I get several critical error on some saves when I load them that go along the lines of ERROR : (missing = in statement) Then it names a Cavalry or dragoons division and continues on Line=XXX(says some numbers) File=scenarios/save games/ name of save.

When I click on the unit it mentioned the game crashes to desktop, i can apparently fix this by saving as a new file and loading that, but it changes my division to an infantry division... The crash occurs in all saves I have of that certain game, and recurs.

Could you 'go to' (ctrl + g) the line of the save game file, and copy that on here, please (possibly 20+ of the lines around it too). You can access the save game file with a text editor, and it is located in that directory you gave. Cheers.
 
Made A new save as UK and the similar error occurred again

Thanks for the help!!
 
If it keeps on happeneing then I'm guessing that it is a change in your scenario's folder somewhere (I'm guessing the UK's file?).

I'll PM you an email address to send me the savegame to, actually. Can't find the errors so will need a better look.
 
Is this an unmodified game?
 
I think if you copy and paste the following over the lines which comprise information for the "9th Transport Flotilla" to the ""Blackwatch" The Royal Scottish Regiment" (the full parts), then it should fix it.

I don't have 1.4 so can't really test this, but it looks okay to me:
Code:
        division = { 
            id = { type = 25301 id = 12200 }

I think the problem was a land division getting added into the middle of information on a naval unit?? There was one closed bracket which didn't seem to fit in (it was extra in one place, and missing in another).

Pretty sure the land unit is supposed to be a unit loaded on the transports.
 
It happens even with revolutions.
I'm pretty sure it is sometimes caused by changing names of some units...the crash has occurred only for land units that I changed the name of, and on some transports
 
Did you rename in the scenario file or in-game?
 
Very possible. I've never tried to put quote marks as part of a unit name.
 
Yeah that usually messes things up, and that was what was done??

Anyway... the altercations I made basically put the Australian Garrison back in sydney. Perhaps alter the speech marks around 'Blackwatch', byzantium43.
