Bug? Process_Globals Array Crash

[Bryanne Vega]

Only happens when I have the following on Process Global and running as release or release(obfuscated), if it's on debug it wont happen.

Sub Process_Globals
   Dim thisVar(1) As String = Array("Var")
End Sub

maininitializeProcessGlobals (java line: 381)

Then don't put the assignment in Process_Globals. You should also not assign an Array of Objects to an Array of Strings. Generally speaking, it's not a great idea to "do stuff" in Process_Globals. Sometimes you can get away with it but it's really just for declaring variables.

An array of objects is not the same as an array of strings.
1. Remember that Array without a type creates an array of objects.

2. Change your code to:

Dim thisVar() As String = Array As String("sdfsdf", "SDfsdf")
