Yes, 400 explosive barrels and too many objects can definately crash a map. Reduce the number of barrels to around ten to 30 and delete any objects that you find unnecessary. Post an error log while you are at it.

[quote="The FAQ / Everything You Need Thread"]Question - I have the CD version of SWBF2 and I get a binkw32.dll error when trying to launch the BF2_modtools.exe, what's wrong?
Answer - Copy the BF2_modtools.exe from the main BF2_modtools folder and paste it in the same folder as your battlefront2.exe, usually:
\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData
then you can launch BF2_modtools.exe and play your map to get a BFront2.log located in that same folder.
If you have the DVD version check THIS LINK for a DVD version of BF2_modtools.exe

Note to Vista users:
If you can't find your BFront2.log it may be saved to this location:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData[/quote]

Actually, you should probably get an error log before jumping to any conclusions. 400 objects won't crash the game.
