[Trigger] Game Cache problem

[Chaosy]

hi, when I try to use game cache in my campaign it crashes.
I got 2 maps, when I go from map 1 to map 2 it does work every unit is transfered.

however when I want to go back (from map 2 to 1) it crashes and brings me back the chapter selection.

I know there is many leaks in those triggers no need to point that out. They are not a part of the problem.

edit: it seems like "Game - Save game as cave.w3z and load main.w3z (Skip scores)" in map 2 is the problem. Because if I use change level instead it works. But still no idea how to fix it :-/
edit 2: ok I can confirm that it finds the .w3z it is supposed to load, because if I put something that is invalid it doesnt crash. So when I save in map 1 I somehow save something corrupted that cant be read or what?
edit 3: it does not mater if I disable to load triggers in map 1. Either its wrong at the enter map 1 trigger in map 2 or I have saved something corrupted.
edit 4: can it because of size limit? I know exactly this happens if your map is over 8 mb. However my map is 7.5 mb but the save from map 1 is 1.5 mb which maked 1 mb extend if that count when loading.
edit 5: the save file is not corrupted. I can find the saved file and when I load it manually from the wc3 mainscreen it works.
edit 6: OMFG I SOLVED IT! (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) it was the path lenght... I didnt think the campaign name would count -.- wow this is stupid

 

[Adiktuz]

size limit is only for MP maps...

btw, why are you saving/loading Map 2?

 

[Chaosy]

no it isnt. There is a 8 mb limit on the campaign maps aswell. Or rather 8 mb per invidual map you just have to abuse the campaign imports.

becauase I want to be ableto walk back to map 1

 

[Adiktuz]

I never used Save/load on my transition campaigns... I find it better to reinitialize the maps when I go there...

 

[Chaosy]

that would require tons of variables trasnsfers. I mean which triggers was run before where did the units stand progress on quests etc. This is the method blizzard used.

 

[Adiktuz]

Well, yes... though if you need those data into the other maps too, then you're better off saving them into the cache... and reinitializing the map clears any unnecessary data accumulated...

anyway, AFAIK, the save file size shouldn't really matter...

btw

ok I can confirm that it finds the .w3z it is supposed to load, because if I put something that is invalid it doesnt crash. So when I save in map 1 I somehow save something corrupted that cant be read or what?

So putting an invalid .w3z doesn't cause it to crash? what happens if you do that? coz last time I tried that, it sent me straight back to the chapter selection

 

[Chaosy]

I put in adasj.w3z and then nothing happens.
the units in the map gets removed in preperation for map switch but nothing happens
