CTD when Database button is depressed

When playing Multi-player games, scenarios will sometimes crash to the desktop when the Database button has been depressed.

This has happened predominantly with PlayersDB scens since they are the ones most commonly played. At first, it was suspected that this was caused by an improperly installed version of the PlayersDB since this is exactly what happens when the Database button is depressed with an incorrectly installed PlayersDB in solitaire mode. However, this has proven not to be the case after players double-checked their installations to find all Text files in their proper place within the Text sub-folder and the PlayersDB fully functional in solitaire mode. The files were also properly installed to the server.

Also, after a CTD and players return to the MP Lobby to re-start the exact same scenario, when they repeat the exact same procedure, it does not always cause a second CTD. In once instance it did, in another instance, the scenario started and ran without a problem only to crash later when the database button was depressed later in the game.

I can confirm that this happened when playing a few scenarios with Herman Hum and it does appear to be quite random in its occurance and it only from what I have seen shows its face in MP.

If that is any help

happened to me too in various configurations, even in LAN session.

Hey Guys,

Passed this one to AGSI also.

The Coders think it may be related to the Torpedo/Missile CTD, and the random scenario termination bugs.

Thanks for the reports.
