I have the exact same issue, on 3 different saves. All on 1.6.1. I can play sometimes only 50 years, sometimes 100 but at some point its going to crash at a specific date.

I am experiencing the same issue. I am playing on Windows Steam, up to date on all DLC and the most recent patch. No mods enabled. I started in 1066 and my game crashes on ironman consistently on June 13, 1177. Crash reporter is also not working.

Does it make a clicking sound before it crashes?

 

[terrapat]

I didn't hear a clicking sound but Dev Diary #102 solved it for me.

P.S.: A crash was identified recently, which we were unfortunately not able to resolve in this update. We are however working on a resolution for this issue, which we will release as soon as possible.

The crash occurs if you let a Court Event sit in your Royal Court unanswered, meaning the game will crash when the event would time out.
This can be worked-around by answering your Court Events before they time out.

The court event does indeed seem to be the issue. After dealing with it, I was able to progress in the game. What's odd is that some court events have timed out properly without crashing. Good luck to the Paradox employee in charge of fixing this
