Burst crashes on an AMD Phenom II

since @xoofx is enjoying his holidays, I am opening this thread as a reminder

one of our users experiences hard crashes on his PhenomII. The dump files should help.

 

We tried to downgrade to 1.0.4 but we're getting this compile error:

Library\PackageCache\com.unity.burst@1.0.4\Editor\BurstAotCompiler.cs(638,32): error CS7036: There is no argument given that corresponds to the required formal parameter 'exceptionType' of 'BuildReport.AddMessage(LogType, string, string)

I'm using Unity 2019.2.1. Is there any way that we can fix this?

Edit: I hacked BurstAotCompiler. Changed the following line:

Code (CSharp):

1. // From this
2. report.AddMessage(LogType.Error, errorMessageBuilder.ToString());
3.  
4. // To this
5. report.AddMessage(LogType.Error, errorMessageBuilder.ToString(), "Don't know what to specify here");

 

Unfortunately, I'm now getting these errors:

Unexpected exception System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Smash, Version=0.3.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies.
File name: 'Smash, Version=0.3.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'

thanks, I will try 1.0.4

 

I don't think this can be done successfully with a workaround. Modifying local code would imply that I should create my own local version of burst to share the change with my colleagues, however this would mean, as far as I understand, that other unity packages will not find the burst dependency anymore.

 

You only should move burst from package cache to Packages folder (where manifest.json) other packages will find dependency correct.

 

that worked thank you!

 

it seems there are problems, but we are testing more

com.unity.physics@0.1.0-preview\Unity.Physics\Collision\Colliders\Physics_TerrainCollider.cs(225,24): error: Unexpected error while processing instruction IL_003c: call System.Void Unity.Mathematics.int4::.ctor(System.Int32,System.Int32,System.Int32,System.Int32) args(IL_003c, IL_000b, IL_0019, IL_002a, IL_003b). Reason: The argument System.Int16 for the constructor IL_003c: call System.Void Unity.Mathematics.int4::.ctor(System.Int32,System.Int32,System.Int32,System.Int32) args(IL_003c, IL_000b, IL_0019, IL_002a, IL_003b) is not supported by burst

edit: it seems it was an one off issue, keeping an eye on it

 

The compiling error seems to pop up randomly, therefore there is something wrong I am not sure I can rely on the downgrade.

Edit: for safety we are going to upgrade again, hence the Phenom issue is still open for us.
