Harg'kyth Bug (-_-#) fix it pls!

[csb]

Harg'kyth's crashes constantly on my Android phone, and on my iPad. It has been this way for a very long time. I just assumed you would fix it some day, but perhaps you cannot find the bug? I know you want us to give you a 5 star rating, but honestly, no matter how good a program is, it cannot be 5 stars if it crashes. I have a lot of apps, and they don't crash.

I'm a computer programmer, and my programs never crash once they are released. I never have regressions. Let me give you some advice to help you out.

#1. Use a component based development approach. Create loosely coupled objects that can be tested independently.

#2. The objects that you create should be cohesive. Don't create objects that are random collections of data and functions.

#3. Create unit tests for all your components. For C++, I like using cppunit, but i modified it to add extra features.

#4. You need to use programs like valgrind and Purify to check your code for memory corruption and memory leaks.

Hope that helps.

I think #4 may the most helpful in finding the Harg bug. I have no experience with Purify, it is probably pretty nice, but not free. Valgrind is a good open source tool for identifying hard to find memory and mutli-thread issues.

Wanted to add that I suspect this is a hard bug to find, much more so than most of the bugs we report. But hopefully some STS developer who likes a challenge will volunteer to take a look at it for us....please.

I was trying to help a couple people get Obsidian Lord title yesterday. He was finally almost dead, and crash! GRRRRR!!!

Why would you quit if you saw a relic drop. Maybe I am misunderstanding...but that just seems..odd.

Relic dropped for him and game crashed before he could collect.

[Phantomas]

Still... Driving.. Ppl... Crazy... Hate this bug. -.-

Hear hear, come on dev team give us at least aknowledgement u r aware of problem, and that myby u will, can do something abt it

[Malladus]

That must suck dude! Hope your friend continues to play...

[doomdoomdoom]

If you can't completely avoid the entire crash....it would be helpful if you could please modify the code so that if the game does crash you don't get a death added to your stats.

[Rite]

FFS fix this damn bug already.
Come on STS, this is and has been a big problem for LONG time.

[oaseiasi]

Dayum this still going on, I feel like punching my computer.

[Contravention]
