Republic DLC crashing on Mac

[robertszachowicz]

Good evening,

macOS High Sierra 10.13.2
8GB RAM 1867 MHz DDR3
Intel Core i5 2,7GHz

Game was running 100% fine until I turned tribal Pomerania into republic. It crashes when I open menus, click popups and so on. I did the steam local file check, didn't work. Also found one fix and tried it, didn't work either.

Spoiler

There seems to be a workaround, I've been in the game for about 1.5 hours without a crash now.

Work around developed:

Files missing from the sound folder (I just copied, pasted, and renamed to random sound files in the folder):
factions_view.wav
republic_view.wav



Error log showing the following problems:
Naval_Battle_Backgrounds.wav
republic_view.wav
factions_view.wav



Change the sound.sfx (library/Application support/steam/Steamapps/common/Crusader Kings II/interface) file to include the following lines (I just added at the end of the file):

republic_view =
{
file = "republic_view.wav"
}

Naval_Battle_Background =
{
file = "Naval_Battle_Background.wav"
}

factions_view =
{
file = "factions_view.wav"
}

The sounds are present in my library but adding the code lines didn't help. The "Naval_Battle_Background.wav" file isnt present in my game files.

factions_view.wav
republic_view.wav

I have these two on my Mac. Seems your installation was corrupted or incomplete, a Steam Verify operation would probably have fixed that.

Naval_Battle_Backgrounds.wav

I have Naval_Battle_Background.wav , so that's probably a typo somewhere.

I've just reinstalled the whole game, deleted and downloaded it again - didn't help a bit.

EDIT: When I started playing as a republic from new save game, everything works just fine. On my save, the game crashes when I click:
- Laws menu tab
- Wrong type of holding in demesne pop-up button
- The country button next to my character avatar

Do you have those two sound files in there now? If not try a Steam Verify operation.

When you deleted the game, did you make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam CK2 or Documents CK2 locations, before installing again?

But it does sound as if your installation problem has caused an issue with this save game, I'm afraid.

I have all three mentioned .wav files. Well I guess I will just leave it at that then, I've made another save file but I wont risk turning into republic and losing everything once again... Just a shame You cant refund DLC's hahah Thanks.

We can refund DLCs if bought from our store, yes.
