Database error loading save game.

[unmerged(35684)]

When attempting to load my saved game, I see the following three errors pop up in message boxes, and then the game crashes.

(unknown lhs in scenario file (titleholder)) "year = 1098" Line = 1124012

(unknown lhs in scenario file (titleholder)) "month = june" Line = 1124012

(illegal top level object) "day = 4" Line = 1124012


Here is what shows up at that line number, when I open the file in a text editor; line 1124012 contains only the closing brace of the first "title" object.

title = {
tag = ESSX
tier = duchy
liege = FRAN
holder = { character = { type = 4712 id = 205477 } startdate = { year = 1153 month = november day = 18 } }
claim = { id = { type = 4712 id = 326669 } character = { type = 4712 id = 280777 } }
claim = { id = { type = 4712 id = 326670 } character = { type = 4712 id = 323505 } }
claim = { id = { type = 4712 id = 326671 } character = { type = 4712 id = 212223 } }
} //Line 1124012

title = {
tag = DFRA
tier = duchy
liege = ----
holder = { character = NONE startdate = { year = 1098 month = june day = 4 } enddate = { year = 1126 month = november day = 21 } }
}


EDIT: I am using version 1.5

Well, I've never seen something like this: "character = NONE" appear before, but that sounds like the problem. Try deleting the entry for the DFRA, starting from the "title = {" and ending on the closing bracket. How did you get this thing happening in the first place though?

Deleting the DFRA entry did indeed fix the problem. The game loaded as normal after I did that.

I don't know how I got this to occur; I've been playing this game as the count of Pfalz, and have not done very much. I saved and loaded several times throughout the game with no trouble, then this suddenly happened.

I don't even know if this is related to my character; what is DFRA anyway?

 

[unmerged(21937)]

DFRA is duchy of Francia in 1.05, duchy of Valois in IP2. One of the duchies usually created by king of France very soon after beginning.

save game

Unfortunately I don't even get this far, I can't start my save games at all...?

(not if i'm in the right thread, sorry)

You'll need to give quite a bit more information on what is the problem you face. And to make sure you have 1.05 patch.

yes yes you are right, off course.
So. Here's the whole story.

I downloaded and installed the patch (1.05) received absolutely no errors.
Started the game, everything is allright.
Played the game, everything still going great.
Saved the game, still going good.
Quit the game, no problems.
Restarted the game, allright

I get the menu where you can choose campaigns (i think they are not working either) the list of kingdoms and the save games. When this menu appears the start button is grey (inactive) when i select a kingdom or county or whatever it becomes active.
But when i select a campaign or a save game the start button stays inactive.

i tried double-clicking the campaigns/savegames with both left and right but no reaction.

So the problem is I cannot start a savegame, which is a shame because i can never finish a game in 1 go (i am fanatic sometimes but i don,t have that kind of time.

I am not sure but it seems that you do this

Step 1 : You select a country
Step 2 : Then you select a save game file

While it should be

Step 1 : Select a save game file or scenario
Step 2 : Then select a country

Then you select the start button

Hope this helps

Thanks for the help

Just to say i got an identical error, but it corrupted all my saves at once. The fix in this thread worked. Just letting you know this isnt a freak occurance.

I got a similar problem with one of my games.

This is the error I get.

It's the same for month and day.

This is the line in question

title = { 
    tag = SAME 
    tier = duchy 
    liege = ---- 
    holder = { character = { type = 4712 id = 56208 } startdate = { year = 1086 month = march day = 0 } enddate = { year = 1099 month = july day = 23 } } 
    }

And this is the character who I think causes it. Otherwise I've no clue

character = { 
    id = { type = 4712 id = 56208 } 
    dyn = 100397 
    tag = C568 
    name = "Èoavvá" 
    home = 401 
    date = "10580702" 
    gender = male 
    religion = pagan 
    culture = "lappish" 
    deathdate = "11071025" 
    score = { prestige = 209.927 piety = 31.700 } 
    attributes = { 
        martial = 2.000 
        diplomacy = 2.000 
        intrigue = 4.000 
        stewardship = 3.000 
        health = 4.000 
        fertility = 4.000 
        } 
    traits = { detached_priest = yes } 
    loyalty = 0.550 
    dna = "79008285660011" 
    }

Looking at it with a quick glance, I would say that this has to be changed

character = { 
    id = { type = 4712 id = 56208 } 
    dyn = 100397 
   [COLOR=Lime] tag = SAME [/COLOR] 
    name = "Èoavvá" 
    home = 401 
    date = "10580702" 
    gender = male 
    religion = pagan 
    culture = "lappish" 
    deathdate = "11071025" 
    score = { prestige = 209.927 piety = 31.700 } 
    attributes = { 
        martial = 2.000 
        diplomacy = 2.000 
        intrigue = 4.000 
        stewardship = 3.000 
        health = 4.000 
        fertility = 4.000 
        } 
    traits = { detached_priest = yes } 
    loyalty = 0.550

 

[bowl of soup]

No doesn't do it I'm affraid

 

[Veldmaarschalk]

I think you have posted a wrong line

In the line the 'year = 1081' should be mentioned which isn't mentioned in your line.

AFAIK the errormessage unknown lhs means that there is a } or { missing or there is one to much.

 

[bowl of soup]

well actually that is the correct line, odd as it may seem, I checked a couple of times. I know what you mean the line says 1086 in stead of 1081. as for the brackets I don't see any that could be wrong. Do you know an easy way to check, I don't want to go through the entire file?

 

[Veldmaarschalk]

In the line you posted there is no bracket missing. I don't know an easy way to check them, only that each opening bracket { should have a closing bracket }

Maybe if you search for 'year = 1081' you can see if one is missing
