Additional context
Whenever attempting to generate patches for Halo 3, I encounter the same "System.OverflowException: Array Dimensions..." error at the same locations with every .map file. Each .map in Halo 3 has been re-installed and new patches attempted with various modified maps, but to the same error. When creating patches for Halo: Reach and Halo 3: ODST, I do not encounter this error.
