Summary |
0001778: Hiscores file corruption |
|
Description |
A recent episode of scores corruption on CAO left a broken scores file, with Crawl asserting and dying every time it tried to read the scores file. While the broken scores file existed, no games could end (because Crawl asserts and dies before it can delete the old save files).
I've attached the broken scores file. The broken line is the one that starts with a :
We probably need to consider:
1. How the scores file got corrupted in the first place -- possible a race condition or some other bug in the hiscores code.
2. Crawl should not assert for broken scores lines, and simply discard malformed lines silently. It would still be good to find and fix the source of (1).
For the moment, I've disabled hiscores generation on CAO. |
