"Unknown Exception" with BOL every time - 10/2/2013 9:04:24 PM

Status: offline 		This bug seems to afflict H3 HUE 3.11.1 and H3 ANW 3.9.4, but not H3 3.6.3.

Specifically, any attempt to do a Bearing Only Launch, with any weapon, from any platform, using any database, results in an immediate fatal crash accompanied by a dialog box indicating "Unknown Exception".

Has anyone else seen this? Any workarounds? This is really debilitating for weapons such as the Russian Type 65 wake-homing torp - my usual tactic being to do a BOL into the expected path of an oncoming CVBG, at which point the big fish can raise some serious Hell.

I'd like to use HUE 3.11.1/ANW 3.9.4 due to their superior windowing ability (they can fill my 1080p screen better than the 1280x1024 limit on 3.6.3).

PS - Having a great time playing the old NACV scenarios that were ported over to PlayersDB. Nice work on that and much appreciated.

Status: offline 		Wow, fast reply. Thanks and hope you guys can track it down. Meanwhile, back to old 3.6.3 for a while. I wonder sometimes if my tactic is at all realistic. It's rather difficult to find source material re: Soviet torpedo doctrine for the big Type 65.

Oh dear...what's going on with this? I mean, BOL is a fairly major function that's used with a wide variety of weapons. It's not like some esoteric thing that never happens. How the heck did that make it through QA?

Anyway, I wonder if rolling back to an earlier build of either ANW or the 1st version of HUE (3.10) would fix the problem? I had a different copy of ANW 3.9.4 (not the one that came with HUE), and I don't recall this BOL show-stopper.

Try going back to 3.10.1a If I remember right thats the version I'm using now and don't get a crash...or use 3.6.3
