Crash on old save (non-Ironman)

[Makkovar]

Since patch 1.4 the game has been crashing whenever I try to save or on autosaves. I tried reinstalling and just copying a local save to continue it, crashes still happen.
I can, however, start a new game and all works fine.

I can tell similar problems are common right now, any solutions? I'd like to finish the game I started pre-patch.

No, there is no solution right now I'm afraid. I'll add this thread to the problem report.

Are the saves local or to the cloud? Whichever one, can you try the other for us please?

Hi

I got the same problem, or actualy a quite group of people with who we play multiplayer have this problem.
After patching to 1.4 save is not working. (for anyone, so no matter of PC)
It is possible to load a game on this save but it crashes after few days, sometimes few months if lucky.
What is important is that it is impossible to save game after starting on this save.
When clicking save game, game crashes, save actually is done, but trying to load it crashes still in lobby.

Here is that latest save:

We tried save games created by other poeple during MP session before patch, but its the same.
As a host i had many previous saves and i was checking them, all were crashing, until 1520.
At 1520 we have the last save that is not crashing, but we would really dont want to go back to that date, because many important things happened.

Do you think is there a chance that this issue will be fixed ?

Best Regards
Mac

Actually, that's not the same problem at all - this problem is where the game crashes while autosaving only, and happens with a new game started under 1.4 too. Yours sounds like a 1.3/1.4 incompatibility.

It's not clear to me that this is the same problem either. With the problem this thread is about, the crashes only occur during autosaving. Not manual saving, and not at other times. Does that describe what you are reporting?

Hmm i'm not sure if its the same but its similiar

Since patch 1.4 the game has been crashing whenever I try to save or on autosaves. I tried reinstalling and just copying a local save to continue it, crashes still happen.
I can, however, start a new game and all works fine.

for me also for new game everything works.
And for old game game crashes whenever trying to save. But also crashes after some time without saving (maybe it is the same for other person, but they just didnt check that)

Actually, the first post in this thread states "Since patch 1.4 the game has been crashing whenever I try to save or on autosaves". So the problem, also experienced by the original poster, seems to be both autosaves, as well as normal saves.

Well, either way, by your account your problem is only with pre-1.4 saves. Is that still so? If you start a new game you get these crashes, if so under what circumstances?

As for me (sorry for not having responded in my own thread for a while) the problem does indeed occur whenever I'm saving, both local and cloud. Only with pre-1.4 patch saves, however. I have played a little bit with a game strted after the patch and no such problems occur. Hope it's solvable.
