CDT when opening 2nd reinforcement list

[Captain_Orso]

Situation: if the list reinforcements is so large that you can scroll through it and you scroll down that list and then close it and open a list of free reinforcements, the second list opens already scrolled down (which needn't be as this list is not even a whole page) and try to scroll up, the game crashes.

How to reproduce:

• buy a large number of reinforcements that the list you can open in the message log is more than one page long
• get free reinforcements
• open the list of bought reinforcement in the message log and scroll down
• close that list of bought reinforcements
• open the list of free reinforcements
• try to scroll up
• the game crashes

First you get this pop-up 3 times


The third time you click it away you get this pop-up


If you click 'No' or 'Cancel' you just get the first pup-up three times again and start all over until you click 'Yes'. Then you CTD.

This has happened to me a number of times, but I never really realized what caused it until now. I've been playing about a year now and started with patch level 1.14 at the most (and last had it in 1.16b4), if not earlier, and have not noticed a change in the behavior. But this has only happened very rarely. Probably because the conditions occur so seldom.

I've done this once or twice. It's pretty rare. Just something to think about I guess.

Please post a saved game for Pocus, preferably using the new v1.16 beta patch. He's made some changes to the saved game format in the newest beta work.

This is the bad boy

So sorry, I slipped the wrong file in . The right ones are in this archive.
This is 1.16b4 playing the USA vs CSA Athena.

BTW have you guy considered using FreeArc as an archiving-tool? It's free open source and an archive of the same files attached here archived with FreeArc are only 147,307 bytes instead of 416,631 bytes ompom:
Here's a link to their home page in case you guys might want to look into that
