When trying to start any battle, I get the screenshot screen, then the game exits to desktop.
The log looks like the game isn't aware of a problem:
...
Created AI player (team 0)
Created AI player (team 7)
-------------------------------------
Connecting to localhost...
load material file: 'materials/estate.mat'
Shutdown gametype 'Skirmish mode'
Shutdown server: Quitting server.
...
Happens with both freshly compiled maps and older compiles ie. before Mike's and my latest fixes.

Uhm...the one in the title of my post...

Yes.

No.
I also noticed it does NOT exit normally because the gamma setting is not reset.
So it's just me on Windoze XP ?

Forget it, I found out.
It doesn't happen with all the maps, only those that have few levels eg. fighter_crash or excavation.
And I know where to look for the bug ;)

Hi Duke,
I have went back and started up loading an old game which has a ready battle.
My OS = WinXP SP3.
Revision as of 24273.
I can run a normal game mode - save for some mail errors, and portrait of those commanders submitting proposals = missing face and stuff (some only).
When i enter the battle, it will crash out. Console will also be closed out.
However, when i loaded a new game, and chance upon another map (i thnk was a flat ground map in the forest or something, cant remember the map name, sorry), it seemed to load and then crashed out when i hit certain things......
Did not managed to get a thread out of it..... cos was like 1 2 am in the nite. lol. If u wan, i can compile today's version and get it up again to try. :)

Hmm...it's very different from what I thought it was.
rev 24256 deals with 'few-level-maps' eg. fighter_crash.map, so I thought that was the culprit.
But I found out that it's actually rev 24257 that introduces the CTD for those maps !
@Mattn:
The fact the CTD depends on the # of levels a map has implies a connection to routing. Not sure though.
Anyway, I need your help here.
@Odie:
No need to recompile the maps. At least not now.

Hi Mattn,
I realised that combat maps are enter-able again. (As of my current R24322)
Noticeably bug are:
1) Battlescape cannot be "RETRY" when u press the ESC key and clicking it - would result in game hang and u would need to force shutdown app.
2) Battlescape can crash halfway in battle.... not much time to provide a backtrace..... but will see if there's anyone who can do the backtrace b4 i do....
Otherwise, i have tested sniper rifle, rocket launcher (with AP rounds), assault rifle, laser rifle all works so far. They shoots enemies. I even managed to fire a rocket and kill an alien. Though 3 rounds into game, i am forced to ALT+CTRL+DEL (ACD) force shutdown app, as it crashed back to geoscape 1/2way into battle and hangs there..... (Console still there though.)
