[V1.03 Geoscape] Soldier Equipment Crash

[ivra]

This is just to notify you that the soldier equipment crash is still in the game, unfortunately. I have had two crashes when clicking on the Soldier Equipment Screen after a ground combat. It seems even harder to specify what is causing it now than before. Now it seems to be at random. In both my crashes I did not get a wounded soldier, and therefore did not use the medikit. I save every turn, and I think I loaded the game during ground combat in both of these two crashes. Not sure about this, but I might have had a soldier wounded or killed in both of these battles, and then reloaded the game to try again. I also noted that after the battle some soldiers was promoted and some got a boost to their health. Maybe that is a factor? On the other hand I am pretty sure I have had soldiers gaining ranks and health before without causing the game to crash. As before, loading the game during the ground combat will not reproduce the crash.

I have a very general and vague idea of what might be the cause of this crash. I still think it is related to saving and loading the game during ground combat. Can it be that the state of the game is not properly restored in some situations when loading the game during ground combat? But when restarting the game and loading a game in geoscape the state of the game is properly set. Just a thought.

Does anybody have an idea of what we can do to help getting rid of this bug?

Now that you mention saving and reloading, I've been playing ironman since it got released and I haven't seen this crash at all. Though I am having trouble with some of my equipment going on walkabout, I haven't crashed.

I'd put your comments in this thread: http://www.goldhawkinteractive.com/forums/showthread.php/10238-Soldier-Equip-Screen-Crash

I don't get the crash very often at all, but then I very rarely save / load the game even when I don't play on Iron Man. It is possible that's something to do with it.
