Crash when adding to config

Open SigurdCole opened this issue 7 years ago • 10 comments

First off, this utility is amazing, thanks so much for all your hard work!

I'm playing single player, so I've tweaked the settings and configs pretty extensively. So far I haven't had any problems, but when I tried to add the lines from Beacon's Game.ini to my existing one, ARK crashes - doesn't even hit the title screen. Even adding a single line makes a crash.

I've thrown my config into Pastebin here. Any pointers?

edit: I'm using Structures Plus, Platforms Plus and Platforms anywhere, but I don't think they affect the beacon drops.

I'm sorry, no, I cannot see any problems.

Is there anything else I could provide that would help track it down? Or is it just a mystery?

edit: sorry, let me go about this the other way. Here's what other info I can think of that's relevant.

What I did:

  1. clean install of Beacon
  2. loaded the 'estimated defaults' from the library
  3. edited them to only ever give blueprints

Also, I've tried to place them in a few different spots in the configs, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Thanks! Any thoughts would be appreciated!

This started happening to me as soon as the new update for Beacon was released. The application work fine until I regenerated the config.

Here is my Beacon File: http://wikisend.com/download/180072/Good.beacon Here is my Game.ini: https://pastebin.com/TSavatDm And here is my error: https://ibb.co/mrSgZa

Great app. Thanks in advance!

@SigurdCole, can you post a screenshot of your crash? I'm curious if it is the same.

Sorry @RudiVuuren, that was intended for the original reporter.

Sorry about that, thanks for your time and effort!

Sure thing, here's my error.

Yep, same crash as everybody else. It doesn't even look to be loot related, as it's crashing while loading a material.

I have switched Beacon to use class strings again. No need to download a new build, just open your file and export again.

Loaded smooth. I'll confirm actual beacon drops later, but no crashes! Thank you!

I got the exact same error when regenerating the ini file and pasting its contents in my game.ini file. I then removed all my configuration in my game.ini file and only pasted the generated code of Beacon. It finally launched. So after re-pasting my configuration AFTER Beacon's configuration, the game didn't crash. And yes, all my configuration works perfectly - for each beacon type, loot crates and bosses.

Thank you so much @thommcgrath!
