assertion failure loading savegame

[unmerged(180961)]

Wasn't sure whether to put this in bug reports or in tech support.

• Purchased and installed via Impulse yesterday
• Playing AGCEEP/Grand Campaign/England
• Windows 7
• Dealt with UAC and missing directory issues
• Things have been working fine for several hours
• I have successfully loaded many savegames, but it looks like the last couple manual saves and the last autosave are affected by this problem.

• I am attaching a screenshot of the assertion failure
• I am attaching the savegame in a zip

If there is a manual workaround (e.g., editing the save file) I would like to know about it. It may be possible for me to load an earlier unaffected savegame and reproduce the problem, but hopefully the attachments will make the problem obvious.

Thank you. This is a model report.

The problem is on lines 18719 and 18720 of the saved game. If you open it in Notepad, you will see the following:

		relation = { tag = HEL value = -1.#QO }
		relation = { tag = INC value = -1.#QO }

You can de-corrupt the save by making those relation values valid, like this:

		relation = { tag = HEL value = -1 }
		relation = { tag = INC value = -1 }

This problem is known but occurs so rarely that we haven't been able to track down its cause.

It just happened to me.

relation = { tag = TER value = -1.#QO }

I think it's not only the .#QO part, but the whole line what is wrong. It was on NAP country and just at the end of history there are some entries about NAP

		name = "October 1, 1492: The people of Naples declared independence from Papal States."
		name = "October 1, 1492: Naples declared war upon Papal States."
		name = "October 1, 1492: Siena dishonored a Military Alliance she had with Papal States and Hungary."
		name = "October 1, 1492: Hungary dishonored a Military Alliance she had with Papal States."
		name = "October 1, 1492: Ferdinando I rose to the throne in Naples."
		name = "October 7, 1492: Naples entered a Military Alliance with Austria, Bohemia, Burgundy and Palatinate."
		name = "November 7, 1492: §YAustria had The thunderstone of Ensisheim."

So first, TER is an indonesian country so there was no reason NAP would have a relation with them. I checked and TER have no entry for NAP in the same gamefile. I understand that if country A have relation score with country B, then country B should have relation score with country A.

Second, NAP didn't exist before October 1. To confirm that, i checked the savegame of January 1st 1492. There is no NAP tag anywhere.

So the bug seems to be related with the rebirth of NAP by event.

More like related to declaration of independence by new nations. It does not seem to be an event Naples was owned by the Papal States it seems from the log.

Yes i worded it bad. Naples was eliminated from game, but then rebirth again and got bad relationship.

I also noticed in my savegame NAP have one relation value of -0.000. I could'nt find any other -0.000 relation value for another country.
In the Ibu savegame are lots of -0.000 but all belongs to BAN (Timbucktu) wich is the country with -1.#QO relations
