LaunchIntoActivity
with a bad DefaultSceneName
crashes without error report
#472

Something isn't working
Describe the bug
When a user has set the
settings.ini
propertyLaunchIntoActivity
and specified an invalidDefaultSceneName
, the game will hard crash on load without providing any feedback to the user. No RTEA Error message or otherwise.To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:
Edit the
settings.ini
file to contain the following lines:and launch the game. You'll hear the
MenuEnter
sound, as though the edit menu has opened, and the game will crash without an error display.This can occur when launching into a modded scene that is no longer present, or if a user mistypes the name of an existing scene.
Expected behaviour
The game should inform the user that the
DefaultSceneName
is invalid, or at the very least indicate that the activity failed to restart and give a user-readable abort message.Better yet, should default to the main menu and open the console to fail gracefully.
Screenshots
The offending line from debug:
Where the BuyMenu create is never called (missing this check):
This is a result of
GameActivity::Start()
returning early due to a non-zero exit status from the chain:GameActivity::Start() -> Activity::Start() -> SceneMan::LoadScene() -> SceneMan:SetSceneToLoad(m_DefaultSceneName)
where the sceneRef fails to load and is null.All of these propagate an error return status of
-1
up the stack, and several prints to console, but none callRTEAssert()
.Likely because these are used to load/reload an activity in-game (as well as on load), where the action can be aborted and errors displayed in the console, whereas there's no functionality for that here.
