What is different about the La Spezia Bunker?
Are the Buoys closer to the La Spezia Bunker?
Is there a Ship nearby that has running light illuminated?

Those are really good and logical questions but after several years of hunt for infamous campaign/museum MSVCR90.dll CTD I'm pretty much sure that the cause certainly doesn't hide in simple UPC file error...

As for .UPC file errors I do know that TWOS 1.05 has many errors. Example Below: data\UPCDataGE\UPCUnitsData\UpgradePacks.upc

[UpgradePack 2]

UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions1=NULL, 1942-06-01, 2000; There are 2 UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions1 settings and what's the Highlander saying?
UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions1=1942-02-01, 1942-06-01, 2000; There can only be one 1 option
UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions2=1942-06-01, 1942-08-01, 1000
UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions3=1942-08-01, 1942-10-01, 900
UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions4=1942-10-01, 1943-02-01, 800
UnitUpgradePackIntervalOptions5=1943-02-01, NULL, 300
IDLinkUpgradePackElements= EqpFumo29RadarApp, NULL, EqpFuMO29
TrackingID=601

In EUF v1.4 one of these lines were commented for testing so ALL upgrades were available at game start.
When uncommenting one line the other needs to be commented or removed.
This error is repeated on almost all of the Upgrade Packs.
Not sure if this is enough to cause a CTD but may contribute to one.

This is goon find and thanks for this one...
Actually, UpgradePacks.upc file from TWoS is taken from mod called "Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1 (available by date) V9 by sober" which is working fine for years and without issues.
I will unquote unnecessary lines in next TWoS update but I doubt that there will be any significant impact on game stability because it seems that the game ignores 2nd upgrade pack interval if they are named the same...

Please let me know if you stumble up on some more UPC/UPCGE inconsistencies...

MANY items around the Harbor area's such as Buoys and some imported ships also have Ray Traced Halo's.

This is interesting... Which imported ships and how can they (halo's) be removed for testing? Does this statement goes the same for some OHII imported planes?
