Anybody else had problems with sudden crashing? I've been playing a lot since release and never had any crashes at all, now suddenly today it crashes EVERY time I try to resign to the main menu, and it's even crashed a few times while simply running the clock and waiting for improvements to build. Was there some kind of hotfix or something released today?
 
Not to the game, no, 1.03b is still the current patch. Is your checksum correct?
 
I'll second exactly this. Game has been perfectly stable thus far, the patch has the correct checksum, and I've been able to absorb Scotland, England, and Wales into Ireland and acquire the HRE with no stability issues.

All of a sudden today every attempt to resign to the main menu gets me a CTD. No idea what could be causing it, just that it now happens every time.

I did some investigation by starting a new game and running it for a few seconds, then attempting to resign. It worked.

So there is just this current game that I started pre-patch that is near the end of the timeline that is a problem.

Maderas, did you start your current game pre-patch?
 
I didn't, no, and I can confirm what you said - the game works fine on a new game made post-patch. I noticed this yesterday and assumed it was linked to how many more kingdoms the AI has to account for in my (late era) game, but your theory makes more sense.
