[Resolved] X:Rebirth does not start anymore due to test_txc crash

[-=FL=- UniversE]

After the most recent system update of my Fedora 40, X:Rebirth does not start anymore, because test_txc is crashing due to a violated assertion in libdbus (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdbus-1.so.3.19.17).

Code: Select all

X Rebirth$ ./test_txc 
dbus[4307]: arguments to dbus_connection_unref() were incorrect, assertion "connection->generation == _dbus_current_generation" failed in file ../../dbus/dbus-connection.c line 2833.
This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library.

Probably that assertion was not there in previous builds of libdbus, so test_txc got away with it.

Is there anything that can be done? Wouldn't expect to end my X:R revisit so soon after buying the the last missing DLC

Today's patch resolved the issue.

That is so great. Support for such an old game is beyond amazing


The only remaining crash is when shutting down the game. But that is a) not a real problem and b) also happening in X4. Just for documentation purpose, here the stack trace:

Thank you for your report. Great that the patch fixed it for you. We've made a note of the crash but as you mentioned, being on exit it's lower priority right now. If I get time to look into it, I shall though.
