July 7th crash

[unmerged(4712)]

I'm running North American v.1.02.1 on an Athlon 1.4 ghz with 128 ram, a geforce 2 32megabyte video card, a Sound Blaster 64, and a 40 GB HD (10 GB free) using Windows ME. As Eire, I've conquered all of the British Isles except Anglia. It's 1529, and I'm converting my five protestant provinces. My game is saved on July 5th, and always crashes on the 7th. The crash coincides exactly with the end of the inqusition in Lancashire.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

open your savegame in WordPad and check for the following:
globaldata = {
startdate = { year = 1425 month = april day = 0 }
enddate = { year = 1819 month = december day = 29 }


startdate will be the date at wich you saved. Change the day for 15th and see if it works.

In any case, mail me your game at *deleted*; I want to check it and send it to Johan if it crashes on my computer.

It worked! I can finish off the English now. Thank you. The file has been sent.

I was able to reproduce your problem, but changing the date didn't work for me. I've sent the file to Johan, hopefully he'll fix it in 1.03.

Well my luck just ran out, too. After having appeared to work last night, the problem returned. I reloaded my game, and it always crashes after 2-3 days.

Still, it's reassuring to know that you guys found out that my game was still broken before I did.

it will be fixed in 1.03, Johan corrected it and it now works fine on my computer. However, I do not know when 1.03 will be released and I do not know how to work-around your problem.

It is caused by a retreating army of the AI as Johan said. However, I do not know where that army is retreating...

Your best bet would be to keep this game somewhere until 1.03 comes out and start a new one. Sorry
