Hi! Great game this EU2 but I have a very annoying problem:
Playing GC with Castille, until 1475 everything goes fine (no problem at all, games saves ok, everything ok), but from that date is umpossible to load every saved game after 1475. The problem is not (as others report in this forum) that the saved game starts to load and then CTD, in my case is not even possible to chose the games saved after 1475, in fact when you click over it in the main menu, nobody appears as spanish player (it soould appear my name as it happens with the other games, the only difference is the change in the kingdom's name from Castille to Spain), is like there wasn't any human player in that saved games. I think myself that maybe the event "Found the Spanish Kingdom" is the cause, because is form that moment when the problem appears, is like the computer forgets that the human player who controlled Castille now is the one who plays with Spain, but I'm not sure. ¿May I do something to fix it?. The problem is only with the saved games, because I've played until 1487 with no problems, but impossible to load saved games. In the saved games folder the .eug and .cfg files seem to be ok.

I play with the spanish version, updated to 1.07 with the spanish official patch (since the moment of the installation) on a Pentium II 333 Mhz., 192Mb Ram, voodoo 3000 16 Mb, Directx 8.?? (I don't remenber right now, in any case directx 8, and don't tell me to actualize to directx 9 because I've already tried) Windows XP prof.I've already renamed the avi folder to avi_back. I haven't any other problem so it seems to me really hard to believe that the problem is my computer. ¿any idea or advise? thanks
 
Care to share that solution here!
 
I think I had a similar experience with Muscowy becoming Russia. After the 'Empire of Russia' event the first attempt to load a Russia*.eug from the main meny will cause all the major's shields being lit and selectable. All needed to do then is reselect Russia and play on.
However if the reload is being done from in-game without an intermediate quit the result is a CTD.

This is due to a lack of playerinfo in the savefile header probably caused by the RUS info being pasted over MOS, thus losing the playername.

But what does a newbie know?
Oh, I play 1.05.
 
I have never had that problem with Castile -Spain, though.
 
I can't remeber if I had it crash while loading ingame as spain, but it happens everytime with russia for me.
 
I assume that has been reported in the bug forum?
 
Okay, then not much we can do but wait for a fix.
In the mean time use the workaround mentioned above.
