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.

Artur.

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.

That´s a pitty. Then it seems like I´m a lucky bastard , because neither in my beta (full CD) nor in the download-build it does happen in "windowed mode", only in "fullscreen mode" in both builds.

Screen res is 1600x1200, latest Nvidia Forceware on XP-SP2 if that helps Andy to find the problem.
