45) FIXED in 1.02: Save CTDs...(several threads merged)

[Dearmad]

CTD's:

Well got my first CTD with 1.01. Will see if it's a consistent one or not. WIll know soon. I've had consistent CTD's with 1.0 (meaning it owuld always happen at a certain point), but 1.01 seemd to fix that.

I really hate these, they are so without warning!

Is your main character old and has he any successor (you can check on your character screen) in your game which is crashing ?

[Dearmad]

Yeah he has heirs, and no he's not old, and he didn't die.

They're pretty random CTD's, fortunately the autosave game will elt me get past it so far... but it's SCARY to invest so much time into a game and potentially have it end if these CTD's turn into the ones like in 1.00 that ALWAYS crash at the same point...

 

[Arentak]

I have also been experiencing many CTD's, around one per hour. I play on max speed. I'm using DX 9.0, gforce 440 go, p4 1.7, 512mb ram. Running xp sp1(with all patches)

Same here: William the Conqueror is getting old, heir is Robert de Normandie. From time to time the game crashes (without telling me that Bill is dead however, dunno if that's important to know). When I reload all is well. This is my first game and so far I haven't seen how inheritance of my throne looks like.

Save CTDs...

Ok I have been playing a game for more than 50 years, I had a few random CTDs, but now I cants load the autosave:

- the regular autosave Ctds after 15 days of playing,
- the old autosave CTDs while loading...

I tried with another duchy and got the CTD after 2 months instead of 15 days.

the saves

I would really appreciate if you could find the origin of the CTD so that I can continue my game.

thanks

Are you now playing the 1.01 version and the saves are from the 1.00 one?
If yes, it's normal they crash.

-------------------------------------
---- Changes done to 1.01
--------------------------------------
- Character pruning is now in effect (this means all old save games will
probably lead to almost instant CTD

same thing happened to me

it's all 1.01

I have been playing this 1.01 game for 50 years
and my own save and the autosave would both crash during load screen.

fortuately the oldauto worked and I was able to get back to the game.

I am keeping 2 saves now in addition to the autosaves

I always played with 1.01 and it is a 1.01 save which crashes.

From my experience, playing on maximum speed increase the probability of CTD I'm afraid...

I never played on max speed anymore, at best, I play on the speed just before.

I have had the same problem : CTD on autosaving. If I look at the autosave file, there is only one line (scenario = "Hastings 1066" or something like that). It happened each time I reloaded the oldautosave. I finally got around it by loading as England (I was plyaing as France) doing a few things, getting past the autosave date, then back at France. I still have the oldautosave on my disk, if the paradox crew wants a look at it.

I wonder if the fact that I declared war on the duke of Normandy, who then inherited the kingdom of England during the war, has something to do with it.

 

[Dearmad]

Well I never play on max speed- nomal at best. So my original post doesn't apply to that problem.

 

[Veldmaarschalk]

I am also having multiple CTD's

I was playing as Robert the Hauteville, Duke of Apulia. I already was about 30 years ahead in the game when I got my first CTD.

Ok I think, I just reload the autosave. Reload it, I click start game, beng ! A CTD. Ok I try again, again reload the autosave. Nope, again a CTD.

Lets reload the oldautosave, isn't working either. I load it and get a CTD.
Must be something wrong with the savedgame file.

The one strange thing I notice is that, when I reload a the autosave and oldautosave is that I get a message that the Duke of Cornwall is now the one who controls the pope or something. In my original game I hadn't had that message.

 

[Veldmaarschalk]

Robert is old but he has multiple heirs. About 7 sons, 8 grandsons, a brother.

So that can't be it.

CTD on loading savegame

I've played a game for 30 years or so, had one fine succession, played some more, and decided to change my inheritance laws. This made me lose everything, so I surrendered and tried loading the savegame I made prior to the event.

But when I tried loading it, I got a CTD.

In fact, none of my savegames from this game is working properly, they all crash the game when I try to load them. The only weird thing I think happened was when I appointed a dead guy to Archbishop (I dunno how THAT happened, it was just suddenly possible to do), but savegames before and after both crash the game.

I had a good game going. :-(

I have no idea on what's wrong specifically, but I've been able to load savegames before, I'm using 1.01, it's just this game that's corrupted somehow. Can we send corrupt savegames to Paradox somehow?

Basically the same thing just happened to me.Except no dead guys... yet.Oh and when I loaded the old autosave, it all worked fine and dandy.

If you remember the Archbishops name, try and search for him in the savegame file and make him undead would perhaps work?

/F

Having the same problem.

Was playing Brandenburg.

Conquered enough Pagans to claim Kingdom of Lithuania, played for 20 years after that with no problems as King of Lithuania.

Stopped playing CK for a while, and when I started up again, all my Kingdom of Lithuania saves give me a CTD. Three different Kingdom of Lithuania saves, all of them CTD in the same way.

But when I went back to a Duchy of Brandenburg save, it loads fine.

The CTD happens on the loading screen, when it gets to "Initializing script".

I didn't appoint any undead bishops or anything.

reloading problem

i formed the kingdom of ireland and played for a bit then saved and logged to check on things here. i went to log back into my game and it gets the bar all the way over to when loading should be done and then CTD hits. i put good effort into making ireland

Same thing happened with me, I turned Brandenburg into Kingdom of Lithuania, and when I reloaded the game it crashed. All three of my Lithuania save games have this problem. If I go back to my Brandenburg save game it loads fine. It played fine after I turned into Lithuania, until I reloaded. 1.01

It crashes on the load screen, at Initializing Script.
