Game shutdown with no IE?

[~Guest~]

Oh, I see now, I didn't realize it wouldn't happen if there was not enough units on the list. Never saw anything that said that....Thanks, now I know why these things happen that contradict my knowledge. But I still don't know something: Why does my game shut down without an internal error? Is this an error on my behalf? I think so, as after that, I played another game, and it shut down again, just this time MUCH later into the game than the other two times, which happened in about 30 minutes, whereas my last one happened after an hour and 15 minutes...Does the AirportBound= tag have a limit? Because it shut down when I clicked on the icon of an AirportBound aircraft, and I have alot of aircraft listed in it...O_o I'm confused now.

I'd bet it has something to do with HRPY, HRPYB, or BNSH. Oh wait, would a missing weapon cause a shut down if you try to build that unit? I think I missed the elite weapons on the last three aircraft....=(

Missing Elite weapons cause crashes when the unit is supposed to turn Elite.

You can try running the game with -log, maybe that will tell you something.

[~Guest~]

Is running the game with logfile writing just as simple as

The log file - which has probably been disabled before Westwood released the game - shows us some interesting information about how the game works and gives us possible reasons for Internal Errors.
The bad thing is that it slows down the game noticably.

However, you can enable it by running the game with the -log command.
Go into your RA2 directory and type the following into the "Address" bar:

ra2md -log

The game will run as ever (but more slowly) and write the log stuff to the "DEBUG.txt" file, which will be created in the RA2 dir.

?

Oh wait, of course it's as simple as that. I'll try it tomorrow (after I get some sleep).

Edit: I just got it to generate an Internal Error (for some unexplainable reason) and I found out that I was indeed actually missing ALL of the weapons. heheheh...whoops. Well, haven't playtested it yet, as I DO have to get some sleep, so I might have to post AGAIN. Hopefully this is the final post.

[DCoder]

Well, this has nothing to do with the 100 unit bug, so I've exercised my special powers and merged your three posts into one, and split the aircraft stuff to a separate thread.
