As Japan 1942 (36´campaign), 1.06 beta 2
I DoW the Allied and get a following critical error soon (not instantly):

--- strlen ("A Not-yet described Event Command") < strlen(str) + 1 ---

It takes place when I amphib, I believe. edit: it seems to take place the 2nd day of the war no matter what.

I play quite rarely so I'm happy to apply some sort of quick fix to event files myself to keep this one campaign going if I knew which one?

edit: also takes place at 1.06 beta 3. I tried to remove Pearl Harbor and Siam events, no success there so I'm clueless now.

Please compress your savegame with Winzip/Winrar/7-zip and upload it somewhere. Some people might be interested to look at it.
What you could try is to DOW the allies, save under a different name, exit and reload as one of the majors. Try to replicate the crash - maybe it's one of their (AI) events going wrong.
 
Try to get a savegame as close as possible to a repeatable crash. You can use mediafire.com to upload zip or rar files easily and without creating an account. ( Don't be shy,use maximum compression on the archives )

Of course, try to give as many details as possible in recreating the crash.
 
Aha.

We're experiencing some difficulties with the code merging, so you'll have to bear with us a bit.

Quick fix for the crash :

In each event in db/events/ai_jap.txt include in the "triggers={ ... }" the line "ai=yes"

like this :

"trigger = {
ai = yes
<existing stuff>
}
