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.

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.

cheers,

p.s good remark

Confirmed as an XP only problem.

Works fine on the W98 rig, crash on the XP test rig.

I tried various combinations of unit buys and ended up with two crashes ( now three... woops.. now four) in WinME running windowed. It does seem to be tied to units straddling pages. It also appears to only happen if you still have the formation you were buying open. The times I have exited back to the main buy menu, then deleted a unit on the last page ( even a "straddler") it does not seem to crash. If anyone can confirm this it may help Andy sort out where the problem is exactly
