gfx//coats_of_arms//dynasties2. Error

[brandonm699]

My game crashes a few days after loading any save-game file on the same day. The following message appears in the error log:
[texturehandler.cpp:181]: Couldn't find texture file: gfx//coats_of_arms//dynasties2.tga.

Any help would be great.

Everyone gets that error message, it's nothing to do with your problem.

You probably have the 1.092 autosave bug, you'll see several threads about it here and in Bug Reports. Until a fix is released, try turning off autosave and manually saving the game at least every month.

 

[brandonm699]

Okay Thanks. I'll give that a try.

 

[brandonm699]

I turned off autosave and saved manually every one to two months, and the game still crashes on the same day of the same year every single time. Does this solution not work for saved games, but only to prevent the same problem in new games?

 

[brandonm699]

I started a new game and no problems thus far. I probably had a corrupt file.

 

[AndrewT]

Yes, that's the bug - if you play for a while, autosave starts corrupting the saves. That's why frequent manual saving helps.

 

[brandonm699]

Oh, okay. Thanks for your help.

So you are saying if you have a game going for awhile it eventually just becomes unplayable? I have yet to finish a game all the way through with all of these updates and patches.

Not everyone gets the autosave corruption issue, but a lot of people are since 1.092, yes. It's not clear why some do and some don't. If you are getting that, please contribute to the investigation here
