GE 2025.017

BS Malacca (built in HCDB2 170909)

Attached zip with orignal scenario, two saved games (both should get to crash within a few secs, depends on luck of attacking SAM), two GE.LOG for respective saves but both very similiar.

Just let either save game run. it is somewhat inconsistent as the time taken before chopper is hit by sam seems to vary but this assertion failed notice comes up and then game crash.

StoreCrash1.zip

The assertion that is being triggered is effect4.c line 7014 which is checking that the next group to examine is a valid group and in this case it is not.

 

A little background on assertions Assertions in C/C++ - GeeksforGeeks

That helped, but I see why the site is called GeeksForGeeks

 

I have just had the same thing occur in my game.

Please let me know if you need anything else.

 

HCE - 2025.018 - 2025-03-31
===========================
- Chg:33867 GE eff100 could have the next group to be checked as an invalid
                pointer if that group were destroyed within functions called
                by eff100 Annex_D.  There may still be an edge case where this
                happens, that is if the topGroup is destroyed.
