Shipdeployment Crash v1.70

[Salamandra]

Hi,

playing '39 campaign as GE on VH , with axis minor as Hard,
i crash every time trying to deploy a ship an event offered me (for PP)

BTW my money is negative -80 and going down.WAD probably until the fall of trance.

[doomtrader]

Can I have save game please?

[Salamandra]

->savegame<-

[doomtrader]

I was able to deploy U-50 and Atlantis. Check out attached file (two turns later).


Also, you are playing at Very Hard, so your PP income is reduced, but your army expenses stay at the same level. After fall of France you should get some PP.
But the final solution might be reduction of the army.

Hi Doomtrader,

at the next turn i receive the Orion, it crashes just after i select the ship to deploy.

[Salamandra]

changing screen resolution doens't help.




On a side note, when you launch the game, the game alt-tabs back , when you should see the matrix logo ,then you have to click in your taskbar the get it back in front. Quite annoying !

I too have a crash in 1.7 when I attempt to deploy the Blucher in Kiel.

From ConsoleOut.Txt :

Wchodze w GameLoop
Ustawiam guziki akcji jednostek...

Deploying Blucher in Kiel

I am attaching a save game which will start the turn I attempt the deployment.

@Salamandra
You can go to the /data/ folder and delete intro.avi and intro2.avi files.

@Salamandra, cpdeyoung:
Again, no crash for me. I tried with different settings at different resolutions.
Which port are you trying to deploy the ship?

[Salamandra]

Doomtrader, thks for the avi tip

i unticked autoopen and i could deploy

yeah i tried to deploy with auto reopen on and it crashes, w/o and i can deploy normally.

What is that for, the auto reopen tic ?

[Bleck]

Auto reopen will pop up deploy window (if you have more units to deploy) right after you deploy selected unit. We will look into this bug, obviously something is wrong with this option.

Confirmed. This is happening to me as the Soviets. Game crashes as I try to place a new cruiser in Leningrad.

Just for the sake of making it clear to all having this problem, I will point out that unchecking the "Autoopen" checkbox in the lower left is a work around.

[doomtrader]

That's weird, because it works for me, I was checking autoreopen feature many times.

[cpdeyoung]

Perhaps it is the combination of one ship only, placed by event, first ship deployment in game, etc.
