Game Crashes on Character Death

[eye_of_ugin]

I started a new game a few days ago, and while it ran smoothly at first, it has been crashing ever since last night. Specifically, whenever my current character dies, I hear the first few notes of the death announcement, but before the sound finishes or the summary screen for that character appears, the game crashes to the desktop. This behavior is repeatable on reloading (although my character always dies at different times), and also can be reproduced by using the console 'kill' command.

To correct the issue, I have tried verifying my steam cache as well as deleting my Crusader Kings II folder in My Documents. Neither seems to have fixed the issue; however, I have found that the 'kill' command does NOT cause a crash in a new game.

Note that I do not have any installed mods, nor have I used any console commands before trying to reproduce this issue.

Edit: I am using patch 2.3.2.

(P.S. I am not playing in Ironman mode, so I am open to any workarounds via the console, etc.)

This is happening in just this one particular game? Previous games did not have this?

What version # and checksum do you see a/ in the launcher and b/ in the main game menu?

Any mods involved?

 

[eye_of_ugin]

Yes, it is just in this particular game. I have not experienced the issue before, even with other rulers in the same game.

My version and checksum are 2.3.2 MMUR in both the launcher and the main game menu.

I have no mods installed. I did, however, forget to mention I am using the DLC from the CKII Collection (minus Sunset Invasion).

Interestingly, when I play my grandson via the console, kill him, and then kill my character, the game proceeds just fine. If I do the same using any other character, the game still crashes. Is this issue perhaps due to granting my grandson a title that should have been given to one of my sons by gavelkind?

I really have no idea, sorry. But if you post in here a link to the problem save file we can confirm if others see the same problem, if so then log a bug on it.

That's fine; as you might have guessed, I'll just use that weird workaround I found in order to keep playing. It's not ideal, but it should work.

Thank you for your help!

(Note: I would upload the save file for bug testing, but even compressed it well exceeds the 1 MB attachment limit...)

That's why I said to post a link to your saved game, rather than to attach your game as a file here - we're not set up to host huge numbers of files. Use any public hosting site like Dropbox.
