Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
None known
Expected Results:
That either this popup doesn't happen, or that it gives something with a bit more detail than "unspecified error"
Actual Results:
Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often?
In other games?
In other user accounts?
On other computers?
Happens at yogstation as well
When does the problem NOT occur?
When dd is not doing any cpu intensive.
Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)
We had it in 1279, and now in 1282.
I noticed that it started around the time i tweaked atmo's calculation to run every 5 frames instead of 20. So it may be related to the increased cpu usage. (this just changed cpu from averaging 7% to 30%)

Still happens in 1284.

Since SS13 uses MySQL, is it possible that this is an issue?
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/883709 The only good info I've found on this is that the "Unspecified error" pop maps to an E_FAIL message internally, which means some kind of COM object has screwed up. This may be system-specific, although since it's DD I think we can rule out many of the COM uses we have. Incidentally, 507.1285 is the newest version, although I'm certain it won't change this. | |
KB 883709 is unlikely to be the cause, as that only happens with Microsoft SQL Server on Windows XP.

Nevertheless, MySQL would be the place I'd look. I know SS13 uses it, and nothing else seems to fit in terms of possible causes. Unfortunately this error is never more specific than that, and is a mystery wherever it appears. It only seems to be COM-related, though.
