| Summary | 0016089: Too Many Threads crash | ||||
| Description | I get a game crash when attempting to play AI War. Today, I launched the game, and it opened. It began the "Loading items from disk" process. Once it was close to completion (Only about 200-400 items left), it brought up an error message. "Error in GC. Too many threads." I have the game installed through Steam. I opened the game properties, and told Steam to Validate Local Files. It did, and found 1 file, but did not disclose which. It said it would be re-acquired. I watched steam do a very quick download, and I re-launched the game. Same error. I restarted my computer. Same error. I uninstalled the game, and reinstalled it through steam. Same error. I was playing a multiplayer game the night before, and went to bed immediately after I stopped playing. I haven't made any system changes or software updates, either. | ||||

Hey there, sorry about this. Please see my response here: http://www.arcengames.com/forums/index.php?topic=16845 Huge apologies for this! There is a workaround in that thread, though, that should work for you. |

The fix is out! You can restart your steam client to force a quicker update. Thanks for your patience. :) * Our recently-added ArcenAsyncFile was causing some crashes in cases of extreme numbers of threads being used over a short period of time. ** It appears that the version of Mono included in Unity 3D does not handle thread disposal quite like normal .NET does -- and peculiarly, always reports the number of threads as 0 rather than whatever the real count is. So that was... problematic to say the least, when we wanted to instantiate a lot of threads and then destroy them. Instantiating them and then reusing them was what we had tried to begin with, but there were some unexpected hangups there as well. ** What we're now using, which seems to work great, is the ThreadPool class, which is part of Mono/.NET that is specifically aimed at doing this sort of thread reuse in the first place. It seems to work exactly as advertised, fingers crossed. ;) |

The workaround worked perfectly. And, I'm glad to hear that the fix has rolled out. I'll test it here in a little while. |

Can confirm, patch works with preload all images enabled! The AI is back to dominating the galaxy |

Awesome! Glad to hear it. :D |
