I’m currently trying to open every bin one by one to see which ones work and which ones don’t.
Will post the results when I finish.

You can add your vote to this, but given the age and locked status of this report, I don’t see anything happening :/

ye i saw it a while ago,
Finished my list of usable bins.
Is there somewhere I could put this information more generally? Like in the Wiki?

its good, well as i see the only maps i wanted to use are just broken. hangar all variants
I am not sure this list is accurate, I was trying to create a map in Mission Editor on arcade_norway_fjords (Mission by URL) and I couldn’t do half of what I wanted without my program crashing… I ended up uninstalling the CDK because it was infuriating…
If anyone knows how to get a CDK going and actually be able to place objects, would be greatly appreciated. I’m a modder at heart and it’s killing me getting this CDK to work.
If it matters I run Win 11 64-bit 23H2
I saw that Operation Dunebreaker was updated recently so I know some guys have the CDK working for them. I would love to know how
It seems that a lot of CDK users are doing things the hard way by editing the .blks directly and skipping the CDK - When does it crash? I can update my list or you can make a PR with any notes
For real they need to update it so bad. Dagor Engine on Github was last updated 3 months ago and is way more stable than whatever mess the CDK version is. It’s not even possible to use dagor engine from git to open the CDK environment because it crashes saying the shader version is too old or unsupported.
Before you load up your binary dump press F11 or go to View > Plugins Visibility and untick ‘(filter) Show entity visual geom’.
This will disable buildings and trees and the CDK won’t crash. The crashes are caused because some “stuff” ware updated and the CDK can’t handle them, but if it doesn’t render them it works just fine.
Do not click on “Show unit assets”, some units and objects have also been affected, mainly “objectGroups”. This will make it tedious to set up objects because you can’t see them and it will be trial and error to get them where you want, but at least the CDK won’t crash.
Brempel has made a list of objects that crash the CDK at the moment - Brempel objectGroups testing results - Google Spreadsheets
It is safe to click on “Show unit assets” only if you’re sure that the objects you have on the map are not affected.
This will have to do for now untill Gaijin updates the CDK.

For the avg Normandy map it seems to only crash when you are within 8km of the ground battle area. For Denmark it seems to be the same range but only at the harbor areas and the north island. On the Bulge map it crashes when are you’re within 7.5km from any type of city. Basically you need to be 7.5km over the map and steer clear of cities. Sticking to small villages or forests. Its pretty dire.
