My previous game, after fixing the convoy auto resupply, also crashed around 1943.

I've uploaded the savegames here http://www.mediafire.com/?7g9yp38ci704u9c
The corrupted ones are "enclave 1 march 1938" and "oldautosave", both were made in the year 1943 from the short description.

Hope this helps fix any possible bugs and it would be really great if you could fix it somehow :/

Thanks!


The save called Enclave_1938_March_1.eug is corrupt and the in game date is July 5 1943 (ignore the name of the save).

Here is the debug log file: http://www.gamefront.com/files/20715913/savedebug.txt

event_text.csv

EVT_11114_DESC - there is a use of single % as a percentage symbol. In HoI/DH % is a special character in strings that reserves a place for another string (%s) or number (%d / %.Xf). If you want to use % as an in-game character, then you should use %%.
"achieved a 72% stability factor" -> "achieved a 72%% stability factor"

You should not use " into names as this corrupts save-games. You can use ' instead. Here is an example from one of your saves:

airunit = {
id = { type = 4712 id = 148863 }
name = "1st BoS Airfleet "Steel Wings""
location = 620
home = 620

The save cannot be read correctly because name is read as "1st BoS Airfleet " and then all the unit data is messed up.
Changing the name to "1st BoS Airfleet 'Steel Wings'" fixes the loading problem.


And here are few more errors that you should fix too

And yet another error in unitnames.csv:

You are wonderful, Martin. I'll fix all that.

Is there any way I could've spotted this for myself without taking up your valuable time? This stuff doesn't seem to appear in the debug log.

Cheers,
Sword

I used a Debug EXE to find the last batch of errors, but as these are quite common I'll make this log available when using the Release EXE too (maybe when extra logs are enabled in settings.cfg to not slow down the game for casual players )


EDIT

	- Report for wrong command syntax (Missing = in statement.) 
	- Report for invalid event picture – only when extra debug logs are enabled in settings.cfg
	- Seazones.txt - only when extra debug logs are set to 2 in settings.cfg
	- Report on missing tech year or tech picture - only when extra debug logs are enabled in settings.cfg
	- Report on incorrect format of text strings (missing or extra %) - only when extra debug logs are enabled in settings.cfg
