Hang after wrap around door open at croc?

[dagit]

I'm not sure what's needed to reproduce this. I was trying things out (seems like a cool project). I killed kraid. Got wave and speed. Then I went down to say hi to croc. I killed him then grabbed his etank. I then did the wrap around shot where you shoot off the right side of the screen and it opens the left side door. I heard the sound, so I assumed it worked. I paused the game to tell a friend. And when I focused the game again the music kept playing but it seemed to ignore all my inputs like it was frozen.

I tested this a bit more. The wrap around shot is not needed to reproduce this. Just fight croc until he takes a bath. Then pause the game (press start) after he starts moving to the left. The game will hang bring up the menu. The music will continue to loop but it will be unresponsive and fail to animate the map screen.

Another data point. I was in maridia, I wanted to take off gravity suit. I pressed start to pause the game and it hung.

If you can provide savestates before these hangs it would help more. Shift+F1

Steps to reproduce:

1. Download this save state: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/968026725759975437/1082800400966619196/save0.sav
2. Press F1 to load it
3. Pause the game (press start)

It should hang at the map screen. The music will keep playing but you'll have to kill the process.

I got into that state by knocking croc into the water then grabbing his etank before he finishes melting. Then pausing after he starts moving to the left.

I'm having trouble reproducing the maridia one but that save was based on the croc state. So I wouldn't be surprised if fixing the issue at croc fixes the maridia hang too. As such, I'll hold off on trying to get a save state for that one.

I hope that helps.

I'm pretty sure that whatever is going on here the underlying issue is that it's trying to read the wrong memory for the map data. The reason I suspect this is because if I pause before croc jumps in the water my map looks like this:

and if I pause (and get the hang) my map looks like this:

In particular, look at business center (the room under norfair elevator). It's trying to draw stuff in the column left of that that shouldn't be on the map. I haven't been to the map room (or ice) and there is that weird circle next to the elevator.

Can verify that it will hang even with the weird circle.

From what I remember, in the vanilla game, if you get the etank while Croc's dying, the map won't fill in. I wonder if that's somehow related.

That's a possibility, although I was able to reproduce it by staying on the ledge while croc dies. I guess next test would be to stay as far left as possible. I'm pretty sure the bad state happens during the croc melting animation. I noticed (by repeatedly pausing) that his texture gets messed up for a few frames.

Will second this issue, relating to the map information. I was playing through and tried to gravity jump in Maridia after visiting Crocomire, and the game froze (window unresponsive) while the music continued to play, while my map had these odd features off to the left side.

Thanks. This fixed it for me.
