so i’ve been experiencing this fatal crash in the game for long time (possibly 6 experimental build i’ve played has this crash happens randomly) and i was believing that this crash happens because something is wrong with the way the game generate map (segmentation fault) and the way the game register attack to enemy (when i hit an enemy after travelling far away the game crashed) until i decided to check debug log and see what caused this random error…

## what i found is 21 line of error saying (ERROR GAME : the blob tried to find faction blob which wasn’t loaded in game::monmove) and ended in : 22:47:59.184 ERROR GAME : (error message will follow backtrace) (@0x54e78e[cataclysm-tiles.exe+0x14e78e]), (@0x54f089[cataclysm-tiles.exe+0x14f089]), (@0x5f44c7[cataclysm-tiles.exe+0x1f44c7]), (@0x605c0d[cataclysm-tiles.exe+0x205c0d]), (IMG\_LoadWEBP\_RW+0x5d7ce3@0x133c8a3[cataclysm-tiles.exe+0xf3c8a3]), (@0x4013e2[cataclysm-tiles.exe+0x13e2]), (BaseThreadInitThunk+0x12@0x7765343d[kernel32.dll+0x1343d]), (RtlInitializeExceptionChain+0x63@0x77b99802[ntdll.dll+0x39802]), (RtlInitializeExceptionChain+0x36@0x77b997d5[ntdll.dll+0x397d5]), Backtrace emission took 0 seconds. src/game.cpp:4158: game:monmove: pigeon can’t move to its location! (67:119:0), pavement 22:49:54.784 : Log shutdown.

turns out a pigeon can’t figure out how to move to pavement…

Q. Why didn’t the pidgeon cross the road?  
A. src/game.cpp:4158: game:monmove: pigeon can’t move to its location! (67:119:0), pavement

It ruins the joke if you explain it, though.
