KevNZ -> [1.04b8] Transfering(Merging) GR-units after Strategic Movement causes CTD. (7/19/2020 7:20:16 AM)

Pretty much what it says on the tin. This crash has existed since 1.00. I figured if it hasn't been fixed by now, I should probably say something.

Steps to replicate.

1) Find unit outside of Capital.
2) Strategically move unit to Capital with SHQ1.
3) Transfer Unit back into SHQ1.
4) ???
5) Crash.

Thanks for reporting. Couldn't repeat this however.

What version of SE are you using? and what is step4?

Apologies Vic. There is a no step 4. That was meant as a joke. But instead of 'Profit', I wrote 'Crash' see?

I'm running 1.04b8.

Odd. I just tried it again. It only seems to happen when I merge GR units after strategically moving them. Specifically GR-Infantry. Though I recall the same happening with GR-Machineguns.

If you have a savegame from which you can repeat the crash please mail it to vic@vrdesigns.net and add some exact constructions like 1) str.transfer 1st BG to 33,32. 2) transfer all to 1st SHQ => Crash.
Much appreciated!
best wishes,
Vic

1.04b8: Happened to me too. There was no need to strategic move though.

a) have a unit like hunters tribe militia in capital (I think all militia types might have the problem)
b) transfer ALL units to SHQ thereby disbanding the unit.
c) press cancel
d) CRASH

I could avoid it by doing the following:

c2) select another unit
d2) press cancel
e2) no CRASH.

Hi Blume,

Same for you. If you have a savegame from which you can repeat the crash please mail it to vic@vrdesigns.net and add some exact constructions like 1) str.transfer 1st BG to 33,32. 2) transfer all to 1st SHQ => Crash.
Much appreciated!
best wishes,

I literally tried to reproduce it for an hour now, it never occurred again (still the same version it happened in 1.04b8).

a) Before that it happened about ca. 10 times.
b) it always involved COMPLETELY transferring all entities from a unit to the SHQ thereby dissolving it and immediately afterwards pressing CANCEL -> CRASH.
c) changing the target unit and the source unit before pressing CANCEL helped for it not to happen any more.



EDIT: an afterthought: if you have more than 15 units on your capital hex and you try UNIT
TRANSFER, you cannot transfer some of them any more since you cannot display all of them at once (or by other means, since there are no scrolling bars).
