Hey all, I probably should have posted here a lot sooner.
Been having an issue with Dream Seeker for about a month or two now where after joining an SS13 Server for around 20 or some minutes, the game will hang. The client stops responding and nothing can be interacted with. This will last for around 40 seconds, after that the chatbox will scroll really quickly through a bunch of messages and then hang again for another another 40 seconds. This repeats for an indeterminate amount of time until it stops. The client will then run fine for a few minutes, and then it will hang again and repeat the exact same cycle.
I have tried reinstalling the game, turning off my antivirus, using older versions of Byond. The hang still persists
The issue is frequent, and has completely stopped me from playing the games I want to play. In addition, the hangs do not seem to always generate a report in Event Viewer, but I managed to get one two weeks ago:

Alrighty, followed exactly as you said and I should have the Minidump File. What's the best way to send it to you? Not seeing any way to attach files to Forum Replies or DMs. I've uploaded the crash dump to my own personal files however.
Edit: I'm dumb. I uploaded the Minidump to my One Drive, and I've DM'd you the link to the file. | |
I am having the exact same issue. It is like clockwork every 15 minutes.
| |
Wrench-1's minidump didn't show the issue so maybe you'll have better luck getting one yourself. I definitely want to get to the bottom of the problem.
| |
I am on a laptop and cant find out how to run the file
| |
Ill get you the dump file.
Some additional insights. Downgrading to 514.1543 didn't solve the issue. I am seeing this behavior on all ss13 servers I've tried. It is every 15 minutes for me which made me think its a batch job or something on my back end. Still investigating will get the dump file once I have a stable server that isnt under heavy DDOS. | |
My issue is resolved after disabling a USB Input Device listing in my device manager. There was a USB Input Device that didnt trace back to an in use device. Once disabled the process hanging stopped.

The process I would suggest is to download Windows debugging tools, open WinDbg x86, attach the Dream Seeker process, and when you get a hang, do this in the WinDbg console:
That should generate a minidump file.
