What happened?
I apologise for opening another report when there is one already open regarding this, but I have made an odd discovery in regards to this crash.
Me and my bro have been doing a lot of RE1 non door randomisers lately and we have found that getting this crash to happen in the Barry choice cutscene in the cave (room 308) has been unreliable. On my recent playthrough I made my way through as normal, but making new saves each time just in case the crash happened... and it did.
After much (and I mean a stupid amount of) trial and error I found the most bizarre thing causing this cutscene to crash.
The only time the cutscene would crash was when I killed this one particular enemy in room 205, the gas puzzle room. I've attached a picture of the zombie in question.
You can test this yourself and I hope that it repeats the same way on someone else's system. I've attached three saves.
Jill_03_2024-11-28 14^24.10.dat = Before Snake 2 and before doing the gas puzzle room. Jill_04_2024-11-28 14^39.30.dat = After Snake 2 and killing said zombie in the gas puzzle room After Snake 2Jill_03_2024-11-28 16^56.06.dat = After Snake 2 without going in to the gas puzzle room.
Jill_03 will not crash in room 308 as the cutscene will not happen. Jill_04 will crash in room 308 because I've killed that one zombie After Snake 2Jill_03 will not crash in room 308 as I have not killed that one zombie.
You can test this by loading After Snake 2Jill_03 and teleporting straight away to room 308. The cutscene will play. If instead you were to go to the gas room and kill that one zombie and then teleport to room 308, it will now start crashing with that error popping up.
I have tried many other scenarios too with this room 205 just incase. I have tried: Entering and leaving with no kill = no crash Entering, viewing all backgrounds, no kills = no crash Killing the other two zombies only = no crash Killing the other two zombies and completing the puzzle = no crash Killing all of the zombies = crash Killing all of the zombies and completing the puzzle = crash Killing only that one zombie = crash
I hope this helps!
Thank you for isolating this. It may well be a bug where it is corrupting memory, and it isn't the only one in this game, or in the series. RE3 had one too. I might be able to patch the .exe to prevent it.
I've just had it crash in another seed:
R810-2QEQ-WCZX00ZZZBGZ2H00031JMW4Q4G4ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ420YZZZZZZZ
This one was easy to find as the crash would happen after killing the zombies in the ladder passage 307 room. I was unable to determine which zombie though as their placement made it harder to kill one by one.
Thought to record on here another one of these crashes where I've found the enemy to be causing it, in case it helps.
R810-F1GA-WEZL40ZZZBGZ2H0003182X4Q4G4ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ910X9NZZZZZ
After doing the snake 2 fight and waiting for Barry to return, if you kill the hunter that is stuck spinning around leading to the back door in 10A Back Passage then you'll receive the /horr/jpn/24.tmd crash in the Caves.
This was on version 3.3.0.
