[Fix]Runtime error with map designer

from Sins Forums

Hey, just trying to work through Beta 3 right now, which I am super stoked for -- but keep running into bugs. Just tried opening map designer and got a run-time C++ error right from the first click!

Also have had a game crash to minidump twice near the very beginning, without showing any signs of slow-down or any issues all the way to the sudden, inexplicable crash. No apparent cause (though there obviously must be one).

Here goes to a third try -- let's hope I can do SOME 'testing' tonight.

Delete all your custom maps.

OK. Custom maps deleted. Other, more irritating problems remain though...

I just ran into my third in-game mini-dump in a row.. it seems to take less than 10-20 minutes of play now for them to happen. Game does it really efficiently too though -- no slow-down or show of problems until it happens and then BAM, minidump!

that is a pain to do can't you set it up so that it can be done ingame in options in manage files
