I'm in the middle of a game as Byzantium. Everything have gone okay until today, when I reached 1115/1116. I wanted to save the game, and promptly got a CTD. I started again with the autosave. Some months later, I decided to save again. CTD. Okay, everybody can be unlucky, but just to not loose more playing time, I just play the game, and don't bother to save once again, but just start with the autosave. Play along, comes to 10th month after last autosave, autosaving...CTD! :wacko: Is there anything I can do? I had a good game, and would really like to play some more in that campaign... :eek:o
 
Just so I have this straight, if you try to save a game manually, the game will CTD?

If you start a brand new game and try to save after a month do es it crash or is it just in that game you were playing?
 
It happens when I autosave and when I save manually, but only in that campaign.
 
But you said you were able to load the autosave so the autosave must have worked at some point.
And do you mean that scenario or that particular game of that scenario?
 
Sorry, I meant the autosave I had before I run the game to the point where it autosaved again.:) First I tried to manually save a couple of times, then, when it didn't work, I let the game run untill the autosave came. And I'm talking about that particulary game.:)
 
So it sounds like the game is getting corupted and some point during that period and then when saving crashes because of the coruption trying to write itself to file.

Can you narrow down the date to anything more specific?
 
My last save is from 30th June 1115. Whenever I try to save after that, or if I wait untill the autosave function comes by 10 months later, I get a CTD. 10 months is the longest I've tried btw.
 
Weird... I tried again today, after being playing Aragorn the rest of yesterday, and now I get no problems...yet at least?:confused: Maybe playing another campaign was all that I had to do...:p But honestly, can that have helped?:)
 
Strange indeed. IF there was some problem with your HD index it could be it has been resolved, perhaps run a diagnostic on the HD looking for lost allocation units.
 
Right click on drive- properties-tools-error checking.
 
Well, well... Now I have got the same problem again. I tried your tip, but it didn't help. I guess I'll have to try what I "did" last time...
 
Is there an event or some action you do during the time between when it works and when it crashes?
 
Not that I know of. This time it has gone several years since last time btw. Should I reinstall perhaps?:confused:
 
It could not hurt to reinstall, maybe to the default Drive and Directory as well.

Also it could just be something messed up with that particular game, maybe try a new one and see if you have the same problem.
 
Same problem to report...

Playing as King of Wales, all my save games are now corrupted after CTDs. The .eug files are created but the corresponding .cfg files aren't updated. Looks like my campaign is now down the toilet pan of history...
 
Reinstall and apply the latest patch start a new game and you should be okay.
