Error at end of battle, did not receive VPs

[klavohunter]

When did you start the game - 1920
What nation were you playing? Germany
Were there any start options that were not the default?  Very Large Fleet, Treaty of Versailles, Historical Treaty of London
Describe the issue in detail.  After a hard-fought battle (large coastal raid, I think?) with my crap starting fleet against the Soviets' bigger, less-crappy starting fleet, I received an error message at the end of the battle, and did not get the battle details page displayed.  When I closed out of the battle, neither I nor the enemy received any VP for the battle.  I did observe that their ships were still sunk, though.
What were you doing when the bug occurred?  Sailing away from Aland until the clock ran out.
What did you expect to happen and how was the result you saw different than you expected.  I was expecting points and prestige for sinking a BB and BC, and maybe a favorable end to the war!  I'm going to need to find out how to edit in some VPs for my side!
Can you describe how to reproduce the bug?  No.

What version of the game were you playing? v1.02

Sorry, I was lazy and didn't take screenshots immediately, I thought the error message was just going to be one that went away harmlessly.  I can attach a save later, but not right now.

I had the same problem.  My vague recollection is that the error message had something about "ReportGenerator" in the name of the function that died.

If this happens again, there might be something you can do as a workaround.  I have a vague recollection from RTW1 that if I save the game after I close the battle report but before exiting the battle, then when I reload the game it pops me back into the battle for a minute or two - advancing time brings the "time limit expired" message again and takes you to the report again.  Frederik has said that saving and restoring often clears bad state; doing this trick (if I remember it correctly) might dodge the report error.  That being said, you might want to make a backup copy of the save folder before trying it - it's also possible it could put your save file in a bad state....
