My save game keeps crashing after updating to 0.4.13

[Eric23]

OpenRCT2, v0.4.13(,DEBUG) Linux (x86-64)

My save game will crash after a few second to a minute after loading. It was working fine on the previous version. The game just quits to desktop with no warning.

I do have some cheats in use in the save, and wondering if the changes to the cheats window has broken some things?

Any troubleshooting steps would be great.

Thanks

Corrected typo in version number

Maybe you should upgrade your OS.

Is there really no way of troubleshooting my save game? Are there no log files that would give some clue to what the problem is?

If you want us to troubleshoot, we’ll need to know your distro and version.

Also, can you run the game from the command line? It often prints out information there.

Please don’t comment if you don’t understand the problem. I appreciate the effort to help, but it’s only adding confusion.

I'm running:

Linux Mint 21.3 Virginia

base: Ubuntu 22.04 jammy

I added the PPA for Ubuntu

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openrct2/nightly

I was getting daily updates in my update manager, but since the current update that broke my save game there hasn't been any more updates coming through for some reason. I believe 0.4.14 is out now, but I'm still on 0.4.13 as the new update has not come though.

I have had the game installed for over a year, maybe 2 years without issues.

It's only this one save file that seems to crash, as other saves seem to be fine, or at least don't crash in the first 5 minutes of testing after opening them.

I'm not 100% sure, but the crashes seem to happen when looking at the area of the park near the wooden hybrid coaster.

Ah right, that’s two separate problems, then.

1. Compiler troubles have recently caused us to drop Ubuntu 22.04 and earlier, including derivatives like Linux Mint. You’ll need something with Ubuntu 24.04 as its base, like LM 22.x. (So while Dubaifreak’s suggestion of upgrading was a good one after all.)

2. Could you upload the save that causes crashes? It’s possible that the crash has been solved since, but I want to make that sure.

Well that's unfortunate that you are not providing updates anymore. I wont be updating my OS until it becomes end of life, as upgrading to the newly released mint 22 will require a full clean install that I can't bring myself to do right now. I will abandon open RCT2 for the foreseeable future as updating a still supported OS just to play one game is not worth the effort.

Thanks for the eventual reply.

I can’t fault you for that. I’m not terribly happy with it either, but we’re stretched thin and sometimes have to make choices like this to keep development going.
