We played 7th game in our mp campaign yesterday, and suddenly host got game crashed. Different players made a game save, but game just crashes even when you try to pick save file. Skanderberg tool analyze this save file as usual. I also opened this file through notepad.

I can only assume that save file is either corrupted or bugged, I'm sorry to say.
Does it also crash if you load it in solo mode?
Any mods involved?
Can you play a different campaign okay?

- Yes, it crash in solo mode too. You just click on this save and boom, game crashes.
- I have no mods, some guys used Ukrainian localization mod (doesn’t change checksum). But as I said, it was 7th game in that campaign.
- Yes, we can start another campaign without crashing.
I just want to know the reason of such savefile corruption, to prevent it from happening in future.
Thanks for your response.
There are many possible reasons for computer file corruption. Among the most likely are a game bug, a Windows or hardware problem, an antivirus app getting in the way, or malware.
Your best protection is to have more backups; just before or after each play session make a manual copy of the save file, just in case. That in combination with autosaves ought to mean you don't lose much progress.
IF however you start from a previous save that works okay, then this happens again, it is likely a game bug.
