Defect Name: GetMemAnnex Error: IS_DISK

Build: HCE 2008.024

Repeatable: Yes

Operating System: Windows Vista Ultimate x64

DB used: HCDB-080406

Scenario used: Kodak Moment

Battleset: EC2003 IOPG

Long Description: The error described in this topic description was displayed randomly during a scenario with seemingly no provocation from myself.

 

Process:

- Open GE

- Open the attached save for EC2003 IOPG named "KodakMoment1".

- Run until error

- Note error displayed

 

Expected Behaviour:

 

Game should continue running without error

 

Exhibited Behaviour:

 

Game stops and crashes to desktop after displaying the GetMemAnnex error

 

 

Notes:

 

I have now tested this with the 2008.035 GE which addresses an issue with a GetMemAnnex: IS_DISK error and it appears to work ok in this version.

 

This is perhaps something to be aware of should any of the playerbase come across the issue.

 

I would however still appreciate someone testing the save to make sure it is the release version that has the issue, not my computer, since I run all my testing on the latest beta versions on a Virtual PC with XP SP2 installed.

 

Tony - You probably need take no action with this since you have fixed it, but it has now rendered the current scenario I am playing useless until the patch is released for the retail version. others will likely encounter this one sooner or later.

 

EDIT IMPORTANT PLEASE READ -----

 

In testing this further for a workaround I have found out that the problem occured due to me updating to the latest version of HCDB today...

 

After I reverted to the original DB that was present with 2008.024 (HCDB-080122) the problem was rectified and the scenario now continues. This will be something to be aware of if users have updated to the latest version of HCDB and are experiencing the above issue.

 

Workaround:

 

Replace latest version of HCDB with the previous version which worked (HCDB-080122), until next patch release for HCE

Thanks for the report, looks like there are some lessons for DB maintainers in this one...

Lesson: Don't switch database versions between your saved games.

Yes yes, silly boy I know

 

Both its worth keeping a note of incase someone else reports this in the community forums, im sure there are more than just the one idiot out there?! lol please dont let me be the only one.
