Game crashes on save, moving to the next day

[Yenzen]

I have most of the recent DLC and updates. No mods. Ironman.

I just won a crusade and when I try to pass a single day, or save, the game crashes without any warning and displaying no error messages. It just goes down.

I've tried to have out all titles until I'm at my demesne limit first thinking the 50 titles I had was the problem, but it does not solve the problem.

Help?

For the record, deleting local content and reinstalling did not solve the problem.

I managed to ectract the savegame, here:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11515475/Pictures/Junkbox/Andet/ironman_neapolis_011.ck2

Examining the crashlog (thanks to a friend trying) gives this error:

[savegamehelper.cpp:275]: Error: "Malformed token: achievement, near line: 1 Malformed token: =, near line: 1 Malformed token: {, near line: 1 " in file: "save games/ironman_neapolis_011.ck2" near line: 1

Trying to intentionally break ironman status to avoid the error does not stop it from crashing.

Halp! This game is/was really unique.

The good news is that save runs fine under the current beta of the next patch, so the problem is already fixed. Just put this save aside until 2.6 is released, it ought to run OK then.

Ah. Good news.

Really wish ironman made some sort of backup save, the thought of stuff like this happening randomly kind of makes it seem a little less attractive :-/.

This problem has not been solved in the latest patch as I was otherwise informed.

Little annoyed, one reason I bought the new DLC was because I thought I could continue my game :-l.

I'm very open to anyone who might have an idea on how to salvage the save. I would hate to leave the AAR based off it dead in the waters, but I'm getting increasingly pessimistic.

I'm sorry for asking, but did you _save_ rather than quicksave? Have you tried passing a day in the save?

I'm playing the new update with DLC now and it is not working.

All I can say is it ran fine for me at the time I said that.

Yes, to both - let some days pass, saved, let some days pass. It still works for me!
Please do a full **clean** re-install:

- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "delete local content" in Steam-CK2
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/CK2 AND Documents/Paradox/CK2 folders
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- start the game with no mods active and test

I hope I didn't give the impression that buying the DLC was necessary to fix the problem! We'd never force people to pay to fix a crash bug.

 

[Yenzen]

I have tried that and the result was the same as last - game crashes while saving or after passing a day. A friend I made try also had the same outcome.

I didn't get the impression that the DLC was necessary, I just headlessly bought it before knowing if the save would work.

Any chance I could convince you to try saving it on the same day with another filename and send it back so I can try loading it?

I am also getting CTD on a fixed date.

Here you go!

Please start your own thread, with all the info you see being asked for in this one. Thanks.

I can't even load that save, says it's a broken savegame.

Is this a bug that simply doesn't exist in the Mac version you're using?

Edit: but now my Ironman save works. I don't even know anymore.
