Hi there

Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this or if this questions should have been posted somewhere else however for a while now I am having some odd issues with EECH crashing randomly. Tried to troubleshoot the problem (different settings, different OSs, drivers, etc etc). Sometimes I can plan the route across the whole map and the game will not crash, now just a few minutes ago the game crashed after 2 minute flight ?? Found out that there is an error loging option in EECH.ini and the most recent error I got from the log is:

ASSERT 'index >= 0' (E:\Temp\00_EnemyEngaged\EECHSourceCode\modules\3d\3danim.c:217)

Will try to crash it again with the error loging on to see if this occurs again. So far I had the crashing happening with autopilot on, without the autopilot, different maps, different weather conditions, etc.

Currently installed EECH 1.16 and running with Rapota's skin pack, AH-64 hi res cockpit, and hover mod ver 16. PC specs: I7-3770K, GTX 1060, 16GB of Ram, Win10 built 1909. Same issue existed on my old rig with AMD cpu with NVIDIA graphic card (could have been someething like 980).

Any ideas? Once I got that sorted I can possibly get my flight stick built and hopefully start recording some videos.

Thanks guys

This safe trigger from function get_texture_animation_number_of_frames tells you that some model uses broken texture animation.
Unfortunately, it may be any mod you have installed. Or even not related with this assert, but stock 1.16 should be pretty stable.

Thanks. It appears that it's always the same issue as I've left the sim up and running for a while and it crashed with the same error (which is annoying but good). At least I know the issue is linked to the same problem instead of being a random pile of #%&*$# errors biggrin

Luckily I have got "a few" clean installs zipped so will start from 1.16 and move from there (or might event go standard EECH from my original disc and deploy each 1.16 mod at the time to eliminate the issue).

If at some point you'll come up with some random but brilliant ideas please give me a shout.

Cheers
Pat

Hey. I'm getting back into EECH after not playing for years (I think we were on 1.14 or 1.15 or something like that last time I played) and I am pretty much having the same problem.

ASSERT 'index >= 0' (J:\EECH\git\eech-master\modules\3d\3danim.c:217) in the debug log. Have had it multiply times now, and its the only one I have gotten.

Did you ever find out a solution or what was causing it PatrykW?

I have build 1.16.1 with CIS Helicopters Skins, Clouds 1.0, Dynamics Config 1.16.1, Rapota Mod Pack, US/UK pilots skins, Water Textures, and CO-pilot and Betty sounds for US Side. Installed them through the allMods installer.

Thanks for any help you can provide; and it's awesome seeing how far EECH has come and that its still being worked on.

Like thealx said above, it must be one of the mods you've used that uses some texture animation. My guess would be Rapota Mod Pack, or maybe CIS Helicopter Skins. You could try another installation folder, and leave those out and see if it happens.

What were you flying when it happened?

I will try a clean install and go one mod at a time, was just hoping someone had narrowed it down to what mod was causing it.

But so far its happened in the Apache, Comanche and Super Cobra (I literally just started playing again the other night). It's never right away though, most recent crash I was flying the Comanche on a CAS mission engaging tanks on the Lebonan map and it just crashed. The time before I was just flying the Super Cobra on the Taiwan map when it crashed. Soooo...yeah. Your guess is probably better then mine at this point.

I've spent about 10 hours in the game just before release, didn't have such issue even once, so I still guess it's some mod issue. from that list, these mods may have broken animation: CIS Helicopters Skins, Rapota Mod Pack, Water Textures.

it will be ideal if you will try clean 1.16.1 first, if it's fine - install mods not from the list above, and last - mods with possible issues one by one.
As an option (not a solution) enable autosave feature with short period - like 5 minutes.

My bet for apache model or soldier. Rapota did movable wind sensor in the apache,this is probably it.

I had a look at what was included in Rapota's mod for texture animation. He added winter tank track textures TRAK0001-W.bmp, TRAK0002-W.bmp, TRAK0003-W.bmp.

However, in the code there are only references for normal and desert tank tracks, so this might be the cause. I'm not sure though, as there are winter textures for other things. You could try deleting those files from cohokum\graphics\textures\animation (just the ones with -W), or replacing all the TRAK files with the originals, and see if that solves the crash.

Hi,

Fist of all, THANKS to all guys who keep alive this venerable sim!

About this crash, I was having exactly the same error, in my case I solved it setting the option "dwash=0" in "EECH.INI" file, so in my experience it was not related to any mod. On dessert maps error was very rare, in fact, I notice this random crash only after finished a Yemen campaign.

I hope this info can help.

Regards

many times I read about ctd downwash problems. for many years, something is probably wrong with this option.I think even you mentioned something once.
