[2.2.1] CTD due to bugged levy.

How to reproduce CTD: Most interactions with this levy while that levy is in that specific province. If you combine the levy with other troops, CTD. If you disband this levy, CTD.

Honestly i've been reporting CTD's with how to reproduce them and how to work around them ever since CM came out. Not sure exactly what you guys did that borked it for me, but i've owned this game since 2011 with over 600 hours on it and never had issues. The fact that i've yet to see anyone from paradox say that anything regarding this kinda makes me think that this issue will plague this game for quite some time.

Nice catch I'll see if I can reproduce it and fix it. Might also just be a dlc package got corrupted(the beta had issues with dlcs) and downloading a new one forced the other to be fixed. But OP said he cleaned out the entire folder. So kind of puzzled.

Edit: I managed to reproduce it and will make sure its fixed! Thanks for the help Dracko81

To piggyback on this, is that the same issue that I reported earlier ( http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?817696-2.2.1-100-chance-of-CTD )? The only reply I got was that my post about it in tech support was merged into my original bug report.

I'd vote yes, reading your report is what gave me idea that it was a unit sprite issue.

Dracko, it's not exactly right, I have all the spirit pack but I still getting those crashes.

Did you definately manually delete the graphics folder and reinstall them?

Although it does not mean your issue could be completely different. Others have purchased sprite packs and it has resolved their issues. But it could actually be a base sprite in the game that is causing the issue and using the sprite packs is actually a work around to stop the crash. Unless PDS discloses the actual issue in these cases it would be difficult to say if it is actually the same issue.

I have all of those packs but i do experience the same levy bug,

I've re installed the game updated the Nvidia driver, No salvation. I spent 120 hours in building my Jewish British Empire and i am not going to lose it to some CTD.

Please help.

Try the following:
- disable all cosmetic DLC from your game (portrait, units)
- do a clean reinstall
- make sure cosmetic DLC are disabled
- play the game

See if that helps.

I'd say that will increase the chance of crashes. Since he has a Jewish Britannia, he is probably already using the base unit sprites for his troops. Rather than the Norse/Saxon/Celtic packs that have resolved issues for other people.

I think that the fact that it took me repeatedly bitching that this issue was a bug, not a system issue, and Dracko81 spending 8 bucks of his own money (prolly closer to 15 for that Australia markup on steam) that PI should at least gift dracko with the next expansion for free or something. I mean damn, it took the guy spending his money to solve a bug that they couldn't recognize it as an actual a bug.

I was in a position to help. The next time you are in a position to do the same...

 

[donnyb83]

Heh, that would have required me to figure out the correct possible cause. Hell I didn't even realize that something like that could even have been the root cause. Also, I figured the steam thing was just to chat faster, didn't realize that it was for gifting till I came back to my desktop after a commercial break during southpark and saw those sitting there, but yeah... paying it forward is always good.

I've done that and it didn't helped, I agree with dracko that it will be problematic to remove all DLC's.
I hope that eventually PI will solve that.

Dracko,you setting up the bar for this community and that's a blessed thing.

Cheers!
