Beta2: managed to save a repeatable CTD

Post by ThvN »

I managed to create a CTD that is repeatable on my system (Win7 64-bit), the log has the usual - ERROR: Could not open campaign file: '' - .

I am posting this separately because this is the first time I was able to repro the CTD even after several reboots. I have zipped up two savegames, one that has been made right before I made the move that precedes the CTD (Search, Turn 11ctd6.whsav) , and the other savegame (Search, Turn 11ctd7.whsav) where it always CTDs when I hover the mousepointer over a specific unit. When I load the second save all I have to do is hover the pointer over the Company Command unit and boom. Very strange.

Background: I am playing the mission "Search" and near the end, when I play a certain sequence of moves and attacks, it causes a crash when I hover the mouse cursor over a specific unit. I got a bit frustrated when it kept happening, it seemed like there was a pattern, so after an hour of carefully making all moves while loading, saving, crashing, rebooting I obtained two savegames that were right before and after the point where it goed from stable to certain crash. I did manage to avoid the issue and finish the mission, but I thought it might be interesting since I could induce this crash again and again.

In the attached zip are two saves: after loading the second one (Search, Turn 11ctd7.whsav), my game will crash when I hover my pointer over the Company Command that has just attacked.

Here are the steps I have to take to induce it:
- load the previous save (Search, Turn 11ctd6.whsav)
- select the '2nd Steel Legion Company Command' , move it next to the '15th Gretchin', and attack them.
- deselect the Company Command (or select another unit).
- try to hover the mousepointer over the Company Command - instant crash (this situation is saved as [Search, Turn 11ctd7.whsav])

Confirmed and fixed. That unit earned too much experience. :)
