[2.0.72] Crash on start (SDL_coreaudio.m:default_device_changed)

Post by legless_ »

Factorio crashed on startup, right after I rebooted MacOS. It's never done this before, and the next startup worked fine. Attached are previous.log (the crash) and current.log (next successful start).

Thanks for the report.
Looking at the log, there were several errors coming from the audio driver before finally crashing, also from the audio driver. I'm guessing your audio device was in a state the driver wasn't able to handle. I don't know how or why that happened.
The audio driver is outside of Factorio code, so there's not really anything I can do, other than updating the library containing the audio driver, which we're doing for 2.1, hopefully it will resolve these seemingly random issues.
