Stillwell HQ on map placement Crash

[Rick5287]

Built the Stillwell HQ for the Chinese. The production being done, it's time to place the unit on
the map, placing the unit crashes the game every time. I have tried placing the unit in several
cities (some without any other units already there) and the crash occurs every time. This is with the
latest version of the program as of June 20, 2014. The crash is so great that an email bug report
is never generated.

My system is a 2.4GHz Quad-CPU with 2GB RAM and 32-bit operating system (vista) service pack 2 installed.

Can you place the autosave nearest to the placement phase? Haven't seen this before.

[Rick5287]

Don't have an autosave but I do have a save-as file at the point where Stillwell HQ needs to be placed. There really should be an option to by-pass map
placement. I have had to crash a game I was playing with the previous release as it would not let me place communist chinese units on the map (all
cities were full or captured and the off city placement was not working).

[Rick5287]

Just sent the save-as file to MadExcept@MatrixGames.com .

To bad you didn't zip the game and upload it into the forum here. Than the beta team could investigate, now it's up to Steve to pick it up...

[Rick5287]

Attached is a zip version of the file I sent to Steve. The file is at the point where
you need to place the Stillwell HQ.

I had not any trouble to place stillwell in 3 games played but I have detected one issue about him. This HQ must to allow 2 USA corps can be sended to China (by foreign troops comitment rules) but this function doesn´t work. I think this is a possible bug. The trouble you report maybe is caused for your configuration or instalation but naturally I can´t assure it.

Can you put a saved game for this in here? This bug isn't on the list and we don't have a saved game for this...

[Rick5287]

I have played numerous games of the "global war" scenario and the game that I uploaded here is the ONLY one where the Stillwell placement problem has happened. Please note that the version of the
game used here is the most recent as of June 20, 2014.

I've got the same bug here too.

Ok, I am playing with the last official patch so it could be the key! Centuur, I am afraid haven´t got a save becouse it happened in our first game but anyway I will try to send usa counters in our current game and see what happens!
