[Resolved] Minidump Error w/Novus Modpack 1.1.1.4

tjwmagic

Description of problem: Failed to write core dump (Minidumps)

Version-Release number of the service / modpack (if applicable): Novus Bevo 1.1.1.4

Server / Modpack where the issue arises (if applicable): Starting Minecraft and/or joining Alpha server. Sometimes out of nowhere in the middle o the game.

Steps to Reproduce issue: Just do anything and hope it happens. Haven’t found a pattern to the crash.

Actual results: Minecraft crashes to launch.

Expected results: Able to play game no problem

Crash-Report (if applicable) added to the report as a pastebin.com link. http://pastebin.com/PVRfmRpk

Additional info: From stuff I seen online, it says to re-install Java. Update Java, and even go into the bin > Natives and delete the sound files (OpenAL32.dll and OpenAL64.dll). When I delete the sound files Novus works. However, that means you don’t have any block sounds in Minecraft at all. Pretty much, I have gone through 3 pages on a Google search.
I did have this bug on version 1.1.1.2. So I don’t think it is related to the new update. I currently run Windows 7 x64. Don’t want to upgrade to Windows 10. Too many bugs and it is not happening. The weird thing is, sometimes I get this bug and I can’t play at all. Other times, I don’t and I can play for hours on end.

@tjwmagic
So wait are you saying when you go into the novus bevo alpha server or when you even start up the modpack?

@SkyKingAgan IF you saw on Bent’s post, they will be looking into players frequently timing out.

Josh. I’m saying people need to stop putting this on the forums, make tickets if they want to, and be quiet because, yet again, BENT SAID HE WAS LOOKING INTO THIS!

@tmax_hand It has happen when the modpack starts up, when I go into the alpha server, or even a single player world. I did just get this error while running The 1.7.10 Pack. I wonder if maybe it is with Java and not Minecraft.

@EVERYONE ELSE: This is not the place to be complaining about the Novus Bevo Servers. The support forms are for getting help with your game not running, crashing, etc. Please take ALL complaints to the complaint department (Trash Can). Our staff here at United World Miners are doing their best to fix this issue and they are working around the clock. A server of this size is hard to manage so just bare with us.

@tjwmagic and i really want to thank you guys for your work. I had a FTB server myself and I know how much work it is. Especially with a not learning community.

Could it be that the update of the pack leads to the sevverproblems ?

tmax_hand

Um. Josh TJ isn’t a staff he’s just saying stop complaining because its annoying. and also BENT IS LOOKING INTO IT FFS STOP! and yes, it COULD be, josh, but more likely it isn’t since TJ said he had this problem BEFORE the update as well.

Bent

Hey there @tjwmagic ,

thanks for the detailed report. My first guess would be that there might be not enough RAM for the modpack. How much RAM have you set designated to the technic launcher?

tjwmagic

@Bent I currently have 8 GB of RAM installed. I usualy run TS and a game recorder while running MC. I haven’t had this problem with standard MC.

Minecraft Windows - Default Size
Stencil Buffer - Enabled

I wonder if Stencil buffer might be causing it. I will check that out.

tjwmagic

So I turned off Stencil Buffer and changed the RAM amount to 5 GB. Still crashed.

tjwmagic

I was able to play on the Alpha server for about an hour without any Minidump error after restarting my computer and running with 5GB of RAM for Novus. I would have tested longer but I think the server crashed.

Bent

Okay nice, if it works that’s nice. The crash might also indicate faulty hardware (RAM) but that’s only an assumption. Let us know if you have any other issues :slight_smile:

The server is up and running so I assume that issue has been fixed.

tjwmagic

Ill bring home my RAM tester from work and check that out. This is a new computer.

Bent

@tjwmagic Okay then this should for sure not be an issue but you never know :O

You might also try memtest (it’s a live ISO that can be flashed on any USB drive).

If it works now with 5 GB of RAM that’s fine. You could also set -Xmx5G as an additional JVM argument in the Technic Launcher. This limits the JVM’s max memory so that there is a hard upper limit which will fix potential memory overflows.

Just as a side note: I like your professional way of reporting issues, we need more people like you ;)

tjwmagic

I am going to proceed with hardware troubleshooting. I got that minidump again today.
