Crash after game load in a40pre1 & pre2 (pathological ca
Posted: 19 Nov 2004 02:04
Immediately after loading[0] this game, a40pre1 will crash with these near-identical logs if neither the Zeppelin nor Chinook(!) graphics are loaded. They don't have to be active, but if neither are at least loaded, the game will crash.
Interestingly, the included save does not crash if no additional graphics are loaded, but no rotor appears at all. If the Zeppelin graphics are loaded (active or inactive) or the Chinook graphics are loaded but inactive, the working cursor ("ZZZZZ") replaces the rotor.
[0] I suspect it happens on the first tick, but have no good evidence to that.
EDIT:updated subject.
