FIXED IN 1.03: Split from CTD thread: 1.02 CTD

[leefbern]

BUG: Save CTDs...(several threads merged)

edit: Sorry, I didn't see the request to start a new thread with this report until too late.

I had my first CTD in 1.2 during an autosave. The autosave file only contained the following:

name = "Hastings (1066)"

My speed was normal, I had just raised an army and declared war.

• Processor: Athlon 1.4 Ghz
• Memory: 512Meg
• Video: ATI Radeon 9500 Pro
• OS: Windows 98

I've split this one off from the other thread since it's a new CTD report and relates to 1.02.

Could you confirm that the game was played entirely under 1.02 and isn't a 1.01 save game loaded into 1.02?

If yes...

Do you have a save that's close to this date that will load? (possibly the old autosave)?

Do you still have the history log or has that been overwritten?

How much available hard drive space do you have? Have you defragmented it recently?

Yes, it was a new game started after I upgraded to 1.02.

Do you have a save that's close to this date that will load? (possibly the old autosave)?

Yes. I saved shortly before the crash, perhaps 1-3 game months. I have sent you a PM with a link to the file.

Do you still have the history log or has that been overwritten?

I'm afraid not; it was overwritten. I've sent the new one from a game continued from an earlier save, though I don't know if it will help.

How much available hard drive space do you have? Have you defragmented it recently?

20.4 GB of available space, not recently defragmented.

Save attached for bug mods/Johan.

couldn't get the game to crash with the latest beta.

I've got my first save ctd(normal save) and afterwards the save game contains also only this line "name = "Hastings (1066) " .
It's a bit annoying, because i never had any save ctd's with 1.01.
It was a new started game with 1.02!
Now i'm feeling a bit like that(because i haven't enabled auto save) ->

I have about 800Mb free(on drive where CK is installed) and not recently defragmented.

• AthlonXP 2000+
• 512MB DDR-Ram
• GeForce MX2
• WindowsXP Pro

I also had a save-CTD today..out of sufficient memory the Microsoft Word (??) program tells me...There is a savefile though, but when trying to load it CK tells me that it is database mismatch error...

 

[leefbern]

I have uploaded a second CTD save game here. The crash is reliable--I have reproduced it five times.

 

[kurtbrian]

confirmed the crash and sent the save to Johan

 

[Brownbeard]

a random crash tends to happen to me in 1.02

i click on my character info screen, and when i click on a link for a vassal screen, the game sometimes crashes.

it has nothing to do with the save game, it happens in no apparent order, but if i do it a dozen or two times in a row, there's a very good chance it will crash.(a late game with 150+ vassals)

it happens mostly while i'm giving away excess ducal titles, but i don't feel there's a connection because the game is paused.

Please,

before reporting a CTD:

1 - have a save game which is crashing first
2 - verify if the same sort of CTD has not already been reported in the bug list or in the forum
3 - and if not, create a new thread detailing the conditions of the CTD

Do not highjack any CTD thread already existing, because your problem could be different.

I am closing this thread, and marked it as FIXED as kurtbrian sent the save to Johan.

Thanks.
