Crash report probably related to sub port attack

Post by KtoTam »

TF 17 is a sub BD on a port attack mission at Dragonera in the tutorial scenario. I couldn't replicate the issue. Upon closing the crash pop up game itself did not crash and run fine, it was just as if the end turn did not process and game reverted to the state before end turn was pressed. On the second attempt without loading an older save file the turn processed fine. Ops and combat report were generated but only up to the sub port attack and were named Combat/Ops 1936_08_12B.txt while the correct date should have been 1936_08_13.Please find the crash report and a fragment of ops report below. Apologies for an image rather than open text but spam filters did not like the plain text.

The highest numbered save (in the save folder) should be the auto-save at the beginning of your last turn (the turn before the crash).

If you can upload that save here and we can reproduce the issue, we should be able to fix it.

Thanks !!!

As might be seen I am new to the forum and just couldn't figure out where the upload button is so in lieu of it here are google drive links to the save files and crash reports. I have managed to reproduce the crash again and the miscreant appears to be CD fire against a sub. Have fun quashing it.

These google drive links are not for public access. I requested permission to download. So don't be surprised if google does ask you about that.

This happens when an attack from sub to port sinks all ships in port.
Found and fixed for the update.

You can try just drag the files onto the screen, they should attach but there is a size limit of 4 pictures and I think a 10 MB total size. That is how I post my pictures on my AAR which I am using as more of a tutorial right now.
