![]() Where I (finally) got into the game without a crash after fixing two previous issues, and then crashed… as soon as I pressed throttle!Īddressing that mistake in files of course helps, but ideally CFG parser should be updated to properly handle these cases (this game hates null terminated strings! Why?).Īgain (most likely) related to CFG file parsing. Unfortunately, this seems to be the case with at least 3 CFG files in the game – and it’s been a cause of a rather comical crash during testing, Annoyingly, tokenization does not seem to stop at a null terminator, so if the file does not end with a newline, Once again, my fix is to strncpy one character less and zero the last character on my own.ĬFG reader used by the game seems to tokenize lines by newline characters. Once again, logic in here is off by one – before being overwritten by zero, it is possible for the last character from src to be copied, and size + 1 logic present in the code once againĪttempts to copy character from memory which may be invalid! It doesn’t matter that it is being overwritten shortly after – any attempt to read from invalid memory may result in a crash. ![]() Strncpy_terminate(dest, src, size) appears to be a custom string copy function, which copies up to size characters from src to dest, and then overwrites the last character in dest with \0. Turns out, there are a lot of places in the code which do things like:ĭest = ( char * ) allocateMem ( size + 1 ) this -> text = dest strncpy_terminate ( dest, src, size + 1 ) this -> text = '\0' Crashing function was very suspicious, but I quickly identified it as memmove. With memory debugging tools enabled, I couldn’t even get to the game. Several hours of debugging, poking the game with different tools and disassembly analysis resulted in several findings: There is a noticeable amount of random crashes, which seem hard to reproduce – documented issues may be one of several reasons behind those. Please think twice before calling somebody out on “how buggy the game is”.įor the record, none of the found issues are normally fully reproducible, so it’s not like the game crashes for everybody all the time. Bear in mind that this is a code inherited from another developers, so most/all found issues trace back to the original game and not Raxat’s take on it. Of found issues, it may get very technical.ĭISCLAIMER: Although I am pointing out bugs in the game, its developer should not be blamed for them. Thankfully Raxat, main developer, is active online, so a much better way to help is to relay found issues directly! Therefore, since this post is meant to work as a documentation Of course! A new SilentPatch is out of question however – the game is still being maintained, so SilentPatching it could potentially turn into a non-hostile game of cat-and-mouse. However, it appears like game got just a bit less buggy than it used to be years ago… There is no better way to reunite with a game after years than to buy its digital re-release, and so I did! (like forementioned v2.2.1 MWM and v2.3.0). This was made obvious by the amount of official patches the game received, as well as numerous modifications overhauling the game and fixing some of its long standing issues However, this game has one major problem – it’s absolutely riddled with bugs! The game has been around for a while but this version has received many upgrades, new features and bug fixes making it almost as good as new.Concept of this game is pretty great, and I have pretty fond memories of playing v2.2.1 Miran Wichur Mod (yet another unofficial patch/expansion to the game, made by fellow Poles) around 2006. You can even install a whopping V-8 engine if you want. Automatic, semi-automatic and manual transmissions are all catered for. There again, you might want to make your car the best at cornering on some tracks. Some will mean you want pure raw power, others will demand straight-line speed. Essentially, it is about trying different combinations of upgrades to create the best car you can for the race concerned. If you have ever wanted to prove your abilities with an oily rag and a spanner set, then this game is for you. ![]() Ideal for anyone who wants to explore their inner mechanic, Street Legal Racing: Redline v2.3.1 gets you tweaking engines, fine tuning braking systems and upgrading electrics in a career building format that takes time to master. ![]() Street Legal Racing: Redline v2.3.1 is a simulator game in which you act as a motor mechanic preparing cars for cool races and drag events.
