Hmm, this sounds similar to 0000987 which I asked to be closed since I wasn't getting that issue anymore.

The difference however is that I was getting a crash on returning to the arena.

Is this with a game that you transferred between versions?

No, I left my old game behind.

I tried again a few times, and somehow it worked a few times returning, till it crashed on return to the arena, as you were saying.

On 0.31.06 I thought of trying out the arena, and this happened.

You said you were using Legacy, so how does the SDL version work for you as thats what I'm using?

It could be an issue with the Legacy version and not the SDL as I've done the arena a whole lot of times with .06 and have had no issues.

Well for all I've heard the only difference is something to do with the graphics/rendering. edit: Input handling too..
I'll check out the SDL version though.

edit: Even if SDL fixes it though, Legacy still has to fix this bug.
Downloading SDL now.


edit2: SDL has no problem at all, it seems. Legacy is in need of a bugfix. The main problem was returning and letting the base AI for the unit to take over again.

Thats what I thought. Although since Toady is planning on switching over fully to the SDL version and leavng the Legacy version behind, I'm not sure when he is planning on doing so.

Sounds like something that would be relatively easy to isolate though and it's a major bug as far as the arena goes.

I reported a bug like this in 0001316 on version 31.03, but I haven't retested it since. It looks like the same problem you're having.

Thanks, Bloodbeard. I'm marking this as a duplicate of yours, since yours came first and makes a good case for the bug's cause.
