Title: Special Events Arena II - crashing aceshigh.exe attempting to log in to SEAII
Post by: TequilaChaser on January 12, 2018, 06:17:20 PM
I just updated to the new patch and noticed that everytime I try logging into SEAII arena which currently has the north sea terrain loaded that it immediately crashes the aces High Program

My first attempt at logging in, it downloaded a new north sea.res file ( terrain ), but once that was done when it tried to load/enter it immediately crashes

I successfully downloaded the Terrain in SEA I arena for tonight's FSO and was able to go to all other arenas with out any troubles

so is this a corrupt northsea.res file ? 

should I remove it and let it try to redownload it?

or what?

all other arenas and terrains are working like normal

hope this is helpful

I have just went and rebuilt and uploaded Northsea. So delete the downloaded northsea.res file from your computers and try getting it again and tell me what the result is.

Oh, and TequilaChaser so you were able to run the Northsea you were able to download it and run it in SEA I, Custom Arena and locally but in SEA II it crashed? Or it crashes anywhere you try to load it up?

Heya ghostdancer, I did not think of trying to see if northsea would work offline or in a custom arena

I'll fire up a computer and check it out to see if it will work offline, etc....and then I'll try your updated northsea res file, using the same method of trying it in different arenas/offline and will report back

Will follow up as soon as I can

I tried northsea offline and it CTDs also.

Can somebody load a functioning map into SEA2?  I'd like to get the February Scenario squad set up.

Have duplicated the crash.  Appears to be Task Group Related. I'm tracking down the problem.
---
Update this issue is with Field #2.

---
Update.
The issue is that you have a ship (CA) set as a country object.
---
Update.
I fixed the issue in the FE so next time a crash will not happen.
But I'm not sure of all the effects of having a ship country owned instead of field own. I would not recommend it with out lots of testing.
entered the arena and changed the terrain to ndisles.

Okay that was weird. Never meant to have CA set to a country object. Possible something went wonky when I first imported from the AH2 terrain to AH3. I found 2 CAs both have been removed.

C02BMB000
C02BMB001

Also found a bunch of shore batteries set to country objects to. Removed them.

C01BAS000
C01BAS001
C01BAS002
C01BAS003
C01BAS004
C01BAS005

Have uploaded the fixed terrain.
