Game crashes occasionally on autosaves

[Jerbatronius]

Hello,

Since the Holy Fury release my game occasionally freezes on autosaves, it seems to have gotten worse since 3.0.1 but this could be just random. The problem persists without mods enabled and I've tried to reinstall the game. Are people having the same issue? It may be worth noting I'm playing on a mac.

Not a known issue on Macs, no. 32bit Windows does have this problem.

Any such issue with HOI4 or EU4?

I don't know about HOI4 but EU4 sure isn't having this issue, played that quite a lot the past week.

When it freezes, what next? Can you kill it with Task manager, or need to reboot?

Can you start the game right up again okay after a freeze?

Can you test with the open beta and see if it still happens with that?

I can't really do anything, I have to wait like ±30 seconds before it gives me the 'crusader kings has stopped working...' message. I however can start the game right back up again. Something I note is that the last autosave is always 'oldautosave' when this happens, it seems it crashes on creating the new save right after it sorted the old saves or something.

Also, it might be worth noting I was quite low on discspace (like 5 gb left), which I fixed now. I don't know if that could have something to do with anything.

I could try your advice with the open beta, I will let you know if it happens. The only problem is, sometimes it only happens like once in an hour, yesterday I've played for hours and it only happened twice.

Anyways I'll keep you posted. thanks in advance!

I've played like 45 minutes - 1 hour in the open beta this evening and no crashes so far. Its relatively short to confirm the problem isn't occurring though. Even though when I played the normal version again it happened within 15 minutes. I'll play a bit longer in the beta tomorrow so I can minimise randomness. I'll let you know!

I can confirm it also happens while playing the open beta.

But less, are you saying?
