1.03 Ctd - Paratroopers

[CHAINSAW]

As Germany I'm getting CTD by loading a paratrooper and then moving the transport to rebase (not paradrop) into any Italian province. No CTD for rebasing in German provinces. Effect is repeatable.

I'm Germany playing on hard/furious, 1939 scenario, 1.03 with no mods. Currently in late 1940, Italy is an ally, as is Rom & Hun. (France is Vichy puppet, annexed Pol, Nor, Den, Lux, Yugo, Greece, Iraq, Persia - left Bel & Hol alone). Not doing anything "wierd" with the paras (have not used them in combat yet this game). This kept happening under 1.02 so I don't like to build them anymore (but makes it hard to take Malta).

I will uninstall, reload and patch to 1.03 and try again.

That one's happened to me occassionally as well, but I also seem to get a paratrooper CTD with paradrops into FoW zones as well... but neither happens consistently. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't... a very odd occurrance.

I reinstalled and tried again with worse results - now any rebasing of a loaded transport causes CTD.

Anybody else having paratroop CTD's?? Is there a work around? (I've not seen one posted yet).

I just had the same CTD. I tried to rebase a loaded transport plane, instead of having it drop it's paratroops, into a British terratory.

I've also been experiencing the paratrooper CTD as Germany. It does not seem to matter if I drop from friendly territory to an enemy fog-of-war provence (Sicily to Suez) or just transfer from friendly to friendly (Kuwait to Rhodes). I'm using 1.03 off a clear install.

My "fix" is to tell the game to save every month and hope for the best with each paradrop.

Mail me a save of this

Well, after testing the save game, it's not doing it now. I'll play with it a bit more (it was hitting later, after Malta and Ireland fell). With the autosave monthly on, I should be able to capture a save game closer to the CTD. Unless this is a totally transient bug....
