Game freezes when people join my server

[birthdaybrian]

Hello, I am running the latest developer's build and when people join my server, the game freezes and will not respond. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 x64.

It's build 1679 on openrct2.com, here: https://openrct2.com/download/1679

But it is better to download the newest one: https://openrct2.com/download/latest

Windows' libraries were broken, they were fixed in 9ada346f

The same problem still occurs after I downgraded to build ed1ba15. I will upload the videos here or on YouTube to show you the problem. I have recorded the videos already.

So when are you going to release the 9ada346f update? I was just wondering.

[janisozaur]

Release? It's been available since yesterday. Otherwise I wouldn't have known the hash.

If anyone wants to see the problem in the video, I have uploaded two videos. The first video is the latest build and the second is the previous build.

When I have the latest build installed, it says build 414c97e in the main menu.

Then the build server you're using is providing broken libs. Switch to official builds from appveyor.

I just downgraded to a stable version of the game, I will upgrade once the bugs are fixed.

The problem still occurs when I am using the latest build 8ad5827.

[janisozaur]

No, it does not, you simply insist in using broken builder. Switch to official ones.

Yep, the builds on the website are currently broken due to a change in the building process. Please download this one in the meantime:  https://ci.appveyor.com/project/IntelOrca/openrct2-ject9

I'll reply on these topics when the builds on the website are working again

Good news, the AppVeyor build fixes the issues. Although many players can't join my server because I'm thinking that they don't have the AppVeyor build instead of the site's build.

[birthdaybrian]

Good news, the latest build fixes the issue.

It does not solve the problem, as the libraries are still broken and we have no way of getting hold of the person who manages the server, so we ended up applying a workaround on our side. It is still broken an will not let you join in some cases (server working, client broken).
