Crash when I hit 'O' to rotate a unit in setup


Recommended Posts

I've noticed a tendency in certain scenarios (SP-The Library, Action at Manutchskaya) for the game to crash (type 2) when I'm in setup and hit 'O' to rotate a unit. This happens if smoke is set at high-res, even if there's no smoke present on map (Action at Manutchskaya) - the computer then has to be rebooted (and another scenario loaded, & the smoke bumped down to compatible) before it will work right. It's quite reproducible on my machine.

I'm assuming this is somehow due to my PowerBook having only 8 MB of RAM on the graphics adapter, but am not sure - it's a bit of an odd one, especially since there isn't actually any smoke displayed on one of those maps. The problem dates back at least to 1.01, which is where I first saw it - but with the large amount of smoke on that one scenario, I didn't report it because I wasn't really surprised that it overstressed the computer. ;) I really can't fathom why there's a problem in Action at Manutchskaya, though. I also can't imagine why pressing 'O' triggers it - rotating camera is fine!

Any ideas on what the real problem might be? I can deal with this oddity, but figured that since I've developed a workaround that seems reliable, I'd post it here.
