Realm imports crashing

nightpanda2810 · January 10th, 2020, 05:45 PM

Initial import works fine. However, if I re-import (due to an added snippet or article) it crashes 100% of the time. Anyone having similar issues? Multiple computers, beta build.

Have you installed the patch in the sticky?

nightpanda2810 · January 10th, 2020, 06:39 PM

Yup, on 255. Error I get is "object reference not set to an instance of an object"

Note this is happening on 2 realms, game system one that's huge, and world one that's really small in comparison.

Been doing a bunch of testing since I posted. Created new realms with minor changes and imported fine. Seems my 2 big realms are somehow corrupt. One I can rebuild in a couple of hours. The other has over 2000 articles in it, no rebuilding that one... Literally months worth of work in it.

Before you do that, had you edited any of the imported topics in the destination realm?

With the realm I first noticed the issue with I have no idea. Hasn't been touched in months.

However, part of the testing I did tested this.
Created a blank realm.
Created a new export of the affected realm with no changes.
Imported into the blank realm without issue.
Added a new topic to the source realm and exported. No other modifications.
Imported into the no longer blank realm, and got a crash.

These crashes happen whether I use overwrite settings or not.

Just had a couple of successful imports. Downgrade to build 253 did the trick.

Export files created with 253 worked without issue.

Export files created with 255 do not work, however an expected error due to version numbers rather than a crash.

Good info, just ran into this myself last night. I'll try downgrading when I get home. Has anyone tested with 254?

254 has its own import/export bug (unsure if related to this) so I didn't try with it.

Side note, I did open a support case when this happened. Haven't had a resolution yet, but have gotten responses. You should open one as well (and anyone else with this) so they're aware it's not just me

Will do -- where can I get the build 253 installer?

I lucked out by changing the build number in the download link for 255.
