While playing this mod, I couldn't help but notice that in the new version (beta 2) the game has a weird tendency to crash whenever you switch battle plans using the strategy center. Mostly this happens when you switch to the hold the line one when the computer opponent is throwing alot of things at you. At first I thought this was because I had custom ini files in the mod's folder to change the max camera height and the amount of general points, so I took them out but it still crashed. My next reaction was to think that it was a problem with my copy of zero hour, so I reininstalled it, put the mod back in but it still crashed. At this point I tried one last thing and ran the mod on my old pc that has windows 7 instead of 10 on it, and set up a skirmish map with the USA socom general against a medium gla chinese opponent. When the game was almost over I switched plans at the strategy center, and it didn't crash. This worries me since it might mean the mod doesn't work on windows 10 or something on windows 10 might be making the scripts for the strategy center crash, since nothing happened on my old computer.


P.S. Everytime the game crashed because of the strategy center, generals put this error log in my documents, and it always says "; Reason Uncaught Exception in GameEngine::update" which might mean it's a problem with the mod itself. I also think it might be because the computer opponent is using some kind of unit they don't have scripts to use, which would explain why the crashing is somewhat random. If I use the strategy center early in the match it won't crash. It only does it once the game gets going and he has some new units.

Thanks for all your efforts.

I'm pretty sure this crash happens because switching Battle Plans will disable all your units, which is apparently not working for a select few units. I've had this crash before, but I can't really remember if I ever managed to fix it. I'll look into it if I find anything.

Thanks. At this point I just think it would be easier to get a virtual machine that has windows xp on it and play the game/mod through that, since windows 10 is notorious for not working with anything, especially an old game like this. I ran a really long match on my old computer for about an hour and used the strategy center and was able to finish the game without it crashing. On this computer though it'll always crash whenever I hit bombardment.

I encountered a bug where the AI doesn't do anything after around 20 minutes in game. This bug appeared on the map Green Pastures, playing as Nuke general and against Secret Weapon general (medium AI). Does the AI do this on every map and every difficulty?

I have a question about the bug forum. I wanted to post a bug regarding the AI, but the ai bug forum folder is locked, as well as most of the bug report fora. Why is this? I wanna help /:

I encountered a bug where stealth fighters ceep on flying when they are destroyed (the destroyed plane keeps flying in circles). It happenes almost every game when playing against USA airforce.
