[Crash] Keep getting a fatal error: The memory could not be 'written'.

tomoraider · Dec 19, 2015

Hey everyone, I keep getting a fatal error when testing a part of one map I'm currently working on and I have no idea why. I've tried disabling some triggers, removing some spells from units present, but I still can't figure it out. I'm not sure what is causing the error, because it never happens in the same moment, though it only happens during this part of the map so I'm gonna list all the new triggers and things that happen during this part:

1) There is a trigger that every 16 seconds orders multiple times a random unit from a unit group to attack-move to a random point in a region.

2) A trigger that adds -1 to an integer every time a unit owned by Player 4 (Purple) dies and updates the leaderboard.

3) A trigger that plays a soundtrack every 71 seconds. Doubt this one is causing the error because it's used throughout the entire map.

4) A new hero also appears at this point in the map who has these abilities: variations of Summon Water Elemental, Feral Spirit, Devotion Aura (just different names, icons and units summoned) and Ethereal. Could any of that possibly be causing the error?

Here's also the error message I get:

JASS:

Thanks in advance, if anyone would also like to check out the map, I can PM it to you.

Radicool · Dec 19, 2015

Send me the map and I'll take a look. You should try disabling ALL triggers to see if the error is coming from triggers. Rarely errors can arise from non trigger related causes. Good idea to rule that out first.

Dr Super Good · Dec 20, 2015

Unusual error. It is not a null dereference, but rather a dereference of some random unallocated page. Or so one would think, WC3 has been known to report the wrong errors before.

Make sure you are not doing something stupid like "Player(random number >=16 or <0 here)" since that native dereferences an array without performing bounds checks.

Warseeker · Dec 20, 2015

It's not about those triggers above, this fatal error happen to me as well (Violation) try to re-test the map after a while, even if she crash once try again, that's usual for me

tomoraider · Dec 20, 2015

I tried it out without any triggers running at all. I had the same units fight the same enemy units and it crashed! What could be the issue, then? A broken spell, maybe a model causing an issue?

Warseeker · Dec 20, 2015

Wait... did you say model? Well he probably is the issue, If it's a new model (imported), he will cause this crash if he still have some geoset animation remaind on the model
I don't know if you use Mogos to edit model? Anyway, if you use it
Open this model/Geoset animation/ check if there still some geo anim that refer to none geoset and remove them (those none geoset)
This should fix the problem if it's about a model

tomoraider · Dec 20, 2015

Well there are no models that I created/editted, I'm only using models I downloaded here from Hive, and as far as I know, all those work properly.

Warseeker · Dec 20, 2015

Well maybe there still some models who still missing some edit (Older models, Pending) I recommand you to export that model who cause the crash and edit it and then you will see

Edit : Send that uploaded model in your map by his link (THW)

tomoraider · Dec 20, 2015

I didn't say a model is crashing the map, I only asked if a model might be causing the crash. Anyway, I don't think it's a model because I just tried the map with default models only and it still crashed.

Warseeker · Dec 20, 2015

4) A new hero also appears at this point in the map who has these abilities: variations of Summon Water Elemental, Feral Spirit, Devotion Aura (just different names, icons and units summoned) and Ethereal. Could any of that possibly be causing the error?

Well yes sometime models cause crash for maps, Anyway, it's probably something else...

Sclammerz · Jan 27, 2016

If you still looking for a solution, you could check out this thread. You could find your answer here.

PublishedShadow · Jan 27, 2016

This isn't part of the above list, and I'm not sure what causes it or how common it is, but I've also seen structures that train units crash the game when being selected because of one of the trained units.

In that persons' case it happened to be a modified campaign unit that was causing it, though I don't know why.

Acutesharpness · Jan 27, 2016

Possibly check some interactions with Ethereal I think that sounds a little fishy ;p

SAUS · Jan 27, 2016

Is the buff for summon water elementals and the aura the same? That can probably crash the game. Is feral spirit a summon spell as well? Check the buff on that as well.

Sclammerz · Jan 28, 2016

Well, I was just wondering about this.

4) A new hero also appears at this point in the map who has these abilities: variations of Summon Water Elemental, Feral Spirit, Devotion Aura (just different names, icons and units summoned) and Ethereal. Could any of that possibly be causing the error?

6. Certain summoning spells, but not all, if set up with an invalid unit type, will crash the game when cast.

[Crash] Keep getting a fatal error: The memory could not be 'written'.
