I found this topic locked with no indication that it should be. If I'm mistaken, please re-lock and accept my apologies, but unlocking for now

The crashes where you have to wait until the next day to reboot are typically thread deadlocks. We have never been able to get a reliable reproduction case for this type of problem.

Without a reliable reproduction case, the prospect of fixing this is very slim indeed.

The server does not reboot immediately after the crash.

Whether the crash always happens when multiple people chat within a period of time or what said period of time might be is unfortunately a lot trickier to say. With the server not rebooting quickly (and my failure run a connectable-to server), we couldn't really test this to the degree necessary to determine that.

I, too, thought it unlikely at first, but after many crashes – and discussions on what we were doing at the time – it is difficult to come up with any other explanation. Of course, we can't be 100% sure since each crash has happened while playing the game rather than intentionally trying to crash the server.

I have moved this to the Standard bug reports section, since the Steam version is Standard, not Extended.

Me and Oof laddie have been crashing Bridgewater-Brunel a lot lately, and the only explanation we can come up with for it is us chatting at the same time. Here's a link to a save I made after the latest crash. In case it matters, I'm using the Linux client.

Thank you for the report.

Can you confirm whether the game reboots immediately after the crash or whether you have to wait until the next day?

Also, does it *always* crash when more than one person sends a chat message within a particular period of time? If not, there is a very high chance that the chatting is not the cause of this and a lot, lot more work will be needed to find the cause. 

(The general principle is that, to be confident of finding the cause, we need not only evidence that is consistent with it being the cause, but evidence that is inconsistent with anything else being the cause).

Bug Reports / r11731 - crash convoy filter

Last post by Andarix - July 03, 2025, 09:48:56 AM

The filter for stations and convoys is linked. If I change the filter for a station, the filter for the convoys is also changed.

Stations now have the connections filter, but this is missing for convoys.

If the filter for stations is set to connections and the filter button is clicked for a convoy, Simutrans closes.

In my opinion, this linked does not make much sense.
