[0.17.12] [Linux] Game froze when I was placing belts

[Ayamari]

I wasn't doing anything complicated, just laying down another line of belts when the game froze. I waited a few seconds, thinking it's just the usual save game hitch, but when nothing happened, I tried to minimize the window to see if it would react. The window resized, but Factorio remained frozen. I had to kill the process, which worked, but it did not create the usual stack trace on death. Before killing Factorio, I briefly checked gdb, but nothing stood out to me. None of the previous 0.17.x had any freezing issues. I updated my Nvidia proprietary drivers a week ago, but for the past week I was playing previous 0.17.x versions of Factorio and there were no freezes. Log attached. Attaching also the quick inspection from gdb.

Thanks for the report, but I figure anything from the log currently. If you can't reproduce it, lets move it to pending. It is quite possible that it is related to some of the other problems we fixed for next version.

[Ayamari]

I played over 15 hours of 0.17.14 during the weekend, and there were no freezes. This morning I played around 1.5 hours of 0.17.15 and there was a noticeable hitch for around 2 seconds (which was not an autosave, autosave triggered around 30 seconds later), but no freezes. I'll post updates if I get a freeze again.

[Ayamari]

I am sorry for resurrecting this, but I only now noticed it's still as "Pending".
Turned out that PC had bad RAM and I replaced it a few years ago. I no longer have access to it, and haven't seen anything like this in the last few years either.
