BUG #2537 : Bug in Luxembourg Independence

Bug in Luxembourg Independence

Playing MP game as Netherlands and Belgium.

Got to the Luxemburg independence event and all saved game files afterwards were unloadable. Upon examining one, I discovered it had given Luxemburg:

nationalprovinces = { 782 -1 }

Deleting the -1 fixed the game file.

Hmmmm...so it corrupted the game file? Logged

Java Bug

I am playing the game as the British Empire, and the people of Java have declared there independance from the Netherlands. I press OK thanks for the information and crash o' rama. Anyone have any fix ideas for this? I can not seem to find the Java independance event file.

Thanks
Karl

You should probably post this in the bug forum

CTD involving Luxembourg

I was experiencing a persistent CTD in April 1890, soon after the event for Luxembourg's independence from the Netherlands. I happened to make a save-game file just before the CTD, so I tried to reload the game and found an error in the file.

Turns out that Luxemburg had two national provinces, one of them province ID -1.

I deleted the spurious national province and the game worked fine from that point - save-game file loaded, no CTD in 1890.

This is the only time I've seen this, so it may not happen every time the Luxembourg-independence event triggers.

Same thing here. Independent Java forms, boom, CTD. When I try to load a save I made after the Java event but before the crash (I'm really good with the pause key heh) the game tells me the scenario file is corrupt - wrong province ID number in line 34XX - can't remember the exact number now, but if this hasn't been isolated yet, I have the save game and can send it in upon request.

I wonder if it could be related to:

Bug with Luxembourg Independence

Check to see if there is a spurious -1 in the national provinces of Java in the saved game.

-C

 

[unmerged(7034)]

I tried. Oh how I tried. Indeed the line I get when trying to load the save is wrong province id -1, which makes me think it's a very similar problem. But I can't find an independent Java in the save file. Java does exist there as a colony = yes of the Netherlands. Needless to say switching this to colony = no accomplished nothing.

Any pointers as to what I could do to locate the independent Java? Maybe it has some fancy name I'm not aware of that needs to be etnered into the Find box? Please help, it's painful: I've invested nearly 20 hours into that game and unless I fix the Java thing that time has been completely wasted.

BTW it's line 364037, but I can't take all day to count the lines. I know there are programs that count the lines but I don't know what they're called, or where I could dl them for free. Please help.

I think the problem is that you're crashing before you get a chance to save the game with the independent Java so that you can remove the -1.

Do you have a chance to pause after the Independent Java and save?

-C

 

[unmerged(21481)]

No the saved game file you make after the decleration of indepedence is corrupt and unusable.

 

[unmerged(7034)]

I saved the game when the popup panels informing me about Java's independence appeared - I've set options so that info like that pauses the game. Originally when I unpaused it the game ran for a couple of seconds before the CTD. Now, whenever I try to load the save, I get a message that the scenario contains a buggy line.

I've looked through the save game file using the 'find Next' command. Java is listed as a state and as a colony of the Netherlands; nothing about it being an independent state.

 

[Derek Pullem]

This bug is the same as the Newfoundland bug already reported. Is this in 1881 scenario?

 

[unmerged(7034)]

No, I was playing the Grand Campaign.... twenty hours invested, a very difficult war won.... all for nothing.... *sob*

 

[Chris8b]

Right, the save game is corrupt. If you edit out the -1 in the nationalprovinces for Java, however, it may well work.It did for Luxembourg.

If you want, PM me for my email address and I'd be glad to look at your saved game to see if I can fix it.

I'VE FOUND IT! I entered the tag "JAV" into Find Next and after a lot of scrolling I found the national provinces line. Just as Chris said, there was a -1 entry at the end of the list of national province numbers. I deleted it and bingo - everything works.

Thanks so much Chris!

My pleasure!

And it turns out that this is an important bug report as it illustrates a more general bug with independence rather than it being limited to the Luxembourg event.

Game crashes (Sweden)

The game crashes when I've got into the game for some time. It's around the time 1890-1900 when game crashes. If I save and play the game again, it keeps crashing again at around the same time. I have only recently acquired the game and so far only played with Sweden, so I don't know if this problem only occurs when playing with Sweden or not.
I didn't see this bug in the reported bugs forum. I may have missed it though. If I have, I apologize.
I had the same crash when playing EU2. But when that game crashed I just loaded the autosave and continued, and it didn't crash at the same place again.
An occuring problem for Paradox games perhaps?

comp specs.

And I don't think my cpu is the problem here:
I have 10 Gb of free space left, 256 RAM and 1600Mhz, GeForce2 64mb.

Sorry I am new at this. I didn't mean to start a new thread, just wanted to add this to the previous thread I wrote: "Game crash (Sweden)"
