Very random crash... Or is it just a bug?

Hi all

I have recently introduced a heavy tesla tank to the Russian. To test it, I allow them to be given to players at the beginning of skirmish.

With around 5 of them given, I rushed the opponent with them. Around 10 of these tanks fought with tesla flying all around and CRASH! Internal error blah blah blah...

It shouldn't be an error in INI. I tested these tanks individually. Building, fighting, dying, promoting... everything's fine. The game only seems to crash during epic battles involving these tanks, i.e. both sides having these tanks fighting against each other.

Just to give more details, I set their costs to a very low value (cost=20), just to test creating them. That means they promote very quickly as killing a conscript will instantly promote them to elite status.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
Felastine.

It sounds like Sight. If Sight with the promotion modifier get over 10, an IE happens.

Hmm, reminds me of my childhood that I used to create Super Tesla Tank for Russians when I test it 2 (Or more I forgot) of them together to destroy my own Nuclear Reactor and an IE comes out when Nuclear Reactor goes BOOM! Razz

I know about VeteranSight bug when units get over sight=10.0. But I read that comment about the megacrash so I didn't touch the modifier.

Hmmm...

It would have helped if you provided the EIP from the except for advanced people to trace the crash source potentially than play this guessing game.

Erm... Sorry but another crash from another issue (which is now fixed) erased the file. Will upload next time this random crash shows up.
