Unfortunately, 2.1.2 is not producing good crash reports, so these don't really help us.
Hopefully, 2.1.3 / 2.2 will be better.

The call stack is empty... does that mean the bug was in main()? That doesn't seem too hard to find...

No, it means that the crash dump is incomplete, for the reasons I stated.

that was all there was - no stderr i had just pushed the ESC button - and was going to save but instead the game just exited total to the desktop - (almost like i had pushed the windows button.)

what is the total number of units available now? is it still 300 per player? if so PLEASE knock it down to 150 per player (total). machine spec is 3.4 ghz with 2 gb of system ram and 128 mb of vid ram

It still is 300.
Maybe we should make it a config option for skirmish games?

[lav_coyote25]

my reasoning is this:

with 2 players that would be 600 units total.
with 4 players that would be 1200 units total
with 8 players that would be 2400 units total.

this is where most people are getting the weird things happening.... all those units driving / flying / building is going to bog the system down right? correct me if i am wrong.

at 150 units each the sytem would not bew as bogged down and possibly the weirdness will go away ?? again correct if thinking is in error. xD

Oh, you are 100% correct.
Path finding for 2400 units all moving around is a major strain.
Also add all the particle effects (lasers/shells/whatever), and it can really kill most systems. (At least, the way it is written now).

Wasn't it 150 before, then when the source code was released, it was changed to 300?

[lav_coyote25]

no it was 80 units total per player.

15 of those were/are trucks. the rest were whatever you wanted either wheels/halftracks/tracks/hovers - and/or cyborgs. and the game with those 80 were fairly great on small systems ( small system ram / small gfx cards.) the system requirements are still up if i am not mistaken... documents project - some where. xD

[lav_coyote25]

did this on exiting from a map... went right to desk top...
