Hello folks...

I've repeadtely encountered a crash when playing f.ex. Cold War scenario Reinforcing North... with H3 U ANW (v. 3.10.1.0 / Harpoon 3 Standard Database). Usually it happens in the mid phases of scenario when showering enemy with plenty of missiles...
[:(]
Please find attached saved game, before the crash, and copy paste of the startup log.

BR,

Arska

The Database doesn't match....
"Annex version older than Program version"....

I am not sure which one your using.......someone much smarter than I can explain it better.

Please try another scenario and see if this is an issue??

This is a database problem. There is an incompatible setting within the weapons annex that causes an Unhandled Exception whenever the Manchester attempts to engage the missiles with her Sea Darts. This crash will occur often as this ship is used in many other scenarios written with the Original Database.

There is not much a casual common user can do to rectify the situation. A database correction is required and all the afflicted scenarios must be re-built with the Scenario Editor after it is implemented.

If you wish to play this scenario to completion, use another database such as (shameless self-promotion [:)])  the PlayersDB.
