[Rednukem] Addons folder preventing game from launching

Open Oplexitie opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Build : January 5 2023 - r13373

Description: Trying to launch the game with a custom game directory selected (even an empty one) results in the game refusing to launch, but occasionally functions for no discernable reason. This issue appears to have been present since I downloaded the source port, although it's gotten worse over time. Going from occasional, to constant failures to launch the game.

Stuff I tried out: I tried multiple things to no avail, like deleting the addons inside the addons folder, I deleted all the cache files, rebooted my computer (the game ran once after a reboot but wouldn't launch again after that), ran the game in admin mode, changed the directory of the game. I then decided to check if this was a regression of some kind, since EDuke32 works fine on my computer. And from my testing, it seems like it was, all builds before October 15 2021 work fine for me, and don't have an issue with my addons folder.

If this can help in any way, here's an entire log file when the game fails to launch. It seems to indicate when the issue occurs.

PS : Autoload works perfectly, and that's what I've been using in the meantime.
