Hello,
I have downloaded the official 1.08 patch and the 1.08 beta patch. I even managed to play as Russia right up till 1750, with no problems. Whichever savegame I use before 1756 I get an immediate crash to desktop between 1756-1758, no matter what I do. I did use a few event codes(eg:- event 3423) to put Russia on a par with the other countries(There's not much point in playing a country unless you have a chance to outdo what the country did historicallY).

Any advice would be appreciated. The AGCEEPmod is far bette than the standard version otherwise, especially without the blasted random events!

We'll need more info to try and localize it. A precrash savegame in particular. If you don't have webspace of your own to host it, email me at summoner@hotpop.com with the files and I'll host it for other people to look at.

I suffered ctd lock with a russian game in the 1770's. The cause was never identified, but in my case at least, going back ~50y (I didn't have anything more recent) to a really old savegame got past the fatal point.

Re:- Bug

When I said I had tried previous savegames to avoid the crash to desktop, I meant that I had only really tried using savegames from 1738-1758, with no luck. I'll try your suggestion and pick out a savegame from 50 years earlier, say c.1700 - maybe that will work. Alternatively, I vaguely remember reading elsewhere about how the 1.08 beta patch may interfere with the AGCEEP mod causing a crash to desktop -something to do with the monarchs list(?), so I may have to reinstall without the beta patch. Anyway, the beta patch seemed rather unnecessary to be honest.
Thanks

Bug Any ideas

Hello again,
Just occurred to me that due to laziness I may only have updated the AGCEEP mod with the 1.08 beta patch from may rather than the 5th september version. Oops! Maybe that's the reason for the crash to desktop!

if you tried a 30yo one without success I wouldn't ut too much hope in the 50yo one doing any better. In my case after the old autosave, the 50y one was my most recent save, since I normally stop playing on jan 1st.

Hi again,
Everything's fine now with my AGCEEP game. When I restarted my Ottoman Empire game after a crash-to-desktop c.1446, it happened again even with the new September 5th 1.08 beta patch. I am deeply suspicious of beta versions, so I uninstalled everything, and this time did NOT install the September 5th 1.08 beta patch. I am now at 1535 AD and have had not one CTD at all, whereas they happened regularly in my Ottoman and Russian 1419 campaigns.
