Victoria III - Game crashes after 1900, eventually corrupting save games [Linux]

[Gnorrosch]

Short summary of your issue
I can play the game more or less fine until about 1880. Afterwards, the game starts to get instable. Originally, this would produce a "tear" in the graphics, but after I disabled VSync, the game crashed to desktop instead. Saves after 1900 will eventually be corrupted. I cannot load any of the attached saves: The exit-save loads, but immediately crashes, the other auto-saves simply freeze when I attempt to load them.

Game Version
1.2.7

What OS are you playing on?
Linux (OpenSuse Tumbleweed)

Do you have mods enabled?
No

Have you tried verifying your game files?
Yes

How much "pain" is this causing you?
8

Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
Frequent crashes to desktop after 1880, regardless of game speed.

Please explain how to reproduce the issue
Play any game on my computer to about 1890 and the crashes will start.

Is there anything else you think could help us identify/replicate the issue?
I cleared the log file directory, have the game crash again, and added all logs found in that directory.

I have attached a save game
Yes

I ran the newest and oldest of those saves for some game years, hands-off, with no problem on my iMac. So it may be particular to your machine or to Linux.

Is there any action or event that seems to trigger the crash?

Can you try those saves on any other machine you might have access to?

 

[Gnorrosch]

I asked around, but nobody I know has Victoria 3 to give it a try, and I do not have any other computers.

I'm not really sure what else to suggest then. As you are on an unsupported distro we can't report this in Bug Reports.

Any chance you could do a test install on those other machines you mention?
