Missions crashing

[VonGuber]

I've just had 2 campaign missions stop for no apparent reason. Both times it crashed back to the campaign manager screen (the one with the briefing, duty roster, go to field options....) The second time I ran a replay of the mission, and at the end it said something about exiting the program and referred me to the OFFlog.text file in the campaign data. Here are the last few lines.

 

<N.B.: I haven't run OFF in a month or so, don't know if that would be an issue or not.

The "X"s after the phrase "Buffer this run is: are really a long line of small boxes, but they wouldn't copy so I substituted.

So, has anyone seen this before, and more importantly, how do I fix it?

Any insight appreciated, but "clean install" will not be my first choice...I'd like to save my campaign pilot(s).

Thanks Al,

I havent' done anything at all to the system, but I'll double-check the sliders. Who knows what gremlins may have gotten in? I should have plenty of processing power, but on the other hand there is a lot more activity in the campaigns now. Quick combats don't seem to crash, so it may well be the sliders.
