Final TI map crashes with internal error
Hey, hopefully this is the correct place to ask this.
Basically I've been working on a map for several days and have run numerous play tests throughout its creation. I have encountered several instances where the map crashes immediately after loading, I've been able to fix all of these - usually something like tiberium on a slope. But now it's crashing every time, and I've checked every tile and there's no tiberium on any slopes. I have only added in a new elevated urban area with high concrete cliffs. Also all cliffs seem to be fine.
What else might cause a map to crash? Would it be helpful to post the crash log? I check it every time I encounter a crash and the log always states the same thing.

What's weird is how it crashed immediately several times in a row, but on one occasion it ran for several minutes after changing the starting locations, allowing me to explore the map a little before it crashed. It then returned to crashing immediately. I've tried playing the map without auto-reveal enabled as well, but nothing seems to change the crash. It's a normal temperate map with no triggers other than this auto-reveal and dusk lighting. QUICK_EDIT
Are you using the Invisible tiberium spreader dummy buildings?
If yes, make sure you don't have the Purple Tiberium Spreader placed near slopes.
The 4th tiberium is hardcoded to have no slope tiberium patches, thus when the spreader dummy building spawns the 4th tiberium on a slope, the game crashes.
Due to the randomness in direction and range of the spreader, it can happen to take a while before the game crashes, or crash immediately. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings
