Computer freeze/crash upon selecting broken save-game

[FrEDa]

Hi.

I would like to request that the coders take a look at the load scenario/savegame procedures and improve upon it so that a broken or not-wellformed savegame does not cause a computer freeze, which in many instances demands a hard-reboot, upon selection in the list. This crash/freeze occurs upon selecting the broken file, i.e. when refreshing the playable nation/duchy etc.

A very simple, not adequate though, improvement would be to check both the start and end of the save-file since the structure of a good file is known. Several layers of checks are probably needed.

Kind regards,
Fredrik

How about making saved games to to break instead

....which is what has been worked upon in the beta patches.

No no, I demand a random save-game bug. Otherwise I wouldn't get the chance to start a new game all the time

But on a serious side, it's not very professional to have a lockup/deadlock/crash for an extremely controlled and known environment such as a save-game file.

Yeah, but neither is having broken save-game files and as Johan has limited time I´d rather see him work on the underlying core problems instead of
"makeshift" fixes to go round them. I do hope they include that to their upcoming titles.

Agreed, but a simple "Check first 30 lines, check last 30 lines" would sort out alot of the crashed save-games.
