[2.0.14] Crash when large blueprint preview collides with placed version of itself

Post by Silynce »

I was looking for a way to more quickly and easily create logistics request groups, so I have created a rather large blueprint with many sets of items (kind of a quick and dirty way I planned to "import" a logistic group).

I noticed while trying to edit one of these blueprints (import string attached), if I:

1) place it down in the world
2) move the preview image that is still stuck to my mouse cursor around a bit over top of the existing ghost images (or items, as is the case in editor mode),

it will cause the game to throw an unexpected error.

I was able to replicate the crash in editor mode, in a single player map, and on a hosted session. I have no mods installed, and the crash does not appear isolated to a single save or map.

To try to narrow down what is causing the error I tested a few specific items by placing a single item with editor mode and then wiggling the blueprint over it to see if I could identify the entity causing the problem. I was not able to replicate the crash when placing: Bulk Inserter, Steel Chest, or Red Underground.

I was able to replicate the crash by waving the blueprint image over top of a single placed underground pipe.

I tried reducing my blueprint down to a large set of underground pipes and pumps and then seeing if I could cause the crash that way. I was successful, but the crash seemed to require more wiggling of the preview blueprint and also required zooming the camera in and out during the process.

Video attached showing the steps to replicate. Moving the blueprint preview slowly does not seem to cause the error, but moving it quickly will crash the game (as you can tell by my mouse cursor being duplicated during the video capture at the end).

Let me know if I can provide any more information, and thank you guys for making such an awesome game!

Trying to embed the blueprint string, new to forum posting so I hope this works:

Thanks for the report. I think this is a duplicate of 116456 which is fixed in the experimental release. Please let us know if you manage to reproduce the issue there.
