terminating with uncaught exception of type std::bad_cast: std::bad_cast

I'm trying to run a Satisfactory dedicated server on ARM64 (4 cores 24gb of RAM). I'm using box64 and box86 to boot the server. Whenever I do, it crashes with this error message: " terminating with uncaught exception of type std::bad_cast: std::bad_cast". I was told to put this here, sorry if it's in the wrong spot.

That's fine, you are in the right place (I asked you to create the ticket here :) )

How did you install that Satisfactory server? using steamcmd or something else?

I installed it with steamcmd running on box86, then ran it using box64. I'm on ubuntu. Full error is:

terminating with uncaught exception of type std::bad_cast: std::bad_cast Signal 6 caught. Malloc Size=65538 LargeMemoryPoolOffset=65554 CommonUnixCrashHandler: Signal=6 Segmentation fault (core dumped)

FWIW, I'm running into the same issue

I am also having this issue, hope my logs can provice help to wy it doesn't work and how this can be fixt

I'm trying to pull the same stunt, and I'm dealing with the same error.

For reproduction:

• Create a free server on Oracle Cloud (4 Ampere aarch64 cores + 24GB, Ubuntu Canonical)
• Install box64 and box86 using the custom repos
• Move the Satisfactory Dedicated Server to the server (I couldn't get SteamCMD to run, but it's not required)
• Run (I use BOX86_NOBANNER=1 ./FactoryServer.sh just in case)

My output looks very similar to the second hastebin posted by Quinten above. I believe the actual error occurs on logline 521.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help and thank you for your hard work!

Same error, following this guide to setup an environment: https://github.com/Raezroth/Linux-ARM-Gaming-Chroot/blob/master/README.md . Then installed SteamCMD, downloaded the game and started in the chroot env. Crashing with

Any updates on this? I basically want to do the same.

Is it still happening?

Is it still happening?

yes it is

Mmmm, ok. I'll install Satisfactory on my arm test machine and will give a it try

note for my that is I am trying to run the server not the game itself

Yeah ok. There is a separate download on steam for the Dedicated server, so I'll use this

So, I did try and indeed I get Segfault. After some analysis, t's a cycling lib dependancly: A use B, and B use A. Not sure how I will handle that.

How did you identify this? Just out of curiosity. I am not a C expert

That's not the whole story. (I found at using gdb, it was obvious there). Once I workaround this recursive lib stuff, I actually get the std::bad_cast: std::bad_cast message. So, I need to check what's wrong there too.

Any updates ?

I did some debugging, but didn't found anything conclusive. I'm still unsurre why it happens, I need to speed more time on this.

Is there any possible way how we could help ?

Not sure. The exception occurs during the initialisation of lib. I really haven't found enough detail yet. I suspect it's an issue with the elfloader / librarian, with somehow an issue with a wrong symbol being used. But I really need to put more time in this to really get the symbol being executed that launch the exception. It's a dynamic value, not a static one, so I need to analyse (unless someone with debugging knowledge and good understanding of the ELF structure and runtime linking want to take over)

No updates right ?
