Red Alert 2 Has Encountered An Internal Error Apr 2026

The mission script creates 12 enemy units via Reinforcements trigger at the moment of beacon destruction. The map’s unit pool already contains 492 units (mostly civilian vehicles). Adding 12 exceeds MAX_UNITS = 500 . The 13th unit’s constructor writes past UnitClass::vtable , corrupting the next object in memory – which happens to be the mission victory trigger pointer.
