Application Error on 1624-12 to 1625 changeover

[Keith9]

Hello,

Just got the retail version shipped and have been playing. I'm enjoying the game, but I am having some problems with it crashing on 1624-12 -> 1625-01 changeover. I had an autosave on 1624-12 and I tried setting all 6 fleets to stop and the crash still happens.

Would it help any patches if I sent the autosave over for a repro? I forgot to save for 12 game years so I guess I'd wait for the patch (and try out HoI3 first maybe )

Thanks,
Keith

I had to restart the game once in 12/1605 already because of this bug. And it just happened to me again in the new game at the end of 1608. Restarting a 3rd time would probably fix this again but this is getting annoying without any way to know if my save wont be corrupted a few hours later.
Note: I have changed the special value of the trading house to 20 and 35 for the 3rd and 4th level in the file building.txt but this is the only change made to my game.

Here is a zipped file with my building.txt file and the bugged saved game of 12/1608. (have to click on regular download after the 50 sec counter to download the file) The game will crash as soon as the next year comes.

And here is the log file after the crash.

I usually use different save game slots as I progress in campaign (in every game I play) to avoid from having to start all over again if the savegame gets corrupted or something else happens. Luckily I haven't had any with EIC though.

I had some issue with Japanese unicode with the game before so I was curious and decided to switch to English (united state) unicode
And I have found that the save that i linked a few posts earlier actually works when I switch to English unicode but when I switch back to japanese unicode it crashes again when going to next year.
So it seems that the patch didn't fix all issue with non english language.

This will be fixed in the next patch.
