ZLib decompress failed for large map pack (V maps.ufo, )

Opened this issue · 2 comments

I added the ~2GB "V maps.ufo" (from V maps 26.5.2020.zip, ) to the RWE resources. When I try to select a map, I get a popup dialog, "Critical Error" : "ZLib decompress failed.", and the game exits from there.

oof, that is unfortunate. I guess I'm on the side of "don't fix this" then?
The 2 arguments:
a) original game doesn't care, so we shouldn't either
b) the issue only happened due to a third party tool, in an old version. Allowing these technically broken archives enables perpetuating the use of broken versions.
b sounds nice from a "let's make the world a better place" perspective, and it has the added benefit of not requiring any change :P
