SCMDraft crashes when saving the 40th revision of the 0th version of my Volcano Run map. Crash occurs even when no changes have been made. I can remove all sounds and save the map without a crash, but any other alterations on top of that lead to a crash.

Weirder still is this little quirk: I can still use the editor while it's behind the "Something bad happened" message. In fact, I can even use File>Save and File>Save As.... The editor only crashes when I click a button on the error dialog.

So I guess what I'm wondering is, what the hell is going on and can someone fix this, because while I can still edit, I'm worried that saving with a "Something bad happened" may lead to map corruption in the future. (Actually, the map may already be corrupted. It looks normal in Classic Trigger Editor and the Strings look fine, but I haven't actually played any of the glitched maps in SC yet.)

Maps attached. v0d39 is a previous iteration with no bug. v0d40 is glitched. v0d40 nosound is v0d40 saved with sounds removed. v0d40 test lol delete me was saved with "Something bad happened" on screen, by opening FIle>Save As... after the error message appeared.

I can save those maps fine. Try renaming/deleting backupDB.scmdDB in your SCMDraft2 folder and save your map again. If that file gets too large it's been known to cause crashes.

Yep, that fixed it. It was at 2.00GB. Topic has served its purpose! :D
