A bit of a curveball from the usual, from the Nier Replicant PC port:

https://twitter.com/Theswweet/status/1385757947112804357

The 'explain it like I'm five' explanation: The game's running into critical, crash-worthy errors when running just as a normal matter of course. ...But apparently nobody told Nier that, because the game runs completely fine and has no notable issues despite all coding logic saying it should be crashing constantly.

It's an anti-glitch! Everything is normal when nothing should be!

Nier having an exceptional day I see.

Wonder if this is related to the completely valid baller exception handling that is to tell the exception "cool, I don't care."

If ignoring an exception doesn't cause any problems, was it really an exception to begin with? Really makes u think

Guessing that it installs a handler to catch it and prevent the OS from terminating the process, then it's no longer an error *taps temple*

Isn't that the coding equivalent of hotwiring your electrical system directly into the main power line in order to prevent your circuit breakers from tripping?

Wait are you saying that's not how I should have done the wiring in this place?

Yep, that looks about right for when I have to leave the house.

San Andreas has a glitch that sometimes causes your parachute not to open and CJ to plummet to the ground, which happened as I was doing the parachute lesson at the flight school. Because the lesson is programmed not to kill you if you screw up, you'll just start your next attempt at zero health and then die as soon as you return to normal gameplay.

Had a similar thing playing No Man's Sky in October last year, missing strings when interacting with manufacturing facilities:

For anyone who hasn't played, it's meant to present you with some dialogue in one of the alien languages and you are then meant to select the right answer. The more words you've translated the easier it is to understand what it's asking for. Unfortunately there's no translation for a NULL string...

SMH it's just the secret secret secret ending achieved when you reprogram the game properly.

In RE8, large vampire mommy had Ethan so trapped in a corner that the only way out was to launch him outside of reality with a pipe bomb. Sadly without another bomb in his inventory it is impossible to get back, so he now wanders inside the walls of Castle Dimitrescu, occasionally able to look back into the level but never able to return :pressf:

Planetside 2's latest update added a fun little bug that gives ground vehicles collision with the sky-shield deployable, creating a fishbowl you can drive buggys around in.

Good old

code:

Try:
   Code
Except:
   Same code

Though from what people are saying, that shouldn't work because it's not Nier that should be crashing, but Direct3D itself.

If stupid code makes the compiler stop yelling at me, and it works, is it really stupid?
