[.295][Crash] Beta bug in Housing

from Elemental Forums

In a recent game, a CTD was caused whenever I chose Housing as a research advancement.  I kept loading my saved games and autosaves from the same world before the research advancement and every time housing was given as a choice, I chose it, and it crashed to desktop.

Next (keep in mind, this is during repeated trials of loading the same world) I tried choosing other research advancements, it did not cause CTD.  I hypothesized that it might be caused by having huts in queue when getting the Housing advancement, but I still got a CTD when I removed them from my construction queues.

Next, I razed all of my huts and chose Housing: no CTD, trying it about a half dozen times, whether I had huts in queue or not.

So my guess is: there is sometimes an error when existing huts are turned into houses.  But it doesn't always happen, just during some games.

 

(This occurred a few days ago when I originally wrote it up.  In the future I'll post error logs)

I got it. What I did : erase every hut I had. Choose the housing tech, rebuild every house. So the bug happens when the game try to enhance buildings.

Yeah, but for some reason not every time

Yes, it just bug when there's "too many" huts to upgrade. Or maybe ... if there's huts in build queue ? Maybe the game can't handle change huts in build queue in houses ?

That's one of the things I tested and I found that it wasn't the huts in queue that messed it up.  I was able to leave the huts in queue and raze the one's I'd built, but it didn't crash.
