I don't know what happened. It just crashed, but here's the log:

What map?

Seems a bit odd, is this repeatable on your install Bacon?

DOH...

I asked because of the AOI error, didn't notice the map name right above that.

[Red Devil]

try this:

from pb5 changelog:

- Fix for mantis #1778. Added warning if > 1000 AOIs (Areas of
Interest) are found on a map when it's loaded. (Map included in bug
had 96432 AOIs, which is *really* excessive.) Also added commandline
param "-DeleteAOIsOnLoad" (bz2edit.exe only) to delete all AOIs from
the first map loaded. Updated readme13.rtf to document that
param. [NM]

[Baconboy]

I'm so sorry, but I don't understand what you said. Could you put what I'm supposed to do in steps. I'm not good with pc coding.

Couple of questions:
1. Will this happen again? (according to RD's post it seems like it will)
2. Was it my fault or the host's fault?
3. Has this happened before with other players?

Sorry, I just have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to coding.

Not coding, just command line. The same as adding -nointro to your shortcut, or making a shortcut to launch a mod.

[Red Spot]

This concerns a released map. If he does make local changes to this map using BZ2Edit doesnt that cause bad assets or so in MP?

Baconboy-
The question as to whether this was a 1-time crash, or a repeatable one should be answerable by you without any special technical knowledge. Thanks.

Basically, it's a corrupt savegame sent on joining. Can't tell more without more info, such as the question above.
