Pressing F4 to use F3 camera causes game crash

Unread post by Kilabarus » Thu Oct 17, 2024 7:33 pm

Today I was playing lobby and got game crash after pressing F4 to use F3 camera
Similar game crash happened before and I saved video of it (today I wasn't recording sadly)

Do you have any keybind under left-ALT? Because alt-F4 is obviously causing an immediate shutdown of the game.

No I don't but that's a good point bcs there is nothing after the crash, I mean no error message, similar behavior as Alt+F4, obviously I wasn't holding alt when crashes happened but it may be smth for developers to look into

I rewatched the video from my post and noticed that on 5:56 I most certainly alt-tab back to the game then I don't press F4 the whole race until the moment of the crash so my theory is that alt-tabbing back to the game in the moment of loading the track can sometimes make the game think the alt is pressed when it's not

Hello,

I have been able to reproduce the bug consistently and I have identified the root cause of the problem. Thanks to Kilabarus for mentioning ALT+TAB. That is indeed the issue.

Steps to reproduce:
  • Start a new Multiplayer race.
  • Press TAB to start the race, and then use ALT+TAB to focus out of the game.
  • Immediately after, use ALT+TAB into the game again. As the race is loading, the game will not immediately show you the loading screen. It will take several seconds until it snaps back and the game window regains focus.
  • Hit F4.
  • CRASH!
This bug will be addressed in the next update.

Thanks for reporting.
