I have been playing my first HoI game as USSR in the 1936 scenario, and my saved game now CTDs at the same time (August 4, 1940 21:00 ) every time I play. The save currently starts at August 4, 1940 0:00. I have another save at August 2, 1940 0:00 that does the same thing but crashes on August 2 when I start it, so I suspect it is trying to fire some dysfunctional event. I believe this because events seem more likely to occur when the game first starts and the fact that it happens every time suggests I have met some sort of condition for an event. The most likely lead was that I just chose "Bring the Finnish Socialism!" (or something like that) on July 26, 1940 and then puppetted them later in the day. I have tried loading as Finland, and the same thing happens. I have also tried other things like updating my Nvidia drivers, disabling sound, changing screen size, etc., but all these seem unlikely candidates anyway because the game played fine up until this point.
I also tried running the fix saved games program to no avail.
I had been playing with the 1.05 patch throughout the game when I encountered this problem. I have applied 1.05c, hoping it would fix it (although I am aware of the caveats of playing an older version game on a new patch), and the only difference was that a new event "Nationalist Spain wins Civil War" (or something like that) fired at 0:00, and the crash was bumped back to 21:00, as described above. With 1.05 it CTDed at 9:00, perhaps because the other event bumps back the point at which the faulty event is checked for and fails to fire. In any case, regardless of the version, it crashes at a consistent time on the same day.
Any suggestions as to what could be the problem. Thank you for any help.
