WinSPMBT crashes while buying units (OS WinXP)

[Artur]

Gents,

When buying units the game crashes no matter it is a campaign or an edited scenario.

Steps.
1. Buy units until you have to scroll the unit pages.
2. Delete one unit.
3. Press previous.

Error is reproducible.

If anyone else can follow these steps and reproduce this problem please let us know. I cannot. Every time I try these steps the game works perfectly

Artur, if it's reproducable for you post a save game for us to look at

I can vouch for that bug, exactly as described. Buying your core units; buy more than one page of units. You change your mind on one formation, so you go to the second page and deleted. Hit previous at the bottom of the unit list (on the right), Crash to windows, XP pop up for WinSPMBT crash "we are sorry for the inconvenience" message pups up. It's happened several times (because I forget about it)

It works perfectly well on my 98 box, and Don's is 98ME.

I'll try it out on my XP rig later.

Hi Artur

I also tested what you described and here are my results:

Crash in Fullscreen mode and it runs o.k. in the Windowed mode.

I can confirm that one. Only workaround is to play in windowed mode where this bug does not happen. Try it.

It happens when a whole group is half in a page and half in another page and you click on the second half of the group and then click on previous.


For now the solution is to delete an half way group clicking on the first unit of the group. This will prevent any error.

As already mentioned above, playing in "windowed mode" prevents the problem altogether. In "windowed mode" it doesn�t matter which unit you click on to delete it. So the problem might be associated with the fullscreen mode of the game.

However, seems like we have now two possibilities to workaround this until it gets squashed.

It happens also in windowed mode.
