Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Playing a Piast dynasty ironman game without issue from a technical standpoint until now. There is an active crusade in the game and my ironman reload loads me in at July 14 1397. However, whenever the game advances to July 20, 1397 the game immediately crashes and closes to the desktop. I have checked the logs and it appears the crusade finishes as a success that day on 7.20.1397 however in the game I do not receive that notification or prompt, the game crashes before that can happen. I have attempted backing up my files onto an external HDD, uninstalling and reinstalling the game. Now after reinstalling the game the crash still happens.

I am using:
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2013)
2.6 GHz Intel Core i5
memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB

Safari Version 12.1 (14607.1.40.1.4)

Playing via Steam.

Thank you for your help.

Steps to reproduce the issue.
Reload game, continue playing from July 14, 1397 and regardless will crash exactly upon hitting July 20, 1397.

Was this game first started before 3.0 was released?

It looks like the save file was created in August 2018, so it would have been started with version 2.8.3.2.

Saves aren't generally transferable between major versions and 3.0 was a big one.
The problem is likely that one of the vassals on the winning side of the crusade owns a wasteland.
Between now and the version you started in, a province has been changed from being a normal province to being a wasteland and due to this, there is an owner of that wasteland in your save data. Wastelands should never be owned by someone and therefore this causes a crash.

Despite this save game transfer not being supported, I have made a fix for this particular crash for the upcoming patch.
But it's unfortunately quite likely that more issues will appear even if you make it past this crash as the save data is in an odd state due to the transfer.

Thank you so much for your time and detailed reply. I learned a lot from your answer and it truly demonstrates the attention to detail you all have towards this series.

 

[MonzUn]

You did some digging yourself so I felt that an answer on what is actually going on was in place =)
Bug reports are really valuable and when the author does some background work for us it saves us time, so thank you! (Even though I already kind of had the answer for this one, not easy for you to know).

I feel this is my exact same issue, only its a different date. It appears to crash on the exact date of the Crusade being awarded to my character, only in my save file its Jan 27th, 1216.

I attempted a logon as a different character, too, and it still crashes on this exact date.

A snapshot of my computer specs were taken using "Speccy" and uploaded as well.

Monzun, is there a way for me to edit my save file to change a vassal's stats? I'd have to do a search, as my Roman Empire is quite vast, hah.

I don't know if it's possible but if you want to try; the wasteland that was problematic in the save I investigated was Kara-Kum.
There may very well be more problems than this one though and that region might be named differently in your save since the regions have been changed.
Just remember to backup your save in case something goes wrong

Also, if you want to tag someone, you need to put an @ before their name or else they won't get a notification(I have a watch on this thread and therefore I saw it anyway).
