Game won't progress past the splash screen

Unity Engine
,
1

Hello all,

Right now, the game won’t progress past the splash screen when launched on the phone. It runs well in the editor and android, no problem. In fact a couple of days ago it also ran fine on WP8.

So I launch the game (from VS or the phone) and it just hangs there at the splash screen for minutes, doing apparently nothing. Below is the debug output from VS when I do a debug session. There is no indications of what might be going on at all.

Does anyone has an idea of how to fix this issue?

Best,
Alain-Daniel

Hi,

after updating Unity to 4.3.3, did you rebuild the project cleanly in a new visual studio directory?

3

Yes, a rebuild to an new project doesn’t work. Also removed all the scenes from the build and to use a single empty scene. Doesn’t work either. Next step is to recreate the Unity project, but that’s also a guess. Anyone with a hint at what might be going on will have my eternal thanks.

4

Recreating project definitely should not be needed.

Could you set debugger type to native in Visual Studio Project Properties, run the project until the crash happens and then paste the log here?

5

Great idea about the Native debug, it offers the first clue as to what is going on! I pasted the entire output below. There is an exception thrown toward the end indeed. It is of type EETypeLoadException.

The problem seems related to the project itself (since Angry Bots is running fine), so this points toward a library I guess?

I have narrowed the problem down to a single library: Unibill, version 1.3.7. Without the library or with a version predating 1.3.x, the game starts normally. I can trigger the behaviour at will by adding/removing the library. The problem occurs before any of my code gets a chance to run, during the Unity boot process apparently.

Also note that the exception thrown in this case is different than the one I documented above. So I have added the relevant tags to the different logs below in the hope that comparing them might reveal different issues? I’m not entirely sure if the problem is the library itself or in conjunction with another one.

I have contacted the developer and pointed him to this thread.

I have the same issue, although with a different cause. I’ve spent the day removing whatever plugins I can however nothing has fixed it yet.

I see a COMException at the end, preceded by a single EEMessageException. This issue didn’t occur in 4.3.1, and we skipped 4.3.2. The same issue exists if build to an empty directory and use that.

The game appears to freeze on the splash screen, and the log is as follows:

@adbourdages:

This is expected. You can’t mix-match plugin versions, that’s not allowed. The Assembly name, version and strong name (if such) of the Plugin/WP8/.dll must MATCH the one contained in Plugin/.dll if the .dll name matches.

@quandtm:

Could you set debugger to managed (since exception seems to occur on WinRTLegacy.dll, which is managed assembly), then go to Debug → Exceptions, place a checkbox on “CLR exceptions” and then try running the project? Debugger should catch the exception and you will be able to inspect it. Report any details back.

9

I did as you suggested and checked the box next to CLR Exceptions (Thrown), and changed back to Managed debugging and no exception was caught.

For reference I am building using VS 2013 (no update) for a Lumia 920 running GDR3. We’ve also tested this on a 920 running GDR2 and the same issue occurs.

Here is the log from that run:
(I have included the thread exit message which I omitted from my previous log)

That’s strange… Must be a bug on our side. Can you report it with a repro attached?

When it crashes on native debugger, does the native debugger catch anything? If so, could you paste the stack trace?

11

Mea Culpa, this is my fault as the developer of Unibill.

An MSBuild script was packaging up the Debug Windows Phone 8 DLL in the last point release.

@ adbourdages will contact with updated package.

To anyone else affected it’s fixed in Unibill 1.3.8 which is pending approval, or contact alex@ballatergames.com with purchase receipt for a unitypackage.

12

I have submitted the bug with repro, case 587272.

Sorry I didn’t see the part about the stack trace earlier, this is all I get under the native debugger:

KERNELBASE.DLL!77571eda() Unknown
Msvcr110.dll!_CxxThrowException(void * pExceptionObject, const _s__ThrowInfo * pThrowInfo) Line 152 C++

The native debugger is the only one that catches anything, and all it catches is Microsoft C++ exception: Platform::COMException ^ at memory location 0x07A2F924 after the EEMessageException (which doesn’t break).

13

Thanks, we’ll look into it.

Hi, my bro.

I’ve solved a similar problem yesterday. Thanks to the help of Unity developer. I did this:

Copy the project as backup.
Delete everything in Library folder.
Upgrade my Unity to 4.3.3.
Open the project with the new Unity. Every asset will be re -imported. Build the project to a publish folder you like.
Open the vs-project you published and set the configuration to MASTER.
Run on your device.

Note: Apart from this, you MUST delete everything in your publish folder every time before you publish WP8 project. Otherwise, your game is very likely to stuck at the splash screen.

Then, everything is OK.
