KNOWN ISSUE: Weekly Event Can Crash After Picking Up Skulls

Update:


We are aware of and investigating a crash that can occur while playing the current Chaos Wastes weekly modifiers, and picking up Skulls (from the Skulls event).

The error the crash reporter will show for this crash will appear as:
[Script Error]: foundation/scripts/util/error.lua:26: Can't initialize an already initialized mutator (hordes_galore)

We’re working to resolve this issue as swiftly as possible. Apologies for the inconvenience in the meantime.

Thanks for the report! We are investigating.

Just in case this happens to be mod-related, if you disable your mods, does the crash still occur?

Issue Type (Required):

Chaos Wastes

Issue Description (Required):

Skull pickup crashes game in the weekly wastes mode since today’s implementation.
Usually the 5th skull but sometimes the third.
Seems like it’s the buffs that do it.
Can usually just pick up one for the first buff but it guaranteed crashes at the fifth if you pick them up fast.

This is an XBOX issue as far as I’m aware.

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

Start weekly wastes, pick up every skull you see, game crashes immediately.

Platform (Required):

Xbox

Issue Type (Required):

Chaos Wastes

Issue Description (Required):

Game Hard Crashes when collecting 5 skulls in Chaos Wastes Weekly Mutator

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

Enter Chaos Wastes Weekly Mutator (tried only as host)
Collect 5 Skulls
Game Crashes
[Script Error]: foundation/scripts/util/error.lua:26: Can’t initialize an already initialized mutator (hordes_galore)

[PC] Do You Use Mods? (Optional):

Yes, and I’ve tried disabling them

Hi @Latlanc,

Thanks for the report! It’s unusual for some reason the screenshot of the crash report doesn’t include a GUID string that we can use to search up the crash info.

If possible, can you please provide your console log from the session this crash occurred? It’d be very helpful for us to be able to investigate this.

Much appreciated. We’re investigating the crash and will hopefully have a fix sussed out soon. Apologies for the inconvenience in the meantime.

Issue Type (Required):

Crash - During Play

Issue Description (Required):

Picking up deamon skulls crashes game in wastes weekly mode since weekly changed this morning.
After picking up between 3 and 5 skulls game crashes on xbox.
Does not effect main campaign.

Reproduction Rate (Required):

5th skull seems to be the magic number, but 3rd occasionally triggers crash

Wrong category.

You guys need to make the category choice legible for mobile.
It’s just a bunch of overlapped gibberish when you try to choose a category.

Tested it just now, game crashed the moment I picked up 5th skull even with mods turned off.

While we work on a permanent fix between the ‘Send in the next wave!’ modifier and the event Skulls, we have swapped the weekly modifier to ‘More specials’ to prevent crashing.
