Everything else is without errors. I ran KSP with administrator permissions. Tell me what else do you need, I don't know where Principia's window is, but I believe it refers to in-game once it's loaded. If that's the case, then I can't record journal since the game crashes before loading.

[eggrobin]

That looks like snippets the error.log from some crash folder.
Random snippets of logs are not usable (in particular, we need the base address of the DLL to interpret the stack traces).
Please post the files you were asked to post.

Tell me what else do you need

You were told what we need already, please read the relevant section of the FAQ again: https://github.com/mockingbirdnest/Principia/wiki/Installing,-reporting-bugs,-and-frequently-asked-questions#reporting-bugs.

Give us Player.log (attach the entire file to this issue, don’t try to figure out what is relevant), the file from which you got what you posted (again, the file, not snippets), and the glog INFO file corresponding to that run of KSP.

[pleroy]

How could the instructions for reporting bugs be clearer? "Put the contents of the [crash] folder on gist." We'll need all the files in that crash folder. Not bits and pieces of one file, not what you thought might be useful. Just the entire contents of all the files (that's crash.dmp, error.log and Player.log).

[ConstantCrashSuffering]

No need to be rude. I had trouble enough finding where this thing is supposed to be. Answering your question, you could maybe be clearer by listing what items exactly you are referring to. One by one. Because I don't know if you are talking about LocalLow or about Local. Or if I have to do anything else, what specific steps do I need to take.

For example, upload these items:

All three at C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\Squad\Kerbal Space Program\Crashes\Crash_2024-08-25_113132639:
Crash.dmp crash.dmp
Error.log error.log
Player.log Player.log

At C:\Users\user\AppData\LocalLow\Squad\Kerbal Space Program:
Player.log

[eggrobin]

 I don't know if you are talking about LocalLow or about Local

Neither do I, because this appears to have changed (I don’t think we hallucinated the path %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Squad\Kerbal Space Program\Crashes, so I guess this was the correct one at some point in the past decade).

listing what items exactly you are referring to

Thanks for this feedback; we are updating the guidelines in https://github.com/mockingbirdnest/Principia/pull/4081/files, they will now list the three files by name.

[eggrobin]

Well, finding all the pieces of those Unity crashes is becoming an ever weirder puzzle: the Player.log from the crash folder has no stack, and seems to be truncated even before the Principia base address was emitted. The dump has a base address for principia.dll, namely 00007FFAC1310000; feeding that to the stacktrace decoder shows me the same thing as the dump, namely:

Principia/ksp_plugin/interface.cpp

Lines 398 to 404 in 8833fd0

	Iterator** const collided_vessels) {
	journal::Method<journal::CatchUpLaggingVessels> m({plugin},
	{collided_vessels});
	CHECK_NOTNULL(plugin);
	VesselSet collided_vessel_set;
	plugin->CatchUpLaggingVessels(collided_vessel_set);
	*collided_vessels =

Principia/ksp_plugin/plugin.cpp

Lines 776 to 793 in 8833fd0

	void Plugin::CatchUpLaggingVessels(VesselSet& collided_vessels) {
	CHECK(!initializing_);
	// Start all the integrations in parallel.
	std::vector<PileUpFuture> pile_up_futures;
	for (auto* const pile_up : pile_ups_) {
	pile_up_futures.emplace_back(
	pile_up,
	vessel_thread_pool_.Add([this, pile_up]() {
	// Note that there cannot be contention in the following method as
	// no two pile-ups are advanced at the same time.
	return pile_up->DeformAndAdvanceTime(current_time_);
	}));
	}
	// Wait for the integrations to finish and figure out which vessels collided
	// with a celestial.
	for (auto& pile_up_future : pile_up_futures) {

Principia/ksp_plugin/plugin.cpp

Lines 836 to 839 in 8833fd0

	VesselSet& collided_vessels) {
	PileUp const* const pile_up = pile_up_future.pile_up;
	auto& future = pile_up_future.future;
	future.wait();

This appears to be the same bug as https://discord.com/channels/319857228905447436/480397772248580098/1272550374384865292 reported by @Starcatcher2009.

The Player.log from LocalLow has a stack, which is different from the one in the error.log; it is presumably from a different crash; the timestamps look different, but also jump four hours at some point, so I am not sure what to make of those.

Interestingly, the version of MSVCP140 is the same as the one used by @Starcatcher2009: 14.36.32532.0.

@ConstantCrashSuffering, can you try updating your Visual C++ redistributable? https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe (see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#latest-microsoft-visual-c-redistributable-version).

[ConstantCrashSuffering]

Visual C++ redistributable x64 was the issue. Thanks for the help. Did I miss a readme or a dependencies document where it said it had to be installed? Maybe a popup on opening the game with the mod installed for the first time.

I understand that this was trivial for you, but I don't know what C++ is or how it works, and programming is something that is out of my reach, so sorry if it felt frustrating to help me. I thank you for your free work and for making this project open for everyone to enjoy. Take care.

[eggrobin]

Did I miss a readme or a dependencies document where it said it had to be installed?
Maybe a popup on opening the game with the mod installed for the first time.

You did not miss anything, you had it installed (there would have been a popup if you hadn’t installed it).

It seems that you had a version from May 2023, whereas we are building for a very recent version.
This should not be a problem, the C++ runtime is supposed to be compatible across these versions.
It seems however that there were changes in the relevant parts of the code of Microsoft’s C++ runtime in the intervening time; perhaps they had a bug, and they have fixed it; alternatively, it is possible that they screwed up and introduced an incompatibility.

I understand that this was trivial for you

To be clear, this issue was not trivial at all; since @Starcatcher2009 had given us a similar crash dump, we had spent a few hours earlier today investigating this, eventually looking at Microsoft code rather than ours; once I got the right files I was able to tell that yours was the same issue.

I am glad that updating the C++ runtime helped; this seems to be one of these rare cases where, while it is someone else’s bug, they fixed it without us needing to lift a finger.
