Was your error coming up in a long game? I had an issue like that in 266 years long save and think it's cause of 32bit OS and no more than 3GB RAM.

It's either that or karma for killing 3 innocent little boys so their genius older sister could inherit.

The error popped up regularly ever since the beginning of the game. I had another save (in ironman too) where I had the same problem so I don't think it's specific to this save.

I think I had an issue like this a while back because of another invalid save game.
Could you try moving all other saves to a folder outside the save games?
And see if the problem is still there?

I only recently reinstalled the game. I launched a campaign with the Magyars and ran into this problem, so I launched another one with an Indian Raj. This means I only have two saves right now. I removed the other one (the Magyar campaign) from the saves folder and launched the game but nothing changed. I can play for approximately two years (four autosaves) and then the game gives the same error message each time I try to save.

Are you using any Coat of Arms, portrait packs and music DLC? Disable all of them to lessen the demand for memory. You might also want to edit the settings.txt file under mapRenderingOptions.
Other than Terrain, Borders and Tooltips, everything else to no.

It might have no impact at all, its just the way I play T_T

If you have 32bit Windows this is a problem there because the game cannot access enough memory to run properly, it (indeed all apps) is limited to 2gb.

If that is the situation, AND you have 3gb or more installed in this machine, you can increase that limit to 2,5gb:

1: Open Command Prompt (it's in Accessories in Vista)
2: Set it to be in Admin mode http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc947813(v=ws.10).aspx
3: Paste this in: bcdedit /set increaseuserva 2560
4: Restart
5: If you ever need to undo: BCDEdit /deletevalue increaseuserva

Note this will reduce memory available to Windows by the same amount to may impact overall performance.

The only true fix is to go to 64bit Windows with 4gb or more of memory, preferably say 8gb.

I have 4098MB RAM of memory, should I go ahead and increase the limit ?
