FAQ
- How does it work?
- This server side mod uses Harmony to overwrite functions in TaleWorlds DLLs that have errors. They are created by looking at server crash dumps and stack traces, copying the code from the original DLL using dnSpy, and resolving the errors that cause the crash as a Harmony patch that overwrites the original function.
- What happens if the original functions change after an update to the server files?
- I do my best to keep the patches up to date to match the original code after releases. It is certainly one pitfall of this design, and if someone has any good ideas on how to address that, I would love to hear them
- What happens if TW Patches the issues themselves?
- I delete patches as they are fixed. One such case of this was when MissionLobbyComponent.OnPlayerKills was patched to resolve a null reference exception. We deleted this patch from the original code base this open source project was built from
- What types of errors are you fixing?
- The only types of errors currently being patched are Null Reference Exceptions. Not because that is the only type of exception that can be fixed, but for some reason that is the only exception being thrown throughout the server code. To resolve these issues, I just add more checks for null values and also add logging when the exception would have normally been hit. That allows for easier verification of if the patches are working and what null value is actually causing the problem.
- Can I contribute to this project?
- Please do. I am trying to increase server stability and assist TW in getting that stability baked into their code. See the README.md in the GitHub repo for more info
- Can I report a crash my server is having?
- Yes! Please see the instructions for the information I need to have the best chance at fixing the issue. But please be aware there are some crashes that even I can't fix. Especially related to any mods you may be running and their compatibility.
- My server is still crashing even when using this module, what gives?
- I certainly haven't caught all types of exceptions that may exist in the server code. If you are seeing crashes with or without using this server side module, please report them as an issue in the GitHub repo, and I will do my best to look into it.
