mesh:<unknown> error causing loathing to crash

Post by Zaknafein »

At first the issue was random, only striking once ever couple of hours.

Now I can't open any meshes in loathing with my current local, as it crashes whenever I try to load any of them. Pyro suggested that maybe it was an issue of conflicting tags, but I've resolved all tag ID conflicts.

Here is the error I get on loathing 1.8 (build 414):

And when I try in 1.7.2, I get a slightly different error:
