Wargus 2.2.7 crashes when loading a save game on Ubuntu 12.04

[Donavon Zilversmit]

Since I updated Wargus to 2.2.7, it crashes when I load a save game. I'm using it on Ubuntu 12.04.

It should already be fixed in trunk (at rev. 8465 : Fix a crash when loading 'recycling' units.)

Thanks for report.

Now, how do I get that bug fix?

Got the same on Win7x64. How can I get the fix?

I think It's pretty critical, 'cause it interfers playing too much(

There is an unofficial nigthly exe here (8483) for windows:

Latest (8493) has just internal 'cosmetic' changes.

You may also build yourself stratagus from source.

Hi

I have now found that whilst doing a campang, I get to the forth level and it crashes out the same, will that be fixed also ?

I'm still having this bug using 2.2.7 on Ubuntu 13.10, but it only happens when loading a saved campaign scenario.

For people who fail to obtain any good relaease and want to avoid this bug, I found a wrok around you can try

Open save game :
- for example game.sav inside game.sav.gz, under hidden user subdirectory xxx\AppData\Roaming\Stratagus\wc2\save
- look for "SlotUsage" keyword then cleanup this line as described below

You should have something like :
SlotUsage(582, {Slot = 537, FreeCycle = 423046}, {Slot = 455, FreeCycle = 423060}, ...)

Simply replacet it with :
SlotUsage(582)
