What platform are you developing for?

Windwos 8.1 x64

Is that the platform you want to run your app on or just the platform you are coding on?

I’m developing on and for Windows 8.

Does this happen with a fresh project as well?

If you mean a newly created, non related project, no it does not happen. I also have another project and it works fine in release mode. It’s specific to this project.

It seems to be at Vec2, try chaning the Vec2 to 2 float variables for now and see if that works?

it wasnt’ with Vec2. Here’s what I did so far.

This is the function that calls the functions in BackgroundBuilder. So the order is GameScene::configureTimeContainerSprite() → BackgroundBuilder::configureTimeContainerSprite() → BackgroundBuilder.configureTimeLabel();

Here is the first version that causes the above troublem.

void GameScene::configureTimeContainerSprite(BackgroundBuilder &backgroundBuilder)
{
    GameManager::getInstance()->m_Logger << FileLogger::LogType::LOG_INFO << "GameScene::configureTimeContainerSprite";
    std::tuple tuple = backgroundBuilder.configureTimeContainerSprite();
    m_SpriteTimeContainer = std::get<0>(tuple);
    m_SpriteSandglass = std::get<1>(tuple);
    m_LabelCountdown = std::get<2>(tuple);

    this->addChild(m_SpriteTimeContainer, LAYER::HUD);
    this->addChild(m_SpriteSandglass, LAYER::HUD);
    this->addChild(m_LabelCountdown, LAYER::SCORE_HUD + 1);
}

std::tuple BackgroundBuilder::configureTimeContainerSprite()
{
    Sprite *spriteTimeContainer = Sprite::create(m_AssetKeys.at("Time_Container"));
    spriteTimeContainer->setScale(m_BackgroundScale.x, m_BackgroundScale.y);
    Size scaledSize = spriteTimeContainer->getBoundingBox().size;
    Vec2 endPos(m_VisibleSize.width / 2, m_VisibleSize.height - scaledSize.height / 2);
    spriteTimeContainer->setPosition(endPos.x, m_VisibleSize.height + scaledSize.height);
    MoveTo *move = MoveTo::create(m_AnimationDuration, endPos);
    Sequence *seq = Sequence::create(DelayTime::create(1), EaseElasticOut::create(move), nullptr);
    spriteTimeContainer->runAction(seq);

    Sprite *spriteSandglass = Sprite::create(m_AssetKeys.at("Sandglass_Green"));
    spriteSandglass->setScale(m_BackgroundScale.x);
    spriteSandglass->setPosition(spriteTimeContainer->getPositionX() - spriteSandglass->getBoundingBox().size.width / 2, spriteTimeContainer->getPositionY());
    Vec2 endPosSandglass = endPos;
    endPosSandglass.x = spriteTimeContainer->getPositionX() - spriteSandglass->getBoundingBox().size.width;
    endPosSandglass.y = endPos.y + spriteSandglass->getBoundingBox().size.height / 4;
    move = MoveTo::create(m_AnimationDuration, endPosSandglass);
    seq = Sequence::create(DelayTime::create(1), EaseElasticOut::create(move), nullptr);
    spriteSandglass->runAction(seq);

    return std::make_tuple(spriteTimeContainer, spriteSandglass, configureTimeLabel(endPos));
}

Label *BackgroundBuilder::configureTimeLabel(const Vec2 &timeContainerEndPos)
{
    const std::string gameDuration = std::to_string(GameSettings::getInstance()->getGameDuration());
    Label *labelCountdown = Label::createWithTTF(gameDuration, "fonts/Mexe.otf", 130);
    labelCountdown->setScale(m_BackgroundScale.x);

    Vec2 endPos;
    endPos.x = timeContainerEndPos.x + labelCountdown->getBoundingBox().size.width / 2.5f;
    endPos.y = timeContainerEndPos.y + labelCountdown->getBoundingBox().size.height / 4.f;

    labelCountdown->setPosition(endPos.x, m_VisibleSize.height + labelCountdown->getBoundingBox().size.height);

