Fixed: Game crashing when right clicking with chisel in hands while not looking at a block Fixed: Chiseled blocks were not reinforcable API Updates Feature: Tool molds can now have multiple drops Fixed: Game crashing when using shape: { voxelizeTexture: true } on block types Fixed: Error reporter just rendering a black square when there were too many log lines, now capped at 180 lines View full record

Correct. There are certain code paths where a 3rd party error would crash the game and certain code paths that don't crash the game. There's not much I can do about that on the game engine side. I would need to add thousands upon thousands of error handlers to accommodate for every possible 3rd party error, from what I can see. And v1.8 and v1.9 crashes with the same error as above? It would be helpful insofar as to figure out what part of the software chain is to blame.

Fairly sure its somehow caused by the operating system or the environment. Do you happen to have any other linux distri available to test on? I think with the clientsettings.json present it just crashes earlier, after all, in the logs we can see in both cases a BadAtom error. Either way I reported the bug here: https://github.com/opentk/opentk/issues/937

Hm odd. First time I see such error. What OS are you on? Looks like some other people had this issue before with other Projects using OpenTK but it was never found: https://github.com/opentk/opentk/issues/408

Currently temperature should not play a role, no. If the crop is gone but a seed bag on the ground, its quite likely that a hare visited your crops.

no, it should work with the same world

Dear community, Version 1.9.11, an stable release, is now ready for download in the account manager. the next major feature release, v1.10, is under development for the past few weeks. Besides some engine upgrades, food spoilage and the new in-barrel crafting mechanic is close to done already, but there's still lots more planned. Until then, have a v1.9.11!. It fixes a few rare crashes, adds a few new blocks to survival mode, should improve bow and arrow and I also backported some of the performance improvements. [Edit:] Also release v1.9.12 to fix a server exception and all shingle blocks not listed in the handbook! Game updates Feature: Added shingle blocks crafting to survival mode Feature: New painting titled 'Fish and the Rain' Tweak: Performance Tweaks Perhaps slightly reduced lag spikes while discovering new terrain or while chunks are loading. Running the game with "optimize ram" off uses RAM a bit more liberally to perhaps gain a bit of extra stability. (Technical explanation: increased chunk data cache sizes) Intermittent lag spikes and/or heavy short term ram usage should be slightly reduced (Technical explanation: found and removed a major contributor to short term but rather heavy memory usage) Framerate should now be additionally a bit more stable while VSync is enabled, probably most notable when the CPU is bottlenecked (Technical explanation: disabled Thread.Sleep() from the core game loop to hit target frame rate while in VSync mode) Tweak: Gameplay balancing tweaks Decreased underground ruin spawn and certain ruins rich in loot being too common Bow strength increased by about 15% (arrows shoot further), Increased durability by 33% Tweak: Damage vignetting a bit more flashy Tweak: Placing a knapping surface in water no longer leaves an empty block, the water flows back in now Tweak: Added debug log to track down a crash related to clay forming Tweak: Updated translations Tweak: Updated ruin loot. also fixed some dungeon loot only ever had a stacksize of 1. This was not intentional. Tweak: Added gear and painting category for stack randomizers. Tweak: Improved fox and seraph watering animations Fixed: Arrows hitting a bit more reliably and acting less derpy Fixed: Able to chisel claimed and reinforced blocks Fixed: Might fix some odd rare crash when using a temporal gear Fixed: Should fix getting attacked causing players to get pushed into walls Fixed: Typing .reload crashing the game Fixed: Should fix a rare server side exception (OnGameWorldBeingSaved: System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteException (0x80004005): Library used incorrectly) Fixed: Iron doors not lockable Fixed: Wrong texture scaling on the chisel tool API Fixed: api.Event.PlayerChat - message not modifiable View full record

I did already, stroam

@Saraty Correction: They don't actually test the block they are on, but which ones they would be in. Currently they can spawn inside air, tall grass and snow. I'll make it so that they only spawn inside tallgrass and snow. Until the next release @Peter Berry, make your your farm is enclosed so no animal can get in and keep it decently lit. They will not spawn if there is significant block light. Other than hares there should be nothing else that would cause your plants to pop off.

