Annex bug in MP not fixed

[noddysseus]

Just played a MP game tonight using 1.4.
I must say all nine of us are quite dissapointed. Twice we had CTD's due to two seperate annexations.

It seems we are going to have to adopt Strategists' annex-bug mp fix again! Perhaps it can be adopted for the next hotfix?

Yes, it was really annoying. As noddy said, two separate annexations of Italian minors, two crashes. Not everyone of us crashed, but that's what it was like in 1.03c too.

Yes this annex bug was supposed to be fixed???

Can we, just for the record, please remind me what the annex bug is?

As I figure out of complains: it can only mean that annexing some nations makes the game crashing

Annexing a nation which has alliances, crashes the game. Also unification of Italy does the same thing.

Thanks, I'll see what I can be done about this.

Would you like a link to Strategist's fix for the annexing the nations who have alliances problem?

Not at the moment, when the day comes that Paradox announces that there is no more support for Victoria I will be happy to promote unofficial fixes. Till that day comes I will continue to lobby for official fixes via patches.

Would very much appreicate if someone would PM me so I can arrange to get the savegame from that game which is crashing, preferably a savegame from before one of the annexations that caused the crash.

And are any other MP games using 1.4 and having similar experiences? If so, please report in so we can get a better picture of the situation beyond one MP game.

Myself and Jaeger74 are running two seperate 1.4 multiplayer games.

I can gladly give you a save file. I will pm you in the next 30 mins!

Ah ok so it is in 2 separate games.

Jaeger74 if you have any savegames from just before one of these annexation crashes, please PM me so we can arrange for me to get a copy of it.

In our game only crash happened when Italy formed. That probably means that nobody annexed a country who had alliances. Unfortunately I don't have a save before that, but I could ask if our host maybe has that still on his hard disk.

But you can easily reproduce these crashes even without save files. Just remember that it only happens in multiplayer games. If you load a save in sp, it works fine.
