Save game/Load game crash

[das]

Not completely sure if this goes here or in bug reports, but the game crashes whenever I click the Save Game button in the game menu or the Load Game button in the main menu. What makes this baffling is that autosaves seem to save and load just fine. This is with 2.8.3.2. I thought it might be due to mods, but even after switching all of them off the Load Game crash persists. Verifying the game files did not help.

Has this always happened ever since you've had the game? r only since what change or update?

Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-CK2
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/CK2 AND Documents/Paradox/CK2 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- start the game with no mods active and test

In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam CK2 or Documents CK2 locations, before installing again.


IF that doesn't help, DXDIAG is a program you run from a command prompt or the Windows start menu 'run' dialog box (or 'search programs' in Windows 7 or later). After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.

Please attach your Documents/Paradox/CK2/settings.txt.
From your Documents/Paradox/CK2/logs/ folder, attach system.log .

Never happened before; only since the latest update. Will get back to you on the rest.

Okay, a complete reinstall appears to have fixed it. Saving/loading works fine now, with and without mods.

I've also had this bizarre bug. Hadn't played in a couple of months and was very surprised by this (I have more than 900 hours prblem free before this). I will try this out and get back to you.

It worked.
