[REPRODUCIBLE] CTD on start .. (2.3.9)

[Goth Zagog-Thou]

If you have a Warzone2100.RPT file in your 'logs' directory, you'll get a CTD on the start of any campaign on Win32.

This has caused me to lose a few hours' worth of work -- debugging Research stuff for Cam4, no less -- and I deleted the (what I thought) was the offending code from my scripts. Turns out this was the problem. I have no issues starting Cam 4 when this file isn't in logs.

Thought you guys would like to know. Now I get to put my research code back into my scripts, heh.

I can't replicate this.

Hmm.. ok.

It's not that big of a deal. Just thought I'd pass the word along.

There is something else going on, nothing in the log directory is really used for input. Only savegames, and the config file are read in when needed.

The issue seems to have fixed itself somehow. Maybe there was something I was doing while enabling research in Cam 4 that it didn't like.

Weird.
