taylor 2005-03-19 17:26 administrator ~0001987	Which missions specifically? What build are you using? I assume that you are using something around 3.6.5. Current builds have that setting dynamic so there is no limit. Older builds could have serious issues with badly designed missions which go over the limit. This manifests itself in many strange ways from all out crashes to rendering problems to corrupted data. Previously, hitting the limit was fatal for Debug builds only but for 3.6.5, and other builds around the same time, hitting the limit was fatal in Release builds too. This was done to help people avoid problems from the bad missions. Please try a newer build that doesn't have a hard coded limit.

taylor 2005-03-23 14:07 administrator ~0002033	Bad missions, not really a code problem. Ultimately it's been addressed in code but to work properly with older builds, and retail, the missions need to be modified to work within the set limits. Closered.
