win XP pro. No crashes yet, neither in LV or SPWAW in general.

Status: offline 		What version of SPWAW are you running, OOB version, and have you installed LV patch 1.1 as a minimum? And how did you arrive at your current version of SPWAW. There are still some bugs in LV and the designer is still working on a final patch to be released within the next 2 months.

Status: offline 		Chilly let me check my node sheet when I get home and see if that battle still had problems after the current patches that was being repaired in the final patch. Ok I'm not showing that to be a problem child but if it's having a consistant problem with that particular battle maybe something slipped under the radar that is being reworked in the final patch. Several appeared to be fixed that cropped up at a later date posing problems depending on the previous path arriving to it.

Status: offline 		thanks GMENFAN... I appreciate your help.......I have started lost victories 5 different times and everytime it ends at that battle on that turn crashing over and over......the only other thing I can add is that its a soviet machine gun that fires on the soviet turn that seems to be the trigger for the crash back to desktop.....and if I restart the save it does the same thing at that turn..
