.Net error on map launch

[borsook79]

When I start the game, after I choose all the cards I get the following error:

when I press continue, the game works.

I'm running 64bit windows 7

PS. I don't have this problem with Case Blue

Some more details about the error - it appears when I choose guarantees from Stalin, but not if I choose anything else. The details of the error are:

Code: Select all

See the end of this message for details on invoking 
 just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

 ************** JIT Debugging **************
 To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
 application or computer (machine.config) must have the
 jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
 The application must also be compiled with debugging

 For example:
 
 <configuration>
     <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
 </configuration>
 
 When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
 will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
 rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Hi Borsook,

What version are you running?
(main menu at startup in the top left shows the version number)

It might be related to the Win7 KB2670838 Update issue.

Hi Vic,

I'm running the latest version i.e. 151j, I tried 152 too, it's the same. My windows is fully updated so I guess I applied this update too.

[Vic]

Ok sorry to hear you have problems. Could you try the following things:

1. Run the WarsawToParis.exe as administrator and try the same sequence of actions that gave the bug?

2. Could you check if you have KB2670838 installed?
And also check if you have KB2834140 installed?
(Windows Menu-> Configuration -> Software -> Installed Updates )

3. Check if the regular (non-campaign) scenarios work normally on your system?

4. Could you describe the exact moment your computer hangs. its after playing the start scenario/campaign card but before the map shows?

Sorry for the big list of things. But I want to fix your issue and need some more info for this.

Best,
Vic

1. I run always as admin (actually turned this annoying feature off)
2. KB2834140 - I found this one in the list, not the other one, but the list is huge and not searchable, and I've installed every update available
3. Regular ones are fine.
4. I choose the cards, click on go to war and get the error. If I click on continue the game progresses, so it's not that terrible. I don't get it every time, so I guess it is related to the random choice of scenario conditions, but I'm not sure which ones exactly.

@Borsook,

Thanks for the feedback. This is actually quite helpfull. If you send me an email to vic@xs4all.nl I would like to send you a private beta build to see if i can fix the issue for you.
This will take some time but i would appreciate the help.

Best,
Vic
