This thread is about collecting RA2 crashes and why they exactly happen, please only post crashes that you've been able to recreate and make sure that you have XP SP3 Compatibility Mode enabled.
What use does this have if we can't fix the crashes? Well even without that we're still able to try to avoid them
So, here's the list so far, some aren't 100% confirmed:
Random Crashes
Happen in Windowed Mode only(?) when Compatibility Mode isn't enable
"Can't Win" Crash
Game crashes after you win a match, probably because it fails to load something
I have a theory that if you never stop a match(say that you keep it for later), the game seems to write something into the teams file and I guess that value just causes problems.
Bot import Crash
Create a new bot on a new never used file, delete it and import a new one on the same slot, open it by double clicking -> crash
I guess the game still keeps the old bot data in the background(you can still drive your last loaded bot in the menu!) and gets confused why there's suddenly a new bot on the place that had it's original bot.
Sometimes the game likes to crash when double clicking a bot as well, however opening it up with the editor button on the bottom right never seems to cause any issue.
