Savegame bug

[ConjurerDragon]

Version: 2.1 beta of 15.10.2008 under Windows 98SE

Action: Trying to load a saved game.

Reproducable: Always.

Playing as the Count of St. Gallen I saved a game.
Later I started CK again and wanted to load the game.
The first hint of a bug was that IN the game in the window of saved games the saved games name was only "County of St"the rest being cut off. Not "of St. Gallen" or the date as usually would be.

When clicking on the savegame and trying to start the game CK freezes.

Using CTRL-ALT-DEL I could exit the game. In the savegame folder I found that on the harddisk the name of the savegames is actually correct as "County of St. Gallen"+date.

My guess would be that the "." in the name of the savefile prevents CK somehow from loading the savegame.

Moved to a separate thread since this is a different kind of bug

I have tried to load a save-game as St. Gallen and got into the same problem as you.

You can fix this though, by doing the following. Go to Crusader Kings/config/province_names.csv, open it with Wordpad or Notepad, change the name of St. Gallen to Sankt Gallen, like this

PROV248;Sankt Gallen;;;Sankt Gallen;;;;;;;X

Then save this file (remember to edit the 'read only' option from the file-properties) again.

Now also rename your save-game so that the . after St. is removed.

You now should be able to play a game as Sankt Gallen

Tried it and it works. However even by simply removing only the .
and naming the country "St Gallen" it works also.
