Game Crash trying to load Ironman, last run 1.5, now playing on 1.6

1.5 saves should work in 1.6. You might have some mods involved however? You could try to run the game without the launcher to see if it resolves the issue as I explained here: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?778405-Patch-1.6-WoN-Some-known-issues!

This is very odd.

Are you by any chance trying to load old ironman saves when you are already in another game?

I am having the same problem. Though in my case I was able to play fine with 1.6.1 until yesterday, when I got the crash described by ChipotleMayo. I now crash to desktop if I try to access an Ironman game saved before Tuesday.

EDIT: Applied the "bcdedit /set increaseuserva 3072" solution suggested by AndrewT here, which seems to have solved the problem, though the game seems to be running a tad slow (only tried it once, however, so the speed may be an unrelated issue).

Did the rest of you try that same fix suggested by Andrew?

I tried the fix by Andrew and it did not affect my problem in the slightest. It seems to crash as soon as I click the savefile, either while it is loading the file or just before it starts to load it. I left it for Windows to try to find a solution for a minute hoping to get an error code but no such luck. If needed I can upload the savegame if it will help troubleshoot as I can not get an error code on my own. I did run two mods when I played that game but I do not run those mods anymore as they are not compatible with the new patch.

EDIT: Given that Andrew's solution didn't work, should I reverse that process to remove the fix? It is harmful to my computer to keep the change made since it does not help me in any way?

I think I need to wait for Andrew to answer that :/

That's fine, it's no rush

Should I upload the save file if a dev wants to look at it?

Couldn't hurt
