To clarify

The latest patch introduced a safeguard against oversize texture names. Before this patch, and in the original WR2, the game didn't check for that and long texture names corrupted memory at will. The mod we investigated had texture names up to 68 characters , which is over twice the original game's limit (32 characters) and 1.5x CE's bumped up limit (48 characters).

For this patch, we've made two changes

  1. The length limit was bumped to 96 characters.

  2. Textures with too long names (please don't!) now will have their names cut off, and will refuse to load instead of crashing.
