Repeatable 1.03-a CTD

[unmerged(6607)]

I have a save game- started under 1.03a- where, if you press ctrl + to speed the game up when you're already at extremely fast, the game instantly crashes to desktop. 1100 AD, Normandy. Can anyone else out there force this to happen?

Thanks for the tip, looks like it fixed the game for me ..! And now my tip for other people doing this kind of recovery stuff:

Use an editor that supports replace with regular expressions! I used UltraEdit and aborted all the children in less than 15 seconds.
'impregnationdate *^p' and 'childs_father *^p' are your friends in UE

The problem with this approach, is that you remove all pregnant, and not only the ones that makes the game crash. There is a lot of pregnacy that goes well!

Got it, thanks (though not sure why you sent it 5 times... ) ...

I am SO sorry about that! My Outlook + Mcafee were freaking out, I wasn't sure if you even got it.

I'm glad you were able to track down the bug. I went back to a save about 3 years earlier and was able to continue the game.

I guess in this new reality the Antichrist was never conceived.

We think that we might have identified the source of the problem and are currently working on a fix...

Hope you find a solution, because this is quite annoing. I get the same problem some time later. So, now I am saving and deleteing pregnant women all the time. :wacko:

I have suspected a problem with inbreed in Royal families, but this is pushing it... :rofl:

Is there a workaround that is working now? Or, does everybody suffer from this problem?

And, as tried & tested, the parents producing the 'faulty' children just end up making another one .. I ended up wiping the babies for about 5 years in a row before I gave up ..

Well, better to put the game aside and wait for an official fix I guess.

Try the following:

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.

Thanks MrT! That did the trick for me
