Console debug command crash

[Wace]

Is it ok that some of the "debug_" commands in the console lead to crash? I mean it's not the proper feature of the game, so I'm not sure if I need to report it.

[Zenerka]

It is not, however I think some of them leading to crash is a known problem. Can you point out which debug commands?

[Wace]

Did testing. The only command which gives me unconditional crash is debug_listtech

I assume that's the command you've mentioned.

From where it crashes? In main menu? In Campaign? During a skirmish mission?

Techs (may) only defined in game modes, so the fix can be simply guard it with a check if a game is open.

In main menu it does nothing - isn't sent to server.
In skirmish mode it does nothing as well, although is recognized as a command.

In geoscape or tactical mode of campaign it leads to immediate crash, even if it's "blank" campaign with no research done. Here's the console output:
