CTD in 1.007 after logistics in T1

[Harain1]

Either a new issue introduced with 1.007 or something I did in T1, since this is my 3rd Axis campaign and had no issues before, but after ending my 1st turn as Axis, the Soviet AI does its stuff, Axis turn starts, does all the Logistics and then just crashes without any message (at the point it would autosave)

Here's the save from before ending turn, just press F12


EDIT: it's definitely something I did that caused it, a save I had earlier in the turn works fine

Can you check if you have a crash dump file named like WarInTheEast2.exe.<number>.dmp in C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\CrashDumps ?

If you find one, please zip and attach it to the forum message. Thanks.

[Harain1]

here it is, easily reproducible from that save tho

Thanks for the save and crash dump. I was able to reproduce it from the save. It crashes in 1.0 and 1.00.07 so it's not new. Since it's repeatable we should be able to get to the bottom of it. Thanks for the report.

[Harain1]

my pleasure, hope you fix it [:)]

For some reasons some units which are set to transfer from Western Europe to MAP got bad player setting (ex. II/2nd Lehr Gun Battalion), which is causing a crash. I can fix it to prevent a crash, but it is unclear how it got corrupted.

I've tried to reproduce it, but so all transfers I'm trying to set are ok.

Do you remember how did you transfer these units?

[Joel Billings]

Pavel was able to find the cause of the bug. He found:

if you transfer form WE to MAP, open a CR, filter in transfer units, go to unit detail screen, and change HHQ, it clears unit's player setting

This causes the crash. Did you happen to change the HHQ of the unit you were transferring? He will fix this, but clearly don't do this. I hope that's what you did.

all i did was remove a bunch of Theater transfers, all support units plus a few CUs

i wasn't transferring, i removed the setting to transfer in the future, and yea, changed its HQ

i wasn't transferring

Unit has transfer set from WE to MAP.

Unit has transfer set from WE to MAP.

pretty sure I didn't do that, i just went through CR and selected each SU scheduled to transfer at any point, and cleared those 1 by 1 (a way to do this all at once would be awesome btw)

[Harain1]

also, in my previous save, if I filter CR in my current save by transfer, that II/2nd Lehr Gun Battalion you mentioned (amongst many others) appears there without a destination Theater, not sure if this should happen or part of this issue

[Helpless]

pretty sure I didn't do that

It is not a crime

Anyway, the root cause is bug in HQ assignment code which may reset player setting for the units in transfer. Thanks a lot for helping to find out such a nasty bug.
