Retroarch has stopped working after roughly 45,000 frames into any ROM

Gaimgeek · 25 April 2017 05:37

Hi Guys! Going to preface this with an apology if this is the wrong section for my error or if I there is another topic/thread which covers it. I have looked and found heaps regarding crashing when loading but never after a duration of use

System:

Surface Pro 4 i5-6300U CPU @2.40 Ghz, 8Gb RAM, 64-bit OS Intel HD Graphics 520 (Driver: 20.19.15.4463)

Issue:

I load the Retroarch client and it works fine. I load a ROM and it works fine, I have frame count and fps enabled After approximately 45,000 frames I get “Retroarch has stopped working” crash. This is not exact, sometimes its as low as 30k frames when it drops out. I have experienced this crash with every ROM I have used; though please note I’ve mostly been trying SNES ROMS.

Actions thus far:

I have played around with changing shaders/drivers inside Retroarch but I’m really just guessing and its difficult to test every combination as it takes 10-15 minutes of game play per test to get to the 45k dropout zone. I have updated my graphic drivers to their latest version I have updated Retroarch to the latest nightly version (24.4.2017)

Thoughts so far I suspect its a graphic/shader/driver issue based on the crash log however I dont understand why it takes so long to crash out. I didn’t notice the issue at first when I was installing/testing ROMS because I didn’t spend enough time on a single on to experience it. Thus, if I load a ROM, play for 5 minutes (about 10k frames) and exit to Retroarch GUI and load another ROM, play for 5 minutes; rinse and repeat x10 times I get no crashing. Only if a single ROM runs for ~45k frame duration.

UPDATE: I left Retroarch GUI running in GUI mode only (No ROM) and it crashed again.

Thanks in advance for any advice/suggestions!

Looks like it’s crashing on dinput stuff. Can you try going into settings > driver and changing the joypad driver from dinput to xinput (and if that doesn’t help, try sdl)

Gaimgeek · 25 April 2017 05:16

@hunterk thanks for the quick reply! I tried both drivers and it didn’t work. Just disabled the game pad.

Gaimgeek · 25 April 2017 05:38

UPDATE: I left Retroarch GUI running in GUI mode only (No ROM) and it crashed again.

Gaimgeek · 25 April 2017 12:42

Further Update:

I went to the ONLINE UPDATER and updated the ASSETS, AUTO CONFIG PROFILES, SHADERS

I deleted any system processes that were touch related.

No changes

I downloaded a debugger (GDB) and loaded retroarch_debugger through it to see what was causing the issues and quite suddenly I could get past 70k frames.

I quit GDB and loaded retroarch_debugger and it made it past 70k.

I loaded retroarch.exe and made past 70k.

I restarted my surface, assuming it had something to do with deleting the processes. Once I restarted I tested retroarch.exe and still made it past 70k.

So, this is where I am. I have no idea how I “fixed” the issue so if/when it happens again I wont know what to do. I cant repeat the error.

I will update if anything further happens worthy of note. Thanks for your time and patience!

I’m getting the error again. I ran the debugger and got the following issue:

RetroArch [INFO] :: Trying to write to playlist file: C:\RETRO\content_history.lpl [Thread 3796.0xf28 exited with code 0] [Thread 3796.0x136c exited with code 0] [Thread 3796.0x16b4 exited with code 0] [Thread 3796.0xf40 exited with code 0] [Thread 3796.0x17f4 exited with code 0]

Thread 22 received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. [Switching to Thread 3796.0x378] 0x00007ffc07122891 in ?? ()

Segmentation fault?

hunterk · 25 April 2017 13:38

Looks like you’re using the executable with the debug symbols stripped out (hence the ??). Can you try to reproduce using the retroarch_debug.exe instead?

Gaimgeek · 25 April 2017 13:43

I was using that one?

These are the commands I used:

gdb retroarch_debug.exe run --menu --verbose

Should I alter this? (apologies for being a bit of a noob)

Gaimgeek · 25 April 2017 14:06

Using just the retroarch_debug.exe --menu --verbose

I get:

RetroArch [WARN] :: [GL debug (Medium, API, Performance)]: API_ID_RECOMPILE_FRAGMENT_SHADER performance warning has been generated. Fragment shader recompiled due to state change.

Before crash.

Gaimgeek · 26 April 2017 01:54

I feel so foolish.

I didn’t install the REDIST pack as I was following an online tutorial that didn’t mention it. Which will explain most of my errors.

So I installed the REDIST pack from libretro and Retroarch Version 1.5 and we’re stable past 1.5mil frames.

Thanks!

wertz · 26 April 2017 02:21

you dont actually need “redist” pack if you used the full Retroarch.7zip download. if you updated with only the nightlies (the retroarch with a date in filename) then you need the redist especially if updating from the older 1.3.6
