      @pjft I think this is a one time thing. The bluetooth controller must have disconnected at the exact time when it was processing this loop and caused a crash. If @darknior can reproduce this even once then we might be able to bisect it.

        @hex my suggestion is that this is not really new, though, but certainly keen on hearing more about it.

          ES mostly runs on a single thread and this entire process runs sequentially. So PS actually doesnt interrupt this

            @pjft Power savings doesn't seem to have an effect either way. The hang state repeats regardless.

            In response to sano's suspicion that it may be SDL related, I do recall seeing some sort of SDL-related error when installing the retropie setup script. From the install logs:

            dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libsdl2-2.0-0:armhf:

            Could these be at all related?

                  @chauncyblack Thanks. Could you share this log when it has frozen? I'd expect to find some log entries on joysticks disconnecting or connecting, and their IDs, towards the end before it crashes. This log seems to pertain to a session that successfully finished.

                  Similar to the ones at the beginning:

                    @pjft Will do. I had already rebooted it after the last hang, so it might be a few hours (or tomorrow) before I can get the logs from a currently hung system.

                    @Hex New thread opened per your suggestion, on the chance that my errors are totally unrelated.

                      @hex said in New bug/crash from 15 days with new ES release:

                      Do not connect any bluetooth devices while testing. I will not need logs as the error is an assert failing. So I can study it based on if it fails due to PS.

                      You want i launch ES without Power Saver like before and no BT Keyboard and no x360 Pad ?

                      Can you tell me if you have screensaver enabled? and of what type?

                      Yes i have the @pjft Video Screensaver.

                                @hex are we sure it's not the same problem? I asked him to post here. We can follow in a separate thread, of course.

                                  @chauncyblack I don't see anything there related to controllers, sadly. Let's follow up on a separate thread unless you are getting the same crash @darknior is having. Thanks.

                                    @pjft : @ChauncyBlack 's error comes from themes while @darknior 's error stems from Joysticks. Seems independent hence my request

                                      @hex Oh, sorry. I'm not sure what suggests that it is a themes related issue in any way, but I might have missed something in this thread then.

                                      We'll follow up separately then.

                                        Oh my bad its not themes but it definitely not related to the Joystick bug.

                                        @darknior 's bug is at a specific assert. that is the only point of failure. I dont know about the other bug so I asked for it to be posted in another thread. Dont want to confuse logs of both.
