CTD in MP AFTER Annexion

[Rogue78]

hi fellow warmongers & tyrants!

ive played a wonderful lan mp game recently but we encountered one serious bug/error:

whenever one of us annexed a country (and what is more satisfying than finally annexing your pesky enemy) the game CTDs a few days/weeks later

this doesnt ALWAYS happen but it happens mostly after an annexion.

and it happened more often after annexing a huge country (like UK or USSR)
then after annexing for example liberia.

i have absolutly no clue what causes this and both computer used a clean hoi 1.05c with no mods or other addons.

thx in advance

edit:
we already tried the avifolder renaming tweak. next we`ll try lowering dekstop color depth to 16bit.

Let's move this to the MP forum and see if others experiance the same thing.
If they do then report this in the bug forum.

Suggest you save the game prior to annexation. When you go back into the game, make certain the player position that is going to be annexed is no longer player run. Have that player run another country or cease participation. When a position is player run and is annexed or puppeted, you are asking for trouble.

this isnt limited to player controlled countrys. it also happens when someone annexed a big ai controlled country.

yes saving was the only way to get around this.
