Yes, I have read viewtopic.php?f=4&t=20613
The game crashes when I try to test a scene or area. However, it also happens on the scenes that are included with the game. I've also created my own scene and it keeps crashing, so it's not a problem of "version incompatibility".

Is there a solution for this?

Having the same problem. Can't test any of the custom scenes I make because it crashes. It says that cortexcommand.exe has stopped working. Using a windows vista pc. Help Please!

Did you install CC in /Program files/?

I'm having the same problem too. My CC is installed to a Games folder on my desktop. I can open and create new scenes, but as soon as I hit "Test" it crashes.

I have this same problem.
Does it matter where we save our scenes? I just saved it in /Base.rte since that was the default option.
I also added an area for a drop-zone like a regular skirmish map, but to no avail.

Aah! Overwhelmed! Can one (or more) of you post the .ini.
I wants to inspects it!

Which .ini? I'm new to the game, so I'm not exactly sure what's a common thing around here

Ok here's my .ini file. I'm going to try and fiddle with some of the values later, it looks like the difference between custom maps and the pre-made ones are in some new values at the beginning.

I got my map to show up in the skirmish menu but only under the prospecting missions by moving it from base.rte/scenes to base.rte/scenes/scenes, so not quite what I'm aiming for.
I have no real idea how to get the map setup for any of the skirmish modes though, and the editor and files provide no clues whatsoever. Great.
to me it looks like they just didn't update the scene editor with this build to work with all the new skirmish modes, because creating and testing scenes in B23 works fine.

I have the same problem. Everything's fine until I try to test a scene or area.
