December 11, 200718 yr Defect Name: Crash After Splitting Build: Basic HCE installation. Repeatable: Y Operating System: XP DB used: Not Sure (Westpac from HCE install?) Scenario used: Saved game: Game crashes after splitting group. Long Description: After splitting a group (to hopefully enable it to refuel) the game crashes. Sequence to reproduce: 1. Load Savegame. 2. Choose group BKA (EA-6B Prowler and KA-6D Intruder Refuel, at top of window, slightly to the right above the carrier group.) 3. Ctrl-8 to split the group. Move both to the right side. Continue. 4. Game Crashes. Expected behaviour: Game asks for a new course. Observed behaviour: Game crashes. crash.zip
December 11, 200718 yr I just tested the saved game file and can confirm that this occurs. Good report, Mack.

Observed behaviour: Game crashes. crash.zip So basically you are creating a group with no units, correct? This is a known issue in the release version, I will test it with the current build this evening. Confirmed, and report to mantis: http://mantis.advancedgaming.biz/view.php?id=2377
December 12, 200718 yr Author Actually, I think it's more making a new unit than making a blank unit (as the units are moving from the old unit to the new unit). I could have sworn I've done this (moving all of a group to the other side) before and not had a crash. The reason it was being done is there is a problem with refueling that I believe has a work-around of splitting the unit into a new one. fake edit: I just reloaded the save, and chose group BIA (again, 1 Prowler and 1 Intruder Refuel). That group will split both planes into a new unit with no problem, but then if I move across to group BKA and do it to that group, the game crashes. So it seems that there is something about this group causing the crash.
December 12, 200718 yr Aha! I knew that I'd seen this darned thing before. http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?s...post&p=1766 June 6, 2006. Almost the same letter grouping, too --> BEA
February 1, 200818 yr Fixed in 2007.032 I have purchased HCE on 15 January 2008 from the website but am also experiencing this crash. Is there a workaround? a fix that I can download.
February 2, 200818 yr Workaround, don't move all units from the old group to new when splitting a group. We handed off the first game patch to AGSI on Monday, who knows how long it will take to filter down to players, certainly too long as it isn't available yet.

Thanks Tony.
