Game crashing every 5 minutes?

[Encadi]

Is it me or this is probably the most buggy expansion to date? Whats up`with the vanilla game (no mod whatsoever) crashing every 5 minutes?

 

[Sirbab]

I get crashing occasionally without mods, but not every 5 minutes, it's more like around once every few years, this last hotfix seems to have made it even worse, even affecting my mp game

 

[Res_Ipsa]

Crashing, AI armies acting odd, save-deletion . . . 1.14, even with the hotfix 1.14.2 is a mess. I'm not mad. Just sad.

Going through withdrawal.

I attacked the nearest Japanese restaurant with Kimchi . . . must remove sushi . . . (I like Korea games and thus hate Japan.)

 

[Susanna]

Tonight is the first time I've ever had EU4 crash on me. It's done it twice in the last hour. (I *think* on both occasions zoomed far out, watching my explorer at work.)

 

[Encadi]

Agreed I have had more crashing tonight than in almost 700 hours played before this patch =(

 

[zechio]

If its the monarch ctd, you need to start a new game. The latest hotfix fixed that, but saves with it already happening will continue to crash

 

[Encadi]

What is the monarch ctd? It happens pretty randomly.

Check your exceptions log. It'll say something about checkMonarchDeath. Make sure you are looking at the most recent one.

 

[Brahir]

Tonight I had 3 crashes. I never had any major crash in my 1400 hrs of gameplay, but tonight, recording was impossible. My crahes happened always during an Autosave.

 

[ricane]

I still have this problem, I cant play the game at all ):

 

[happymix91]

Games started after 1.14.2 will have less CTD, but if you constantly have issues, post your savefile and hardwares at Bug Reports.

 

[Susanna]

Check your exceptions log. It'll say something about checkMonarchDeath. Make sure you are looking at the most recent one.

OK, looks like that is indeed my problem. I guess a new game is in order, then.

I dont think so, I started a new one and still have the same Issue at arround the year 1510 - 1520 like the last game.

 

[Brahir]

What is that CTD everyone is talking about?

 

[temadar]

Not everyone has it, as it stands alot of people, me included, get constant crashes to the desktop arround the year 1500+.
Its unplayable this way.

Just look for the "CheckMonarchDeath" part.

You're getting the above one specifically after starting fresh on 1.14.2? If so, you need to make sure you have posted the specifics ( log and save ) in the bug reports. I haven't seen anything where the devs are aware of it still happening in a fresh one.

I am having the same problem as you, game crashes with new games and save games, ironman and non-ironman. The weird thing is the game worked perfectly with patch 1.14 until they did hotfix 1.14.1 and still does not work with hotfix 1.14.2. It will occasionally crash as soon as I load into a game, if I am lucky I can get a few years in before it crashes. It is currently IMO unplayable. I wish they would put all patches in the beta menu so we could load up the version of the game which is most stable for us.

Edit - It seems to crash every 5 minutes or so of game time, here is my latest exception dump:

Game worked way better without the hotfixes.

I was getting crashes every 6 months or so with the same exception but they suddenly went away when I made my monarch a general and assigned him. Crash free for 20 years.
