Database mismatch error when loading save games

[Palfouri]

I've started getting this error when trying to load my Brazil save games. I'm able to ignore the error and the game seems to load fine, but it's annoying having to open task manager every time it happens.

Is there anything that could be causing it? I haven't experienced this problem before, including after I installed the beta patch.

What is the exact error about? Alternatively you can post the save-game file here.

The exact error is

-- Database Mismatch (type=4712 / id 467884) already used!--

Do you still wish to continue?

And here's the save:

I am getting similar errors with a US saved game (and also autosave):
type = 4712 / id = 380801
type = 4712 / id = 382567

I believe this also occurred when one of the 1.01 betas was released.

I recently got an error on a savegame reload with duplicate units: 4712 495110 and 4712 494748. I edited the savegame numbers and it was OK after that.

It appears to me that these were UK airborne divisions. Is there an event that places these units in the game? If so, you need to give those units a larger number because that lower number for the unit has already been taken by a produced unit.

No, these units are not given by events.

No, these units are not given by events.

It was just a thought. With Fernando's WIF mod from 3 years ago, I saw this happen often and it seemed to trace to units entering the game by event.

It is strange that 4712 are almost if not always the ones. I believed that they are British units. They were listed under the UK's forces in the savegame as best I could tell. Yet, when I go into the scenario file I see UK's forces are 12700. Who is 4712? I took a quick look and can't tell.

I am certain that I recalled the number 4712 from a few years ago and took a look. In the old HOI2 Arma game units built in the Japanese production que were given the 4712 number. I'm not sure where this is leading?

 

[MartinBG]

ID's have two parts:
1. Type (for example 4712)
2. ID (for example 495110)

Both parts of 2 or more IDs should be identical in order to have an ID conflict.

In your example above you should search your save game for 495110 and 494748 numbers.
