Noticed this in recent two builds (965, 968), as soon as the cheat is enabled the game will crash and produce a segmentation violation. Got this on both of my computers.
Vermil, what Doom game were you playing when you tried it out?
I tried it on Plutonia (nothing else added), and it worked fine. However, I noticed that after entering in the IDFA/IDKFA cheats, Doomsday was automatically switching to the Super Shotgun. I keep getting this crash in Ultimate Doom, which of course, doesn't have a Super Shotgun. Maybe that's what's causing the crash, Doomsday trying to switch to a weapon that doesn't exist?
I tried without success to replicate this myself with build 968 on Windows 64-bit.
Lets first try launching with -reconfig (which will nuke your configs, so make a backup copy first). If this solves the problem then please do provide your configs so we can inspect them.
Also, when you type in the IDKFA cheat in Ultimate Doom, should it automatically switch you to the Shotgun? After trying the other IWADs (Doom II, TNT, Plutonia), I am only getting this crash in Ultimate Doom, which is the only IWAD without a Super Shotgun.
-reconfig is a command line option, so if you're launching from Snowberry add this to Settings > Developer > Custom options. After closing Doomsday you can remove it.
Automatically changing weapon when entering a cheat is a relatively recent change. It uses your weapon order preferences to determine which of your newly acquired weapons to switch to (if at all). The cheat code handler now uses the same logic as when picking the weapon up from the world, you see.
Hm, I actually went to the weapons settings and changed the autoswitching on pickup from "always" to "never." After that entering the IDKFA cheat didn't crash the game. The game for me was crashing when the HUD weapon was lowering and in the middle of a weapon change.
Also, I put in "-reconfig" in that custom options and it's supposed to reset everything, such as controls, right? (since even after entering in -reconfig I am still using my control settings.
Well, given that its attempting to change to the shotgun you must be using a custom weapon order. Can you provide your config so I can take a look at it?
Nuking everything would be -reset rather than -reconfig. I thought we could try a -reconfig first as this is much less drastic.
Also wanted to point out on my autoswitching settings: I get the crash if my switch on pickup is set to "always", but not if it is set to "never" or "if better" (remember, all of this is happening on Ultimate Doom).
My weapon pickup settings have always been set to "always" since that is what the setting in Vanilla Doom was, so I've never used or enabled a preferred weapon order (and left that at its default).

Ok to confirm my problem I tested it out on another computer in the house (the family PC, a Windows 7 64-bit machine).
This computer has never had Doomsday installed on it, so I know I was starting from scratch and had all of the default settings. I ended up installing Doomsday 1.11.1 stable (instead of build #968, which for some reason wouldn't launch on this computer), so this is an even earlier build of Doomsday (and a stable one at that, too).
The default weapon pickup setting in Doomsday is "If Better". The first thing I did was type the IDKFA cheat, and it worked. After switching the pickup weapon setting to "Always" (this was the only setting I changed on this PC, btw, nothing else), I switched to a new map (to reset inventory) and then typed in the IDKFA cheat again. The game crashed.
I can confirm Ultimate Doom crashes if one set's their pickup weapon setting to always and types IDKFA. I personally don't set my pickup weapon setting to always, hence why I wasn't getting the crash previously. Also, typing 'give w8' (the DB Shotgun) in Ultimate Doom causes an identical looking crash.
Hence it looks like the new weapon cheats are accidently trying (or not blocking) to give (or switch to) the DB Shotgun in Ultimate Doom; the cheats give the player each weapon in sequence and the DB Shotgun is the highest internally numbered weapon (i.e 8) in Doom?
I want to clear up some confusion here about -reconfig/-reset.
These two command line options ONLY affect the contents of your persist.pack. This is the "Doomsday 2" persistent configuration pack (i.e. a ZIP file), consisting of things like current window settings, autoupdater configuration, and console log settings in a serialized, binary format.
The games still store their console variables and bindings in the text-based .cfg files like they always have. -reconfig/-reset will NOT touch these files.
(In the long term future, console variables will be reimplemented as Doomsday 2 script variables, and they will eventually migrate to persist.pack or some other serialized file.)
Since Vermil has also been able to reproduce this problem under the same circumstances, can you do it as well? Hopefully this can be fixed for the next stable release...
Comments
Any other add-ons loaded? OS? Have you tried wiping your configs? etc
How would I go about resetting my config?
And here's the details that I am shown whenever I produce this, but nothing sticks out...
I tried it on Plutonia (nothing else added), and it worked fine. However, I noticed that after entering in the IDFA/IDKFA cheats, Doomsday was automatically switching to the Super Shotgun. I keep getting this crash in Ultimate Doom, which of course, doesn't have a Super Shotgun. Maybe that's what's causing the crash, Doomsday trying to switch to a weapon that doesn't exist?
Lets first try launching with -reconfig (which will nuke your configs, so make a backup copy first). If this solves the problem then please do provide your configs so we can inspect them.
Also, when you type in the IDKFA cheat in Ultimate Doom, should it automatically switch you to the Shotgun? After trying the other IWADs (Doom II, TNT, Plutonia), I am only getting this crash in Ultimate Doom, which is the only IWAD without a Super Shotgun.
Automatically changing weapon when entering a cheat is a relatively recent change. It uses your weapon order preferences to determine which of your newly acquired weapons to switch to (if at all). The cheat code handler now uses the same logic as when picking the weapon up from the world, you see.
Also, I put in "-reconfig" in that custom options and it's supposed to reset everything, such as controls, right? (since even after entering in -reconfig I am still using my control settings.
Nuking everything would be -reset rather than -reconfig. I thought we could try a -reconfig first as this is much less drastic.
My weapon pickup settings have always been set to "always" since that is what the setting in Vanilla Doom was, so I've never used or enabled a preferred weapon order (and left that at its default).
EDIT: Here is my "game.cfg" (the one I backed up and put on my desktop before experimenting further), if this is what you're looking for:

The crash is indeed caused by the game attempting to give the double shotgun when its not available.
