incompatibility bugs in 2.2c

[aedwards at tripos.com]

Any known compatability problems in 2.2c with
data files that used to work on 2.2? FWIW the
trouble I've got lately had the same problem in 2.2a.

My trouble:

I have some WAB datafiles I created for an upcoming supplement,
so they are not really official or maintianed by the regular
guy watching WAB. They used to work for most of the year without
a problem. But lately some of the testers downloaded 2.2a and
started having problems not getting the datafiles to "work".

This week I tried to track down the problems. AB allows me
to pick the game system and then parses the list of available
armies just fine, but when I select one of the successor data
files AB crashes. Oddly enough it works fine with the original
WAB files I didn't touch, and it works with some data files I've
since wrote for yet another supplement. It is just the AB files
for this particular one. Also the data files appear to read
into ABCreator just fine as well.

These files used to work great, and have done so for most of
the year. It was only recently when people started upgrading
to 2.2a when problems arose.

Any ideas? If you've got the time to diagnose this Rob, I can
email you some of the data files.

To my knowledge, the patch releases (V2.2a through V2.2c) have not
introduced any new engine functionality and only fixed existing problems.
So data files should now work correctly if there were errors previously
(i.e. new problems should not have been introduced). However, it's possible
that something slipped through. Please send me the files so that I can test
it out on this end. Also include detailed instructions on how to reproduce
the problems and any additional information you can regarding how the data
files are organized (this is critical if augmentations are being employed).
I'll make some time to look into this for you.

Thanks, Rob
