Can't load up

[unmerged(27913)]

I was playing as King of Jerusalem and I was in about 1140 AD. Anyway I saved it and then I got out of the game. Later when I tried to reload at the moment it loaded up it crashed. At first I thought it was nothing but then I tried two more times....one again with my save and once with the autosave....it crashed both times. I am guessing it has something to do with the Jerusalem kingdom but I just can't figure out why and how....

I am using the latest patch jun 3rd. No mods.

Hi Im playing napels and my game also crashed. I get to 1194 and it goes down. Is there any way to fix this?

It reproducably crashes in year 1194 or your save from year 1194 refuses to load up?

I can load up my saves. I managed to make a save just a few days from crashing date, and it keeps on crashing on the same very moment each time I load it up. Suggestions?

Hiya,

I managed to wreck my game (Brandenburg turned to Germany) by just normally playing the it. The autosave game file seems to be complete, but it crashes always on load for some reason. The oldautosave file crashes always on load too.

I tried searching for U019 in the save but didn't find it.

In case it is of any use, I put the save up here:

If anyone knows how to fix the save and resurrect the game, I would be extremely grateful.

Sorry for not answering earlier.

Not that much suggestions really, since if it crashes on exact date reproducably during gameplay. Are you running with betas? If yes, you could use debug mode to get a debug log of the crashing save and follow other instructions in the debug thread in Public Beta.

No error message, but simply CTD?

The progress bar advances to approximately three quarters when loading the scenario, then CTD with no error message.

There are various causes for upon-load CTD. Most common afaik being living character in an unexistant court. But checking all characters being in existant courts is huge work, unfortunately.

Do you have saves earlier than oldautosave? Can you remember anything special happening then?

How does one check this? This sounds like something that could be automated.

Nope, I had played something like 20 years since the last manual save, completely happy with the autosaves.

I suppose. You need to compare

"tag = XXXX"

(where XXXX is any tag) values of all characters to existing tags in entries like

country = {
    tag = XXXX

so that no character has tag which doesn't exist as a country. Do you follow?

If you do succeed writing a piece of program or macro that automatically checks all characters like that, I'd love if you could share it.

EDIT: Of course, "tag = XXXX" is also used in titles and countries as well as characters at least.
