NOT A BUG: Reproducible crash with 1.03a

[_T_]

Reproducible crash with 1.03a

Playing as the Duchy of Catalonia the game went fine until the 1090s, after which it started crashing. It seems that somewhere along the line I lost one vassal without any notice, so it's possible that there is a connection. I managed to play until 1101 by saving and loading a lot, but now I have a reproducible crash in March 1101. The save game can be found here

I'm running
Win XP on a AMD XP 2000+
1 Gig RAM
GF 4400 driver ver 56.56
DirectX 9.0b

I think we may have tracked down the source of this. We are now working on a fix.

Try the following:

EDIT: fixed this post to correct syntax

Search your save game for "dyn = 0 " and replace any instances you find with "dyn = 708 ". That will very likely solve your problem and allow you to continue. No promises, though, since we're not positive that this is the only cause.

and in a savegame, you should search for "dyn = 0" and replace it by "dyn = 708"

Woops...you're right of course. I forgot the abbrev.

Open it in notepad, correct?
and whereabouts in the file is this dynasty 0 at? this is a rather large file to be skimming through.

Use find and replace - notepad on XP has this, but I'm not sure if earliers versions do but have at least the 'find' function on the edit menu.

I was getting CTDs too with 1.03 and still with 1.03a playing as Bavaria. They kept happening same time in 1091. I turned off autosave (which I'd set for every 3 years) and lo I have now progressed to 1130'something without a single CTD since.
