Platform | x64 | OS | Windows | OS Version | 8 |
Product Version | OpenMPT 1.26.12.00 / libopenmpt 0.2-beta26 (upgrade first) | ||||
Summary | 0001090: defective modules freeze system until reset required | ||||
Description | Loading defective/partial modules results in an endless loop which eventually leads to a complete system freeze including the mouse cursor. | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | Load the attached XM file in MPT. Please note that you probably will have to reboot afterwards. | ||||
Additional Information | Only tested with the reported version and this XM file. It is expecting 31 instruments (header) but the file ends before instrument definitions. I have not tested other module formats. | ||||
Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

Has the bug occurred in previous versions? | probably | ||||
Tested code revision (in case you know it) | |||||
If your computer freezes, this is either a driver bug or hardware fault in 99% of all cases. It is pretty much impossible for a user-mode application like OpenMPT to cause your system to freeze (unless there is a security hole in the operating system). |
|
Also, please note that OpenMPT 1.26.12.00 is half a year old now and bug reports should always be filed against the latest version (the bug might already be fixed). |
|
The module was produced by a custom unfinished tool, that's why it is incomplete/faulty. No hardware issues. I know that it should not be possible to freeze the system from user-mode but still it happend more than 10 times - and that's also why I posted it here. From what I cen tell, it freezes because of very high harddisk activity so I concluded that it got stuck in a read-loop somewhere. Anyway, we have updated to the latest version of OpenMPT now and it is not happening anymore so feel free to close this issue. |
