[FIXED] IE & Firefox crash with unity 2.5

alia · Post by **alia** » 26 Mar 2009, 15:36

First up, great work with this! Just started with this last week.. and damn it makes it easy.

Anyway my process is something like this:

1. Login
2. Use ProcessQueuedEvents in Update()
3. Deregister event handlers and Logout
4. Close tab
5. No profit!!! Actually it crashes the browser after a few seconds.

[Edit]
Any chance this is related to the previous crashes reported here or more likely a new 2.5 bug?

Cheers,

A.

Hey

Does this happen with your game, or with one of the examples/tutorials? Windows or Mac?

In general - Firefox crashes in any Unity program where a null pointer exception is thrown. Its internal exception handling sucks

If you can, try to run the game in Safari and look in the player log. It should handle the exception nicely and even report where it came from!

Yeah safari is nice.. ... and yay it crashed.. not sure what GLib is in this case... Glib/GTK?

I added a Disconnect() after the Logout() and its all good.

Code: Select all

void OnApplicationQuit()
{
   smartFox.Logout(); 
   smartFox.Disconnect();
}

Cheers,

Alia

Do you have an onApplicationQuit() - or what it exactly is called (from top of my head). You could also add a Disconnect there.

If the tutorials work on your machine, then try to look in them and mimic what they do.

I havent tested the tutorials on a Windows with 2.5 (API released before 2.5). So would be nice to know if there is an issue there
