Help! 0 A.D. Doesn't Work! (Any Longer)

[Xogamer]

I closed the game after a freeze/crash while I was playing on a 2v2 map that could be very laggy and then I couldn't open the game so it keeps giving me the following error log:

Please help me!

Workaround:

Reinstalling 0AD and starting mods using the command line will do it:

/path/to/pyrogenesis[.exe] -mod="public" -mod="optinonally_another_mod"

Whenever you configure mods using the Tools & Options -> Mod selection you need to only save the configuration and restart. *

Alternatives:

The proper fix is to start using SDL2 and wxWidgets3 (but note that Atlas Editor support on Linux is still broken).

If you are stuck with SDL1 (e.g. Ubuntu 12.04), then use one of the backports of SDL2 by fabio or yashi.

If you have SDL2, then enable --sdl2 support when building the pyrogenesis engine (pass --sdl2 to update-workspaces, see Build Instructions).


Yashi, fabio and historic_bruno have already spent lots of effort in fixing it and have succeeded to fix the Windows issue using SDL2. You may notice hotkey or text input issues though. Please post back discovered bugs in ticket #2041.

For players willing to play anyway: just select the mod, enable it, use the "Save configuration" button and relaunch 0ad.

This error doesn't look like the crash that occurred with the mod launcher. I think this is something different (and probably with Alpha 16)

[Radagast.]

Possible, the error output in the OP was not very helpful and it didn't state A16 anyway so I switched into self-criticism and thought it must be due to the Mod selector. Sorry for the noise.

@OP: Can you provide more info? The workaround reinstalling should still work though, but it's unclear where the issue arose from. Perhaps some files went corrupt.
