Can no longer use modded maps with 1.09e

from Stardock Forums

I've downloaded a bunch of different maps for Elemental prior to this evening, and have used them in the past without any difficulty.  Now, my game crashes when I try to use a downloaded map.  I can use a randomly generated map without difficulty.  I've tried this with a few different maps and have crashed each time.

Can anyone else confirm this as a bug?

Exactly, Snarl, Exactly.

It looks like it was caused by poor error trapping of the new code that sets the map size on when you load a map e.g. if it can't find a matching size it falls over rather than handling it gracefully.

i guess that hotfix was the update that went from 1.09e to 1.09e with a quick download - i was making dinner at the time i updated - and i was like - Hmmm... thought i imagined it actually. 

 

couldn't have called the hotfix 1.09ee ....nooo that would be too simple lol