    MoveTo *move = MoveTo::create(m_AnimationDuration, endPos);
    Sequence *seq = Sequence::create(DelayTime::create(1), EaseElasticOut::create(move), nullptr);
    labelCountdown->runAction(seq);

    return labelCountdown;
}

With the above usage the get methods of Label caused the same problem of which I shared the screen shot. When I use, say, labelCountdown.setString(“asd”) there wasn’t any problems. So instead of using the above code I converted it to this. And the only difference is I use the configureTimeLabel method outside of BackroundBuilder::configureTimeContainerSprite

void GameScene::configureTimeContainerSprite(BackgroundBuilder &backgroundBuilder)
{
    GameManager::getInstance()->m_Logger << FileLogger::LogType::LOG_INFO << "GameScene::configureTimeContainerSprite";
    std::tuple tuple = backgroundBuilder.configureTimeContainerSprite();
    m_SpriteTimeContainer = std::get<0>(tuple);
    m_SpriteSandglass = std::get<1>(tuple);
    m_LabelCountdown = backgroundBuilder.configureTimeLabel(std::get<2>(tuple));

    this->addChild(m_SpriteTimeContainer, LAYER::HUD);
    this->addChild(m_SpriteSandglass, LAYER::HUD);
    this->addChild(m_LabelCountdown, LAYER::SCORE_HUD + 1);
    GameManager::getInstance()->m_Logger << FileLogger::LogType::LOG_INFO << "GameScene::configureTimeContainerSprite END";
}

std::tuple BackgroundBuilder::configureTimeContainerSprite()
{
    Sprite *spriteTimeContainer = Sprite::create(m_AssetKeys.at("Time_Container"));
    spriteTimeContainer->setScale(m_BackgroundScale.x, m_BackgroundScale.y);
    Size scaledSize = spriteTimeContainer->getBoundingBox().size;
    Vec2 endPos(m_VisibleSize.width / 2, m_VisibleSize.height - scaledSize.height / 2);
    spriteTimeContainer->setPosition(endPos.x, m_VisibleSize.height + scaledSize.height);
    MoveTo *move = MoveTo::create(m_AnimationDuration, endPos);
    Sequence *seq = Sequence::create(DelayTime::create(1), EaseElasticOut::create(move), nullptr);
    spriteTimeContainer->runAction(seq);

    Sprite *spriteSandglass = Sprite::create(m_AssetKeys.at("Sandglass_Green"));
    spriteSandglass->setScale(m_BackgroundScale.x);
    spriteSandglass->setPosition(spriteTimeContainer->getPositionX() - spriteSandglass->getBoundingBox().size.width / 2, spriteTimeContainer->getPositionY());
    Vec2 endPosSandglass = endPos;
    endPosSandglass.x = spriteTimeContainer->getPositionX() - spriteSandglass->getBoundingBox().size.width;
    endPosSandglass.y = endPos.y + spriteSandglass->getBoundingBox().size.height / 4;
    move = MoveTo::create(m_AnimationDuration, endPosSandglass);
    seq = Sequence::create(DelayTime::create(1), EaseElasticOut::create(move), nullptr);
    spriteSandglass->runAction(seq);

    return std::make_tuple(spriteTimeContainer, spriteSandglass, endPos);
}

Label *BackgroundBuilder::configureTimeLabel(const Vec2 &timeContainerEndPos)
{
    const std::string gameDuration = std::to_string(GameSettings::getInstance()->getGameDuration());
    Label *labelCountdown = Label::createWithTTF(gameDuration, "fonts/Mexe.otf", 130);
    labelCountdown->setScale(m_BackgroundScale.x);

    Vec2 endPos;
    endPos.x = timeContainerEndPos.x + labelCountdown->getBoundingBox().size.width / 2.5f;
    endPos.y = timeContainerEndPos.y + labelCountdown->getBoundingBox().size.height / 4.f;

    labelCountdown->setPosition(endPos.x, m_VisibleSize.height + labelCountdown->getBoundingBox().size.height);

    MoveTo *move = MoveTo::create(m_AnimationDuration, endPos);
    Sequence *seq = Sequence::create(DelayTime::create(1), EaseElasticOut::create(move), nullptr);
    labelCountdown->runAction(seq);

    return labelCountdown;
}

With this code, the same problem doesn’t occur. But a new one arises in a different place. And here it is:

go back through the code you added, and add the code line by line to help identify which line is the problem.

That wasn’t the problem. I was able to get a more detailed stack log. Here it is:

[ERROR]: Walking stack.

What wasn’t the problem?
