Crash after zooming

Postby TripH » Fri Aug 27, 2004 4:08 pm

And again, this error is reproduceable. After the help guy telling me to zoom by the middle mouse button, I press space and do what he sais. I zoom in, zoom out and can't access the help function anymore (it just does nothing when I press 'h'). Then, when pressing Alt, it crashes.

Sorry, I was a bit too quick on that one. In about 3 out of 4 cases, that game crashes as described above. In every case though, I can't access the help function anymore.

I believe you aren't getting any more help messages after the zoom one because that is in fact the last help topic available by pressing the 'h' key. If you zoom immediately after loading the game, or after any othe rhelp message, I think you'll find you can still see the following messages.

Also, the crashing problem with the Alt key may be related to the problem of having an officer selected after training.

No, there's no officer around. And if that's the case (no more help messages after the zooming), there shouldn't be a message saying "press h for help" on the top. More like a class B/C bug now, but there still is the crashing issue.
