Game ending bug with HQ emergency supply phase

[craigbear]

I have a bug to report. File included.

Attached is a file in the land combat declaration phase. Playing the phase, I have been declaring a Chinese attack on Wuhan. No other combat is selected. However after ending the phase, I get a never ending game freeze. This is using the latest update. I have restarted the whole allied impulse and received the same result.

Unfortunately, I do not think this game can be continued. I think I shall have to go back to an earlier version as recurring problems with the newest version have made it currently unplayable. However, if anyone can figure out a fix, it would be welcome.

Bug confirmed. This is indeed a fatal one.

If you want to continue the game, go into info->Optional Rules and right click on the Emergency HQ Supply option to turn it off. (Is it a bug that the game lets me do this?)

With Emergency HQ Supply set to off, the game allowed me to progress beyond the land combat declaration phase. At this point, you could go back into game options and right click on Emergency HQ supply to set that option back on if you desire. However, I haven't tested much beyond completing the land combat declaration phase with your game save, so YMMV.

No. I do not think it is a bug. There is a feature that you can turn some options on, and off, if you so desire. Seems that option is included.

By editing the first few lines of a save game file, one can theoretically turn on or off any option. Doing so for any option that adds units to the game will almost certainly produce a corrupt game file which sooner or later will crash (more likely sooner). Also turning off an option that allows a new game state that exists (e.g., SCS transporting divisions when somewhere there is an SCS transporting a division) is probably a bad idea.

Thank-you for finding a fix. It will allow us to continue.
