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!

Going to post a work around again since people keep complaining about the saved games:

1) From the start up screen where you can select a saved file or scenario choose your file that is CTD'ing upon loading.

2) Select OPTIONS

3) Change AUTOSAVE to NEVER

4) ACCEPT changes

5) START game

The speed doesn't matter, I've done this with below normal up to fast speeds.

It doesn't work.

As you pope i command you to make a crusade agaist this infidel bug!

Lets share the last paragraph of info that the fiendish save file has. Here is mine:

combat = {
id = { type = 4712 id = 146172 }
province = 93
date = { year = 1114 month = march day = 8 }
phase = maneuver
phase_counter = 3
attacker_losses = { }
defender_losses = { }
attackers = { { type = 4712 id = 131345 } }
defenders = { { type = 4712 id = 110521 } }
}

I find odd that in that battle i have no attacked nor

Update: i added:

attacker_losses = {
light_cav = 92.000
archers = 133.000
heavy_inf = 234.000
pikemen = 87.000
militia = 333.000
}
defender_losses = {
heavy_cav = 75.000
light_cav = 210.000
archers = 266.000
heavy_inf = 440.000
pikemen = 237.000
militia = 356.000
}

And didnt work.

I have a different problem involving saved games. Mine is crashing when I save. It gets most of the way through the saved game, then CTDs. It's happened 4 times now (twice after rebooting). Game was saved at Normal speed; I do not have autosave on. I always pause before saving. The save game made during the crash seems to be always about the same size (13,530KB in Windows Explorer).

Anyone else have CTD while saving??

------------
EDIT: Reloading from a couple saves back SEEMS to be working now. Not sure what caused such a consistent crash when trying to save. I kept the saved game in case anyone wants to see it.

Only edit I made (way back in first few years of the game) was to change the province culture of Gwent to Welsh. While it's true the Marcher Lords were overlords during much of this time and the Anglicization began during this time period, I thought that in 1066 it probably hadn't gotten too far yet ...

------------
EDIT #2: Back to the same problem again - crashes when trying to save, even on files saved after the seeming "fix" mentioned above.

I too do this but to no avail. I still get reliable CTDs

Anyone have an FTP site, or does MR T have one that I may be able to download a file or two that people have sent in? I only have a Hotmail account so I can't accept the large save files via email. If not It may take me some time to locate a spot to set up an FTP to get the files.

It does not work on my saves, too. I think the problem is hidden elsewhere...but I'm too asking myself: If the problem is still known...when does some kind of bugfix appear?? I'm sorry for this and I'm not into insulting someone, but it is really frustrating to own this game for about 3 weeks and not being able to play!

I´ve played King of Sweden for two generations and now none of my saved games will load (Crash when loading script). One thing I saw when browsing around the Paradox folder was that the history.txt file was completly empty! Prior, im 95% sure, it was filled with a lot of events that had happend during my time in power. I don´t know if this is the reason for the loading crash but it might be the case. Has anyone else experienced this?

This is normal. For some reason, Paradox is having it delete after you quit the game. If you use that tool posted two or three pages back, itll archive it along with your saves if you ever wanted it for some reason (AAR, or summin...).

Auto save most poeple turn that off I gather I curtinely never have it on

I have it every three months myself, every month orginally but the game takes about 10% longer with that... I sure thats not causing any issues for me, though. Never did in the other games, either.

If you keep trying (at least in my experience), it appears you can get a game that'll keep going (so far, at least). Of course, this is still extremely annoying as you shouldn't have to play 60+ years to find out whether you're going to be allowed to continue longer.

My saved file is about 13,800 kb, this is odd. Perhaps CK cant initialize such a large file? I have had a save CTD, but it corrupted the file and made it unplayable.

PS: can you hear me, Major Tom?

I had repeated crashes with a pretty early beta, which vanished after I chose not to have autosaves at all. I don't know if that affects this situation, though.

Ha ha ... I didn't realize that is what I am now ...

Mine is crashing during save, not during load. No one else having that problem??

 

[Brownbeard]

had the crash during save this morning, size:13.3mb, happens everytime

 

[Brownbeard]

I'm playing CK for a while and i have this CTD Problem to. Everytime i save, autosave is off, speed set to low or paused, the game crashes. Currently i have a savegame of Leon in the Year 1114, March 1.
I can start the game, play a couple of month. When i save it, CTD...
I opened the savegame and these are the last entries of all my CTD-Saves:

title = {
tag = TABR
tier = duchy
liege = ----
holder = { character = { type = 4712 id = 28459 } startdate = { year = 1096 month = august day = 23 } }
claim = { id = { type = 4712 id = 97663 } character = { type = 4712 id = 74350 } }
claim = { id = { type = 4712 id = 97664 } character = { type = 4712 id = 78041 } }
claim = { id = { type = 4712 id = 97665 } character = { type = 4712 id = 86821 } }
}

title = {
tag = TEME
tier = duchy
liege = HUNG
holder = { character = { type = 10 id = 472 } startdate = { year = 1066 month = january day = 0 } }
}

does the duchy of toscany exist?

the same happened to me today. i loaded in winword a previous working save(6 months before), then deleted entries of all destroyed duchies and kingdoms(those that hava an enddate for a holder) saved the file. restored it normally in ck played a few months, saved it, returned to main menu and restored the new save game

FIRST TIME I FIXED MY OWN CORRUPT SAVE GAME! HOORAY!

before the i fixed the save: the game would always CtD in a few months, it would always CtD if i tried to save it, it would make a corrupt savegame ending with the info for the duchy of temesvar(tag=TEME)

You mean it CTDs while saving? hmm...Yesterday I started a new game (it's the fifth game I started because all other games became unplayable ) and had a crash during save as well. But it didn't CTD but hang up. Something new for the gallery...

Tried that and got nowhere, unfortunately.

Johan told a moment ago that they are trying to come up with a 1.02, or at least a smaller bugfix pack, soonish, preferably this weekend.

Whoopee!

I really hope this is true. My second game just fucked up yesterday.

It could really be cool to be able to play a little longer than 1111
