Game crashes upon loading new scenario
 

I have been playing WINSPMBT for a while now and started to get into scenario- and campaign design, but now, when I finally figured out how that works and so on, I got some unexplainable crashes: I am working on a campaign and am adding one more scenario - the fourth for that campaign - and the trouble starts: I finish this scenario and save it, then add it to the capaign - fine.

But as soon as I try to load it again from the editor, or play it, the game crashes, with some message like: "unknown software exception" and winspmbt.exe couldn't be executed...

I really got no clue what went wrong - I didnt do anything different than with the previous scenarios, and even if I try it again, this keeps happening all the time! Any idea, anyone?

My guess is you've got a bad save which has corrupted the sceanrio and your only recourse would be to rebuild it from whatever the last save you have of it that works OK. However, attach it here and I'll take a look at it first

Hi! I thought that's about the only reason, yeah - I will use a different slot for saving, and if nothing helps, I'll post the whole thing so you can have a look... thanks!

Is there any chance you might have edited names of units or leaders and perhaps used umlauts or anything like that ? That will cause a crash

Hi Don!

No, no Umlauts ;-) - as I said, I made a turn-0-szenario with my core units first, adn that one works fine! The second one, with a map of my own doest'n work - I tried it many times now. This version is without any movement orders or reinforcements - I did it quickly just to try, and it crashes again.

Could the map be the cause of this? It's the only thing that enters the equationa s a new variable...

--- here is the *'§$/=)(&" scenario...

Works OK for me. Both the sceanrio and the map load fine in the editor and in a game. I have NO idea what may be wrong at your end but for fun tonight defrag your HD.

Thanks for trying to help - I solved the problem by crating a new map - no more crashes so far!
