Hi, trying to play with the atomic efile and the game keeps crashing when deployment is done. Is there a place for logs that I could look at?

So far I have restarted the campaign and reinstalled twice but on the Battle of Hel it crashes to desktop after deployment is complete.

I can upload a save file if that would help.

Yes please, it is hard to know why tht happens without a savegame to test.
Please upload te xcam file, the xscn file before the crash, the xcsv before the end of the last scenario, the xscn file when the crash happens.

As reported before, I have the same problem, but only in a scenario directly after a choice scenario. After deployment the game immediately crashes to the desktop. This started to happen after the update to the newest version of OG.
Since nobody seems to play other campaigns with choice scenario I want to play a campaign from LXF efile and see what happens after the choice scenario.

Good idea, because I could not replicate the crash using the save games you provided

Couldn't find a way to directly upload to the forums so here's a google drive link

I made some tests with LXF and the "We search for ways" campaign and the choice scenarios work fine.

And the crashes i experience after a choice scenario with Atomic only started to happen with the newest version of OG.
Honestly, it is very frustrating because I don't see where I made a mistake because the choice scenarios worked for years

If I load the auto save after Battle of Hel it crashes the next scenario after the choice. I played it with the previous version of OG without problems.
Seems this is the end

Are you considering - editions in the wrong Suite? (recent confusion with versions)
Can this be run normally in previous versions of the game?

Browsing the code I think that I've found which, probably, is the reason of the crashing, after a choice scenario.

Maybe the choice's map size is kept when loading units, instead of updating the size to the proper one, and then some units are not properly configured as the loader assume they are out of the map

Late today I'll test again if I am right ...

Sounds promising! Because most of the aux units are not visible at deployment. They are nowhere to be seen.
Fingers crossed

I was right, the choice's map size was responsible for the crash, when some unit deployed was out of the choice's map area.

That explains why it did not happen in every scenario after a choice.

The new executable is already compiled and tested as version 25.02.01.0, but if I have time this evening (to update all the related info), it will be available tomorrow.

Wonderful

But why did it not crash in previous versions of the game? It only happened with the newest version. The (map) pictures I use for the choice scenarios have the same size for a very long time (years).

Good question

Yes, both latest RC6c and 21.11.8.0 work fine, it is ver 24.12.10.0 who started that bug, thus I surely removed some condition when fixing the bug:
"Fixing a game crash after selling a unit at HQ and then clicking on AAR."

.. but I have no remark - in the code - helping my poor memory

Yay. at least the fix was easy to find.
