Wagic - Game Crash at Startup

[Dr.Solomat]

I have now tested all sets that i released and i can say: Everything perfect! No crashes!

These non-official sets are: Apocalypse, Exodus, Future Sight, Guildpact, Planeshift, Stronghold, Urza's Legacy, Urza's Destiny, Visions, Weatherlight and Portal Three Kingdoms.

All of his looks pretty random (race condition?), and it should be tested with PSPLink.
When I have the time I will add as much sets as possible in my collection and try to see what is causing the crash.
If ind it funny that so many people are able to reproduce the bug, while it never happened to me even once, on neither of my two psps (and I play everyday )

Since I add the bug with only 3 custom set installed, could it be that the bug is also dependant of you collection.dat ?

I got more than 8000 cards in my collection... and I used also to have no zip file (I'm currently changing)...

Grüssi

I believe it's a race condition. It also depends on the weather and the color of your shirt
More seriously though, it's a bit like the "chickHen" exploit. It depends on the state of your Ram, and "unfortunately" so far I was too lucky to get that bug. So yeah, the "collection.dat" could have an impact on that too.

It seems to be linked to the music thread in the application, so I'd be interested to know if people deactivated music in the game and STILL have the crash.

if someone can zip their "crashing" WTH game folder (the ENTIRE THING) and upload it, I'll see if I can recreate it.

The game was freezing for me too when I first loaded it but I noticed that it was freezing on certain sets then just shut down. So, what I did was this: simply replace all the images in the set directory (both thumbs & normal images, sadly couldn't get .zip reading to work even though it was placed correctly) then loaded it up and it passed that set and did it again on one more set, I did the same thing (replaced the images) and it worked fine.

you replaced the images (both thumbs & normal images) with... ? With what? Nothing?

If you were using winRar to create the zip be mindful that the program defaults to creating rar files, also make sure the zip compression is set to "store"

Another problem I had was I kept putting my files in a folder then zipping them. This creates an extra directory and wagic wont be able to find the image ie. "ARB/ARB.zip/ARB/111.jpg". The trick was to select all the jpgs and the thumbnails folder directly and create an archive instead of selecting the folder they are in.

this crash is beyond randomness.....

okay, i went from crashing, to not crashing, to crashing, and back to working properly, then more crashing and now working again.....As with my intial problem, the only constant is music stopping either during set load screen or on the "alpha note."
i cannot find any trigger for the crash, even when removing all sets except RV and deleting track0.mp3 and track1.mp3. this hurts my head.... can we name this something fun??? (i vote mindlock orb crash)

i have tried different variations, using the forum d/l and nyghtcrawler's d/l , with different sets, i cannot reproduce the results consistently with any guarantee of a crash, i must have done this a hundred times, with different cfw (ps 5.00m33 is most stable, 5.03TPD shaky, 5.50 GEN-A build 4 shaky)

one thing I can state is if you change nothing, eventually the game will load. however, that stability can come and go........

anything else i can look at for you??

Whoops, I forgot to mention that I downloaded the files from the "Real Magic" thread and that fixed it for me, sorry about that.
