Falmer game crashes when day ticks

[shorun]

Ok, so i made a Ruler designer Falmer character in the reach and managed to conquer all of the reach.
No problems yet.

The kahanaten flu strikes the world, killing off many people including my king, no problems yet.
my grandson rules the kingdom, the flu moves on to other parts of the world, everything within my reach cleared out, i save the game

Now i load the game, it loads up fine, i can check all counties/characters without a problem, but if i unpause the game and the day ticks i can see the date change and the game CTD's!
So i load up an autosave, same deal, i load up the other autosaves, same deal!

This only happens with this playtrough, my other savedgames (pyandonea, alinor and hagraven/reachmen) all work like a charm, new games work like a charm, just this one playtrough seems to have an issue (it's not the game, it's the save).

So i load up the save once more to re-save it without compression, maybe there's a bad line in the save? it crashes while saving!

After going trough the log files there is nothing there that does not show up with working saves, so the cause of the crash is not being logged.

So to recap, i just had a new king, the flu just hit, whatever it is it's not because of this particular day because the autosaves have it to, it's not my king himself because the last autosave still has my old king -> same problem.

i'd report it on the bugtracker but i have no idea what is causing this in the first place, so is there anyone who had this before and can they tell me what is going on?

I had the same problem with my playthrough

I didn't fix it, but play from your last workable save into the flu. Then keep playing without quitting until the flu completely runs its course for the entire game (I'd say keep it for a decade or so after the flu leaves your field of view to be safe). For me that allowed me to save and reload again without issue.

If it is not reproducable chances are we will not be able to fix it.

how far into your game are you? since your game CTDs after just one tick and your saves are compressed as is the standard, it's entirely possible that you've been bit by the compression bug that has assassinated many a string of save files. if your autosaves have the same problem as your regular save... sorry man, your screwed then (and i feel your pain. RIP hungarian empire from 2.1.4). always make sure to uncheck the compression before saving.

Ye i rebuild what i had using the great cheat powers console gives us and continued from where i was (sort of), i now keep several versions of savegames ready so i can Always roll back to a working savegame. I never found out what the issue was but i did get as far as some sort of compression issue with the savegames, i didnt really made something of it till i read your comment, likely it's got something to do with it.


Ah well, there's Always a price to pay for a complex game...

yeah, when i had that problem i spent about an hour and a half looking around the internet in a panic. this is like the blue screen of death for people playing on ironman.
