PBEM Battles with custom maps problem

[NickFlynn]

Wow, thanks for the info, and the quick response. You never worked at Microsoft, did you? *grin*

The quick "test" setup to confirm that the map won't crash has worked fine for me so far. Does the same problem occur when you create a scenario using a "bad" map? I haven't tried that yet. I'd assume that it does. Perhaps if I've got some time, I'll test out some maps and try to put a list together of the bad ones.

I am running XP.

Thanks again,

This seems to be a "XP only" issue. I'm running WinME and it loads a save game using that map without the slightest problem.

Microsoft, nope - Unisys, Phillips, NCR.

The problem is apparently XP only. 98 is happy as Larry to let you try to write to arrays that are out of bounds.

The custom map problem is not just in PBEM - I tried a stand alone game with that map, saved it at deploy and reloaded, and it crashed in XP.

I'll dig out the old 98 box and check it, but the fix looks as if it has done what is needed in any case.

Cheers

Glad about the fix. I'm happy to have contributed in a small way to make a great game even better.
