Game crash when last enemy annexed / puppeted

Hi,

I am running v1.03b and keep hitting the same bug. Whenever the last member of an enemy alliance (I am playing as the English member of the Allies and therefore the enemy alliances are the Axis and the Cominterm) is annexed or puppeted, the game crashes out to Windows.

In my present game (June 21, 1945), the only remaining enemy nation is Tannu Tuva and when it is annexed by my German puppet (the Germans having already annexed the Soviets and Mongolia. The USA having annexed Japan), the game briefly flashes up a dialog to warn of the consequences of this act then crashes out to windows.

It would be better if the game just told me that the last enemy had been defeated and perhaps displayed the VP screen?

This bug still occurs? Got a save of just before annexing? This is very very important to me. Send it over zipped with a link to this thread in the mail text.

I assume from your reply that this is a known bug?

I have emailed you the zipped file(s) and I would like to note this bug has happened a number of times, but this one is easily reproducible.

GRMBL.. It was a known bug, obviously it wasn't completely fixed. Thx for the save

Glad to be of help, the game is fun and this bug is more than a little irritating!

Vulture, from the tiny bit of Flemish I remember from the three years I spent in Brussel, bedankt!

Vulture,

I assume that the fix for this problem will not be in 1.04? So, I guess I will have to wait for a while until I can finish my current game?

Btw, when will 1.04 be availale for download?

Steve

1.03b : Koch Media : Normal difficulty : normal AI : No mods

I doubt it will make 1.04 then
Also, I don't know the exact release of 1.04... Soon though

Hmmm

Happened to me as well, also KOCH Media, perhaps a Publisher Problem....

I have seen the bug occur a number of times but the one I started this thread with the last straw. I get a CTD every time I eliminate the last opponent, either by annexing or puppeting. It would seem to me that the game is good at war and not good at peace, still thats a good balance for a wargame!

I logged it. Weird thing is I don't experience this CTD 100% of the time. Sometimes it works well. Your savegame should help to it

Vulture,

For what it is worth, I just installed 1.04 and re-run the saved game I sent you. Unsurprisingly, the game CTD!

I was not really expecting the 1.04 patch to fix the bug, but I thought you would want to know that it did not!

Note that you'll have to start a new game to benefit from all the goodies in the patch. Otherwise, you just load the OLD data. Start a new game or you won't benefit from the changes

But yes, this bug is sometimes still there. Still not 100% of the time though.
