Crash During "Chasing Shadows"
I've had multiple crashes during "Chasing Shadows" at different points during the mission.

Log attached.

Thanks!

The log shows FSO quitting successfully, not crashing.

Hmm, odd...

Re: Crash During "Chasing Shadows"
That one just suddenly stops without recording the error; unfortunately, that makes it effectively useless for troubleshooting. However, I notice you seem to be using 3.7.4 RC1. Could you try it with a recent Nightly Build instead? If that doesn't crash, I think it's probably a ship-spawning bug that was already fixed, and 3.7.4 RC2 should work when that gets released.

Re: Crash During "Chasing Shadows"
I'm getting a crash on this mission too.  The timing is completely random.  Sometimes I get it within a few seconds of the mission starting.  Sometimes much later.  I just tried a hunch and opened the mission in FRED and deleted the event that replaces the ships with hulks and played it again.  Things seemed to be going better and I made it much further into the mission.  Unfortunately, I did poorly enough that the Hope got destroyed, so I restarted.  Unfortunately, I experienced the same random crash.  Then I reopened it in FRED and deleted the debris field, but got the crash again.

I had played on a recent debug and got a CTD with the following message:

Assert: num == bm_bitmaps[n].handle

I tried to include my log in an attachment, but the file size limit is 2 MB, and my log is about 2.7 MB.  Yes, I'm using a filter file so that may have a bearing on the massive file size.

Your debug log could very well have something helpful, if all filters are active; I'd very much like to take a look at it.

Pastebin wouldn't work for me.  It told me that my post exceeds its 512 KB-per-paste limit.

Like, email me or send it via Skype or something because anything that could help even narrow down the problem would be helpful.

Or, like, Google Drive or something, since you most likely have a Google account already.

I don't have your email account and its not in your profile.  PM me with it if you want me to send it that way.

I just completed the mission twice with no problems using the latest nightly build.

Looks like your hunch was right, but if there's anything you need from me, let me know.

Thanks!

Re: Crash During "Chasing Shadows"
As I noted in another thread in the Support forum, it appears that I WASN'T using the latest builds, due to the launcher ignoring the presence of any build newer than April 1st.  I will also try to replay this mission with the hulk Atens and Typhon reactivated, and the debris field reinstated.  I have high hopes that it will succeed.
