Crash Apr 16, 1873

[swilhelm73]

My game keeps crashing on Apr 16, 1873.

v1.03b - no mods

Playing as Peru at war with Japan. I've annexed Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay.

Any events I should be worried about on this date?

From the history.txt;

1873-03-00 : April 1, 1873 : The corruption in Taiwan has been purged.

1873-03-01 : April 2, 1873 : We liberated the province of Nagaoka from Japan

1873-03-02 : April 3, 1873 : We liberated the province of Niigata from Japan

1873-03-05 : April 6, 1873 : We liberated the province of Urawa from Japan

1873-03-14 : April 15, 1873 : The ingrates of Kanagawa are taking up arms against us!

1873-03-15 : April 16, 1873 : The ingrates of Urawa are taking up arms against us!

Swilhelm,

i can only sympathise..
i don't think there is a way to unscramble a corrupt save..
perhaps you have a save from a year or two earlier?

(I had this problem with a previous game & re-running those few years seems to make things wotk better)

Hmm

I think I may have discovered the cause...maybe...

Japan gets an event at the time that makes it DOW Korea. Well...you can't DOW Korea while at war with someone else (me).

After crashing several times...it finally made it through that point and I noticed that AI Japan had chosen not to go to war with Korea.

Could this be it?

 

[OriginalRafiki]

Possible. Have you tried editing the event so that it requires Japan to not already be at war?

EDIT: Took a look at the events, but since the Japanese-Korean war comes at the end of a not-too-short event chain, modding this might not be entirely straight-forward.

In any case, it sounds like something for the bug forum.

I'm not sure that this is even possible though...hmm...maybe if no one has any more input I'll file it there...but it isn't like the bug forum is really hopping any more either...

Oh, on the plus side, crashing so many times really helped refine my battle tactics for this war. Nothing like encircling and destroying every enemy division.

I think it could be possible. I mean, most of these events have an exception for being already in a pece treaty (Opium Wars, anyone?), so I always assumed it was so that the AI never broke a peace treaty like they used to. Maybe the fact that Japan is forced to DOW another country while already at war will just cause a crash, becuase it isn't supposed to be able to happen.
