Uhh, you just attached an older version of the SDK header file. (The one that was broken up into the files in the Outpost2DLL folder).

Do you have any more info on the crash?

Well.   This happend on Around The World.
I think it might be related to the "world view" button, but cannot be completely sure.   Pushing this button HAS resulted in the game just simply quitting though, so chances are this is related.

perchance it has to do with memory allocation errors. I'm not sure where the code is that deals with the globe view, but I could see it allocating extra memory for that (or referencing invalid extra memory). Maybe it assumes that a GlobalAlloc call wouldn't fail. lol. I've never seen the code though so it could be a number of problems.

I've never had that problem though either, so I couldn't reproduce it.
