I will look into this and get back to you.
Until then, is there any more information you can give us to narrow this down?
Are you using a clean SWS1.0 install? Does this happen with any other mods? etc

I just tested using the latest version of SpringSP, and was unable to replicate the issue using SWS1.0. Using our new dev build did not cause any issues either.
Are you still experiencing the problem?

Well, i had another mod, the mech one. i cant remember what it was called, i just know it wasn't the Gundam one. it does the same thing. and yes i used the 1.0 installer

Battletech? Gear Commander?

Is it set to com ends and both sides are on the same team?

Would you mind posting the contents of script.txt right after starting a game where the coms explode? That would show us more info such as how the teams were setup. The script.txt file is in the same directory as spring.exe

It's a bug in AAI. Take it up with Submarine.

AAI doesn't like metal maps very much. It can play on some of them, but will crash on others.
So, don't play SWS on a metal map (esp. Speedmetal)! Try for ex. Comet Catcher, AAI plays SWS just fine on that map.

I don't get to play much, so i use max resources to get into battles quicker.

I play on the SPTest thing it gives you, and it plays just fine, its just the other SP mode.

Yeah, SWS wasn't really designed for metal maps either. I doubt it would play particularly well. It tends to choke up into a stalemate even on the larger non-metal spring maps.

On the Test thing it works fine with any map, including Speedmetal and Speedmetalduo.