Ow, I should prevent that. As a quick fix you can delete this line in the clientsettings.json "dialogPositions": [], ...or delete the entire file, but then you'd loose all your settings.

Lively Community, Version 1.9.10, an stable release, is now ready for download in the account manager. Yet another game stability update. This is likely one of the last minor updates for version 1.9, as I'm slowly mentally preparing for the next major update - for which we aim to add food spoilage, food preparation and seasons. By the way, lots of nice screenshots were shared on our discord server, such as his neat home by @Romec Game updates Tweak: Added /emote laugh and /emote rage Tweak: Updated Portuguese translations Tweak: Tweaked flint drop rates Fixed: Should fix harvesting carcasses throwing an exception on the server and disconnecting the player Fixed: Should fix a rare random client crash Fixed: Game crashing when attempt to place an upside down stairs path block Fixed: Might fix issues with VSync not applied properly on startup (only after disabling and enabling it again) Fixed: Missing naming on wooden slabs Fixed: Should fix one case of the game crashing when panning with the neolithic mod View full record

Hi @Bogus, just this morning we discovered that for another player using a GTX 2080 with intermittent lag spikes the problem went away when completely removing the nvidia graphics driver and use the default one from Microsoft Windows instead. This seems to hint at the fact that there is a graphics card driver problem with (semi-)modern nvidia cards. You could try above method or try to reinstall and/or update your graphics card driver.

Strange. It did indeed set something else. Vsync mode "Adaptive", whatever that is. Now set to "On" on startup for v1.9.10. Lets see if it fixes that. Thanks for the report!

Oh wow, wicked. I bet its one of those weird generation bugs that only happen once and cannot be reliably reproduced every again Could you regenerate the world with the same seed and check it generated the structures overlapping again? There is code specifically to prevent overlapping, I wouldn't know why it failed on this occasion.

Hi @ResFu, thanks for the bug report! This is now fixed for the upcoming v1.9.10

Gladly! Happy to hear that we could give you a joyful experience

One of these days should be yesterday The trader however refreshes its stock only every 2 ingame weeks, so it might take a while until the trades disappear from old worlds.

Grandeur Vintarians Version 1.9.8, an stable release, is now ready for download in the account manager. [Edit:] Released v1.9.9 to fix the following issues: Fixed: Game crashing when trying to put feed into a trough Fixed: Able to pour solidified metal in a crucible Fixed: Heating stuff on a forge then taking it off changed its temperature (client<=>server temperature desync) Tweak: Boosted hare hurt sound Game updates (v1.9.8) Feature: Added 3d models for harvested carrots, onions, parsnips and turnips Tweak: Placing/Taking firewood from a pile animates the fp hand Tweak: Butterflies pitch up and down a bit when they fly up or down Tweak: Updated translation files Fixed: Harvesting dead animals yielding only half the drops Fixed: More derpy player animations when using a tool + torch in off hand Fixed: Should fix a rare random crash Fixed: One empty space missing between name and text in the chat hud Fixed: Removed some useless / incorrect items from the trader tradelists Fixed: Butterflies now fly off if the flower they sit on was broken Fixed: Game crashing when right clicking on a translocator Fixed: A few memory leaks less Fixed: Game crashing when resized to a very small window Fixed: /land claim grant <player> all did not grant use permissions Fixed: Butterfly chase-of-death Fixed: Game crashing when resized to 0/0 size Fixed one trader settlement type not spawning traders API Fixed: Bulk block accessor calling OnBlockBroken/OnBlockPlaced before all blocks were placed API Fixed: capi.KeyUp was not fired on key up events but on key down events View full record

hm yea, I have to admit, it is really hard to read out the problem despite my logging efforts. Now it looks like its caused by the 3rd party library - OpenTK. I will try another approach. One of our team member seems to also have issues on a Macbook, perhaps I can get access to that one with Teamviewer and spend several hours testing there remotely. I'll definitely let you know if I found anything.

From what point on did the problem start?

uhm, no its pre.4
