CtD when exiting to Main Menu

[seriousgigi]

lots of crashes i can't even play properly.

and also before 1.14 if you open game (loading takes ~3-4min) once then exit game and when you reopen the game, loading wasn't take ~3-4min it was opening instantly (in seconds) but after 1.14 i have to wait 5 min. every time i open the game.

Its not a crash, its a complete reset of databases, instead of the former partial ones that always created bugs.

Ok, so it's intentional and necessary. That's fine but pardon me for being sarcastical, the meaning of the word 'back' will never be the same again...

And fixing exploits which are based on this partial reset, isnt it?

Or did you catch that part as 'bug'

This confused me as well. instead of Exit to Main Menu, write Restart Game. It is what actually happens, and makes everything a lot clearer.

This would alleviate much of the frustration ... "oh, the game has to properly restart, okay"

This "feature" is so annoying. Why should the game restart when I go back to the main menu? In single player mode, no less!!! I hope they fix this.

Europa Universalis IV is not even getting back to Menu at all. It will just freeze and will not be able to restart. I put up a bug report in technical support.

Basically the graphic and task manager will show EU4 as unresponsive and will not let me see anything because graph doesn't refresh. So this restart thing may have been a part of creating this issue I can't fix.

Right now I have to alt+tab and kill the EU4 in task manager to avoid graph freezing at all.

i can't stand anymore, stopped playing until new patch comes out!

As I said in another thread, going to menu and starting a new campaign never worked properly before. You may have thought it worked because there were no error messages, but in most cases the game state would not be quite right, which in some cases was noticeable. It has been recommended for a long time to completely exit and restart the game whenever you reload or create a new campaign, the only difference now is that the game does it automatically. Could P'dox have fixed their loading routine? Probably, but between other bugs and feature additions, I can understand why they went for the quick&dirty fix here. It would probably not be worth the effort

I'm surprised people go back to the menu so much that this matters.

It isn't that easy to perfectly purge the cache while the game is still open.

+1, this bug is still an issue. Can't seem to go back to the main menu after I clicked Singleplayer. :/
Same thing happens from the menu ingame.

Read stuff before you necro... Everything WAD

I did, and no, it really doesn't.

Is the reset of the database necessary when for example, the player selects single player, does nothing, and clicks back to return to the main menu because they realised they need to change a setting on the main menu options?

This often happens to me, I never need to click back for anything else.

If you have a CTD when exiting, create a new thread in the Tech Support thread, don't necro an old thread.
