Unable to load saved games

[Dr Rasta]

Last week I found I could no longer load from "autosave" without having the game freeze my computer. Today, my only other save is causing the same problems.

I have not modded the game, nor altered it in any way. I simply save the game, overwriting the previous save, then exit via the "surrender" option.

I have not patched it as I don't want to lose the game, so I'm still playing on version 1.0.0.1



Is there a solution to this problem? Should I make a copy of the saved game, reinstall Crusader Kings, then try to load? Should I stop overwriting when I save?

I'd appreciate any input.

I've just noticed that main game screen has my game version listed as being 1.04a whereas the Crusaders.exe file version is 1.0.0.1 (viewed when right-clicked on).

Could this discrepancy be the cause of the problem (not being able to load games, that is)?

Welcome to the forum

Your save is corrupted, do you get any error reports?

The best solution is to patch the game to 1.05 and start a new game.

My Win XP system gives no errors; Crusader Kings simply freezes at the "initializing scripts" phase of the load bar [that comes up once you've loaded a game]. CTRL+ALT+DEL lists Crusader Kings' .exe as not responding.


I've looked through the forums, and now think the best thing to do is what you said: get the latest patch and start a new thread.

Thanks for the welcome and for the reply.
