[FIXED] 1307.5 Mission Editor (Activation Time) crash

Post by Epsilon442 »

I have encountered three crashes well more accurately freezes when changing the activation time of missions within the mission editor. If I set a missions activation time and then quickly press the clear button or type in the box the text in the activation time box will flash rapidly followed by the program not responding. So far I have found the issue only occurs if you also have the EMCON/WRA Tab of the mission editor open at the same time as editing or clearing the activation time on that mission. I cant reproduce the error at will however I have experienced three crashes under the conditions described above within 12 hours of scenario editing. I have included a screenshot of the game as it stopped responding.

I don't believe the issue is scenario specific as the crashes occurred in two separate scenarios. The only common factor was both scenarios included high active unit counts.

Yes I have just installed the beta 1307.9 today same problem. It appears to be linked to having the EMCON/WRA tab open when clicking on the activation time date box. I have manged to catch the crash on video and will include the link at the end of this post. I am aware Nvidia share can cause problem however it was only enabled to capture this video and was disabled at the time of the first three crashes.
Link to crash video: https://youtu.be/Z2kKsTuvBLY
Another interesting detail this crash dose not produce an exception log or error message the game just enters a not responding state.
EDIT: I probably should have mentioned at the end of the video when the window is flashing that's not me repeatedly clicking on it the window is just flashing on its own.
