game jamming suddenly :(

sebas379 · Mar 2, 2013

all of a sudden my EUIII is jamming at one point. I'm running DW 5.1 with the Checksum BJLT, is that correct?
I'm in the middle of a war as Castille against Naples and beating them up good, but suddenly the game crashes, I wonder why.

Edit: testing wether it's a specific point where it crashes atm, it's not a set date at least.
First the jam was august 1st, now it seems to constantly jam august 31st...
I am able to reload the last save, which I set to monthly to be able to find the problem. I can start playing, no problem.
I'm trying to figure out wether it might be happening when I capture a province or something next.

Does this happen always in the same time? Does it crash straight when you load the save?

Ok I just got through Oktober and into November....
Now it jammed somewhere in November, I have not idea what causes it yet.

It's not immediatly when I load, it lets me play, sometimes a month, sometimes like 2, but then it stops again.
So far it doesn't look like taking a province or a starting revolt causes it.
This time it jammed New Years Eve. I think it's always at the start of a month but not certain yet.

Does it jam on other saves? maybe the save is corrupted?

But it loads normally and starts playing, shouldn't a corrupted save jam immediatly?
I have no idea where to look for the problem, I mean it could be in any country, or somewhere else.
this time I got through January, but I still haven't found the issue. It does seem to happen every start of a month. I am able to advance a month or 2, maybe 3 every time now because I set autosave to monthly.

Another update

I launched a new game as castille, doing nothing but watching and running on max speed. It doesn't jam so far so I guess there must be something with my actual save that causes it. I made it to 1415 so far and no problems arise (apart from Aragon bashing me up cause I do nothing

)
Ok 1420 and still nothing, clearly there is no problem with the game itself.

A retry with my normal game jammed March 31st. I've had it with testing for tonight, if anybody has a clue where to look for the issue I'd appreciate it, I'll check tomorrow.
