Saves made on 1.8.4 crashes after update to 1.8.6, even after rollback

[quarion.pl]

Summary​

In my campaign game crashes after few days have passed. I have tried both latest save, and saves from 1 and 2 years prior.

Description​

I have updated to 1.8.6 and resumed campaign. The game started crashing after few days. What I have tried:

- Tested older save (1 and 2 years before)
- Rolled back to 1.8.4 - still crashes, and also with the above saves
- Disable mods, verified integrity, reinstalled, forced 60hz, deleted shader cache, disabled full screen optimization

Steps to reproduce​

Load save
Unpause
Wait few days

All logs seems to end with following line from pdx_gui "Could not find widget" (cannot post full line due to spam rules :/)

Saves made before 1.8.0 won't work properly on 1.8.x. To continue older playthroughs, using a rollback branch is recommended.
The CTD does indeed reference GUI widgets and that is most likely an issue spawned by mods, which touch upon these elements
( • More Spreadsheets Fork-1.7+
• Dense UI & Others
Expanded Production Menu)
Sadly we won't be able to assist with mod-related CTDs or games started on older major versions.

Hi, thanks for the replay.
This campaign was started on 1.8.0 and upgraded fine to all subsequent versions up to yesterday (1.8.6) release. I have played this campaign with and without those UI mods no problem.
So 2 things have changed yesterday, before the crashing started:
- I have upgraded vic to 1.8.6
- Have tweaked the graphics settings with nvidia game optimizer

No mods have been updated or enabled/disabled before this crashing have started
And the re-install have restored the graphics settings to default.

Maybe somebody else will report those issues, otherwise I guess my save got corrupted? But what I do not understand why all of my saves I have made on 1.8.4 and successfully re-loaded before yesterday update are now also crashing, even when I rollback the game to 1.8.4

Just because the mods didn't cause issues before, doesn't mean they aren't the problem now! As @PDX_Sosanna says, QA and the devs cannot help with modded games in any way.

Is it possible those mods need to be updated to work better with the new game patch?

But what I do not understand why all of my saves I have made on 1.8.4 and successfully re-loaded before yesterday update are now also crashing, even when I rollback the game to 1.8.4

When loaded under 1.8.6 the save files would have been updated, and that will still be the case after you revert to 1.8.4 . Do you have any saves that have not been loaded under 1.8.6?

Hi!
I have the same issue but I don't run mods. I started the game 3 days ago, before the patch
Please, help... SO end the campaing :'(

Have you tried reverting to that previous patch, and loading a save from before the new patch came out?
