[ FF7 + Echo-S ] Crash when loading voice file

[petfriendamy]

Occasionally, while playing with the Echo-S mod, the game will crash when attempting to load a voice file. This usually seems to happen after playing the game for a while.

Using 7th Heaven v2.3.1.101 with the latest FFNx canary (v1.9.0.198). I've attached the 7th Heaven applog. I also had FFNx generate a crash.dmp, and have included a screenshot from that. If you need the whole file, let me know, I've just left it out for now because the file size is over 1GB.

I wonder if this is related to #273

What do you think @myst6re ?

[julianxhokaxhiu]

@petfriendamy I think you uploaded the wrong log file, because the one in the issue is about 7th. Please upload the FFNx.log file. If the size is too big, consider zipping it or using 7-zip and zip it as 7z.

Moved this issue into a discussion as this is related to 7th and not only FFNx on its own.

Sorry, all these logs get a bit confusing, haha. Here's the FFNx.log:

Actually, the log was pretty empty--I guess I'd run the game again since I made the report--so I did another playthrough just now until it crashed again. Interestingly, the crash happened at around the same time (just after escaping the church with Aerith).

Looks like it crashed when trying to play a voice file. Please enable trace_voice and try again. Post the log when it crashes, thanks.

Got it:

Does the file F:\Games\FINAL FANTASY VII/voice/chrin_1a/9.ogg exist on your disk? As this Echo-S is using 7th, you might as well check if 7th is really passing correctly this file to FFNx.

[petfriendamy]

There is nothing in F:\Games\FINAL FANTASY VII\voice\ except a config.toml file. Maybe it is a 7H issue, then?

[petfriendamy]

Okay, for the sake of objectivity, I copied most of the Echo-S mod files to the Steam version, removing 7H as a factor. Still crashes. (Though it made it further into the game this time. Not sure if that means anything?)

Please try the latest Canary and let me know how it goes. It should prevent crashing, but you might not hear some audio files ( voice files in your case ). If that happens, please check the FFNx.log file for any ERROR that looks like this: Cannot load path/to/file.ogg with vgmstream.

[petfriendamy]

Good news, it didn't crash! Instead, it got to the point where it usually crashes and stopped playing voice files altogether.

Thank you, I'll try to improve the error message with more context so we can understand what is going on.

[julianxhokaxhiu]

Allright, please try with the latest canary, and as soon as it happens again please send the log!

[petfriendamy]

Here you go! I tried playing a bit longer this time to see if the voices would come back on the next screen, but they did not.
