[BUG] Game crash and steam connection issue (default, Linux, v1.1.1r224)

[racercowboy]

When selecting online multiplayer it says can't connect to steam. Steam seems to be working fine for other games and not set to invisible.

Also the game crashes when selecting the load button for loadouts. I noticed in the game files there's 2 folders called "loadouts". One has my loadouts from way back when back when and the other has a steam cloud file of some sort. I was able to save a loadout fine, and it appeared in the folder of my old loadouts.

Using EndeavourOS for my linux distro

Hey,

I just tried on Ubuntu with no issues. There is an intermittent issue where even though Steam is running the SteamAPI reports that it is not. I'll look into ways of improving this and retrying it when the error occurs. Restarting the game sometimes works, restarting Steam has always worked for me in the past. I apologise for the issue and will prioritise it higher. As an unoptimal work around there is a setting to disable Steam multiplayer. Without Steam you lose the global lobby and need to be on the same region as the player you're playing with. Let me know if restarting works for you.

I also wasn't able to reproduce the loadout crash. But from your explanation it sounds like it's related to a legacy issue. As you noticed there are 2 load-out folders. This is because there was a typo way back in the day. If you could provide me a log file from the crash it should be enough for me to fix the issue.

On Linux the default log file location is "~/.config/unity3d/Relative Software LTD_/CounterAttack/Player.log"

And thank you for reporting the bugs!

[racercowboy]

I posted the log file on discord since it was too big to fit here, I'll try out the work around, most of my friends are in the same region thankfully.

[Etheric]

Hey, so I did find some native Linux crashes while investigating from the log file you sent me. I'll fix the ones I found in the next update and do some more testing on Linux.

The global lobby makes it much easier to find and join games from other regions, but the "Change Region" button in the online menu allows you to change regions freely.

Did you have any luck restarting Steam to workaround the Steamworks initialisation issue? I'll continue to look into it, but more info always helps debugging.

Thanks again for providing the log and let me know if you run into any other issues!

[racercowboy]

Restarting steam doesn't fix the issue sadly, I'll have to get one of my friends to try it but it seems multiplayer may work without using steam, at least I can get into the multiplayer menu.

ran steam via the terminal to see if anything else would come up, not sure if it'd be useful but here's the output of me starting steam and running the game (had to force close the game at the end, normally it closes fine. Sometimes running steam through the terminal does odd things even with other games for me):

Thank you for the logs!

The non-steam multiplayer workaround isn't a fix as you still lose access to high scores, steam stats, achievements, the workshop, the global lobby, and Steam items. If your gametime is still incrementing (Steam shows the game running when launched) you'll get the Steam items later, so no need to worry. Either way let me know as it might help our troubleshooting.

The logs so far it point to an error in the Steamworks.net library CounterAttack uses.

From the log file you sent (thanks again btw!) there are two entries of interest:

The second one is because CounterAttack tries to access the Steamworks library without it being initialised. I've fixed this for the next patch, but it doesn't fix the root cause - that Steamworks is failing to initialise in the first place.

The

EntryPointNotFoundException

would seem to indicate that either the library (Steamworks.net / libsteam_api.so) is missing the function or that the entry point is incorrectly named/defined. However because I cannot reproduce this on my Ubuntu system, and other users aren't experiencing the issue, says it's something else.

It could be a corrupted installation. Have you tried verifying the integrity of your game cache? If not, give that a try:
1. Restart your computer and launch Steam
2. From the Library section, right-click on the game and select Properties from the menu.
3. Select the Local files tab and click the Verify integrity of game files button.
4. Steam will verify the game's files - this process may take several minutes.

If that still doesn't work, try deleting the game entirely from the file system, then either reinstalling or re-verifying. When searching around I found other people report this fixed a similar error with other games.

If it is a corrupted installation this should fix it. I have seen corrupted files happen when downloading before, with CounterAttack (personally and reported) as well as other games.

Let me know if the verifying and/or re-installation help. And thanks for your patience with the issue!

[Etheric]

It could also be CounterAttack loading the wrong libsteam_api.so
(similar issue reported here) https://github.com/rlabrecque/Steamworks.NET/issues/373

This could be an old libsteam_api.so from a previous CounterAttack installation. If so, the previous verify / reinstall steps should fix that.

Another possibility is that a similar named libsteam_api.so exists in your environment variable path and Unity / CounterAttack is loading it.

You can check this by running the command:

# find ${PATH//:/\/ } -name 'libsteam_api.so'

[racercowboy]

Verifying the files didn't catch anything wrong, but wiping and reinstalling the game seems to have done the trick, I can get online through steam now. I can even access loadouts without crashing, I guess that patch you mentioned must've be out already? I didn't notice any downloads for it.

Yes, the patch is out. Deleting and reinstalling would install the latest, so that could explain why you didn't see the patch download. It takes a bit of time from when I set a patch live until the Steam client triggers an update, but restarting the client or reinstalling the game grabs the latest version.

I'm glad it's working now! And thank you so much for all the logs/data/info while troubleshooting! And for your patience with everything!
