Was this a brand new game that you started under 1.06 or a continuation of a game from 1.05?

If the latter, may be something incompatible in the patches...and won't be resolvable.

If the former, did anything else unusaul happen at or around the time of the crash? Is it an autosave or manual save that you're trying to load? Do you have an earlier save you could try? Did you edit the file at all?

If the answer to most of the above is "no", please e-mail the same game to me at the address in my sig. (Compressed files are prefered ). It might take me a few days before I get the opportunity to have a close look at it, but I can at least give it a go.

The mail button in your link shows that I cannot find Program.exe which it is needed to run URL mailto protocol...I've zipped the file if you can pleasse give me an address to send it...it will be there.

I've run find files/folders..I definately do not have this file...sorry

Send it to LibrAARian@rogers.com

I might be able to have a very fast look at it tonight or tomorrow, but I'm afraid that if an easy solution isn't immediately apparent it won't be until Thursday evening that I'll be able to have an in depth look at it for you. Hope that''s okay.

I hope you received my email...my hotmail account kept coming back un deliverable...tried from another account looked more promising...please inform me if you did receive said file..
Thanx for your time Mr.T...

Got it.

Will have a really fast look tonight but Thursday evening is my next real evening when I'll have any time to take an in depth look. I'll keep you posted.

Initial results: save game crashed for me too.

I just want to make sure understand exactly what's going on...am I correct in my understanding that you started a fresh 1.06 GC game as England an then immediately (without unpausing) released Wales as a vassal, saved, and then exited with the intent being to play Wales for a GC? (again, all without unpausing?) I'm not sure what impact that would have, but I just want to make sure I'm correct in understanding what you're doing before I begin digging really deeply into this...

 

[Pwyll]

Sorry but for me to release Wales as a vassal the game has to go forward as this is not a valid choice from the exact start of the game...create vassal is shaded out...I can assure you though that less than a week went by....I saved the game as England, quit then reloaded as Wales...and played for a number of years thed saved and exited.
Come back to play some more the next day and I cant reload the autosaves or the saved game.

Again thankyou for your efforts Mr. T and please ask me if there is any other information that I may provide.

 

[unmerged(6777)]

Okay, thanks. I haven't tried playing Wales before (or releasing it as England) so I wasn't sure exactly what you'd done. I'll spend some time with it tomorrow evening and see what I can uncover.

Hi Pwyll.

Got it! Took a while but I finally figured out what waqs wrong.

Somewhere in there you somehow picked up a whole new set of historical monarchs and one of them has an "illegal" ID number. I'm e-mailing the file back to you (just the main one...the other is fine). Back up the file you sent me (just copy it to your desktop briefly or something) first, just in case. Just drop it into your save game folder and you should be all set.

If for any reason you have trouble with it, open your existing save game file, scroll all the way down to the Wales section (tag = WLS) and then replace:

[color=yellow]        historicalmonarch = { 
            id = { type = 6 id = 116103872 } 
            name = "Rhisiart" 
            category = monarch 
            rank = 100 
            startdate = { year = 1626 month = march day = 1 } 
            deathdate = { year = 1649 month = july day = 19 } 
            ADM = 7 
            DIP = 6 
            MIL = 3 
            } [/color]

...with...

[color=yellow]        historicalmonarch = { 
            id = { type = 6 id = 20005 } 
            name = "Rhisiart" 
            category = monarch 
            rank = 100 
            startdate = { year = 1626 month = march day = 1 } 
            deathdate = { year = 1649 month = july day = 19 } 
            ADM = 7 
            DIP = 6 
            MIL = 3 
            } [/color]

Incidentally, if you got that monarch table from one of the various scenarios being developed in the scenario forum, you should post there as well to let them know there's an error...

 

[Pwyll]

Tankyou very much Mr. T...I look forward to playing again...
Unfortunately when I uninstalled EU2 it may have left non original files in the directory...yet there should have been no pointers left there though to redirect it to an old file...still I'm glad you were able to get it working again and my thanks...

My pleasure.
