Description:
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.
If the server has autosave enabled it should be possible to easily find the offending save game and we can attempt to reproduce the issue or at least track down what might actually be causing this. From the description it seems almost random and could be caused by just about anything.
Again this reinforces the need for saved game files where the issue can be examined and a resolution found.
I'm going to class this as random and as yet unable to be reproduced.
