steamclient.so causes Eversion crash

[k1ll]

When I choose Time Attack in the menu and press space to start it the game instantly crashes. Everything else works fine and I was able to play through the normal game.

Basically it crashes at steamclient.so when we ask for leaderboards. OSX used to have this issue, but I'm pushing an update today that fixes this (new libsteam_api.dylib and a small type change for Ruby OSX fixed it for us). Linux still has the issue with the newest SDK.

[gdrewb-valve]

How do you get to Time Attack? I can start a new game without an issue, but I don't see a Time Attack option.

[flibitijibibo]

Time Attack's only unlocked after finishing the game, so here's a save (warning to others: spoilers be here):

http://www.flibitijibibo.com/everSave.tar.bz2

Just put the save.sav in Eversion's root directory and Time Attack will be available.

[gdrewb-valve]

I can repro the crash. It looks like Eversion is calling GetUserAchievementAndUnlock time with invalid parameters (pchName is 3 instead of a string pointer).

[flibitijibibo]

Yeah, that's what we used to have in the OSX version... but the call we're making there is

SteamUserStats()->FindOrCreateLeaderboard(
    name, // char*
    k_ELeaderboardSortMethodAscending,
    k_ELeaderboardDisplayTypeTimeMilliSeconds
);

The first call right after we log "Finding leaderboards", should be the last line in LOG.TXT in the Eversion directory.

This happens with the latest SDK, but I think the one on Steam now is a few versions behind.

[gdrewb-valve]

Are you certain that you are not compiling with headers from one SDK but linking with libraries from another? Have you mixed or updated any SDK files on the machine you're compiling on?

[flibitijibibo]

Well, it's fixed. Not sure how to explain this: the SDK headers and library were both up to date, but after compiling the game again, it's happy. Didn't make any changes, but it seems to work now, so I'm happy!

Will give this build to Guilherme now, should be up soon.

Thanks, closing this.
