I've tried several things to try and get my save file to convert successfully but each time it's gone black and crashes .
I've tried several things to try and alleviate it . Some have worked some have not .
I compared the manpower level (top left of the screen manpower) of my save file country and another save file that DID convert . I changed the manpower to that of the properly converted one but it still gave me a crash . I went ahead and arbitrarily freed a bunch of sattelites and the test game DID convert . However , at this time i'm unsure if it's determined by the number of countries in the game , WHICH countries in the game need to be freed (for example , a represenative of each HOI2 faction ? [allied , comintern , axis ]) or the various attributes subtracted from my country by the freed countries (population , province manpower , individual provinces , etc ?)
I've been trying to systematically test the easiest of these variables , which would be the number of countries present . So far I've gone up to freeing 23 countries and so far each time it's still a crash . My method will be to keep going until i reach the level where conversion occurs , record how many countries it requires to convert , and then begin different tests to check if it's the number of countries or the individual countries themselves , etc that decided it . For example i will test if it's somehow related to the size of the country by (once reaching the critical mass) i switch out france for lucca to be freed as a sattelite and see if the decrease in overall land mass determintes a critical boundary and so on . I really want to find a solution to what's going on here but I'm not a coder nor am i too talented with programs but hopefully these observations will help a little for anyone out there who can help me bring my 800 year long campaign to an eventful conclusion .
p.s. i'm using the latest patches for both victoria before i updated and then the latest revolutions patch that (tried) to help the conversion
update: So I kept releasing sattelites until I got to 29 nations present in the world (including me) and it converted . However , when I attempted to load the game it said : "(Out of Range Manpower)" etc etc . I retyped the manpower manually in the save file and played the game normally .
However , to double check that it was a numerical evaluation , I went back and released 29 different nations and it CRASHED . Apparently it has something to do with the specific areas which i'm divesting . I tried releasing only those countries which would convert to the allied axis and comintern countries but it still crashed . So I believe it has something to do with the specific information within those particular areas of which , when in connection to the main country , would create a number too high to convert or something like that . Please help !
