Has anyone else had an issue with the game crashing at a specific date?

[fateofmorality]

In my recent Aragon game, my game crashes to desktop at the same date, June 30th, 1674.

Its a shame because this was easily a mare norstrum/WC run. Has anyone else ever had these kind of issues and if so, how did you fix it?

Save file attached if you want to check it out. It was a great game.

Perhaps it's a mod conflict? Drivers?

It wouldn't be any mods, I have none active. I also don't know what drivers could affect it as nothing on my computer has changed...

I'm hoping someone from Paradox takes a look at the safe file to see whats going wrong, it happened to someone else which I saw on Reddit. This is a game-ending bug I hope they address.

Is the king in prussia incident active in the HRE and are you playing in a language other than english? In that case try to switch to english temporarily.

Prussia doesn't exist. I thought it could be that but it isn't : /

I tried your save game and it didn't crash for me. Does it crash for you between the 29th and the 30th or between the 30th and the first of July? On the first of July your estate influence modifiers from summoning the diet expire. And one other person also had a crash at the day when that happend which also didn't happen for me. Maybe it is because I use Linux. If you have Linux somewhere you could try if you could continue the game in Linux.

Or maybe some windows user can try that save game and see if it crashes for them.

The crash happens 30th-1st. Interesting with the estate influence modifier expiring, it looks like that's it, I'll check that out. I'm not experienced with Linux but I'll research it.

Thank you for checking out the game file I really appreciate it. If someone has Windows please also check it out. I'm on a Mac : /

It sucks that I'm achievement hunting and the game is on ironman. If it wasn't I would just go into the games files and edit that modifier out.

I'm on windows and was able to continue past that date just fine.

@fateofmorality maybe you can check out one of the save games from this thread. For the user that created that thread, they crash on the date that the diet modifiers expired. If they also crash for you, maybe you can find out what you have in common. Maybe it is the OS or maybe it is something else entirely.

@L_homme_sans_qualités I linked your thread here, because it seems that there is another user who has a similar problem. Maybe you can check out the Aragon save game from the top post to see if it also crashes for you.

Could you send me that save at August? Maybe it would work after getting past the July hurdle.

I'm checking out this thread now. Thank you!

It works! But the achievements no longer work...

At least I can keep playing for run but no Consulate of the Sea.

Yeah, you can see on @thetrue7man SS that achievements were disabled. I guess the save game recognizes the system information is different and blocked achievs

Thanks, I'll check out the file to see if it crashes for me too. What seems strange to me is that I have had plenty other games where diet influence would decrease, but it only crashed in my Mzab games, 11 November 1464, so something else seems to interact.

Anyway, I'll tell you how it goes on my computer. @fateofmorality if you could check my save file as well, maybe we can hope to fix the bug we share.

Just checked your file. It is crashing on the same date as well. Are you using Mac OS? That's what I'm using.

It seems the estates influencing ending modifier with Mac may cause the game to crash...

Maybe extract the file and check if the meta file content is the same as the one sent from thetrue7man user... I don't know if zipping the file is enough though..

 

[L_homme_sans_qualités]

Your save file also crashes for me. I am also using Mac OS.

@fateofmorality and @L_homme_sans_qualités : A post on reddit reminded me of your problem and I had a look at your save files again. All the save files have the "Enforced Unity of Faith" estate privilege active which also runs out on the same day as the estate influence modifiers. And another user in the comments to that post tested this and seems to confirm that the privilege is responsible for the crash. That user also uses macOS. To confirm that it is the privilege and not the estate influence modifiers, you can do the following test:

1. start a new game non-ironman game as a country that has provinces of a different religion(e.g. Portugal, Aq Qoyunlu, Mzab or Delhi) and immediately save the game
2. active the clergy/ulema privilege "Enforced Unity of Faith" and nothing else
3. use the console command date 1464.10.31 to forward the date to 1464
4. let the game run and see if it crashes on 10/11th of November
5. load the save game again
6. summon a diet, but don't give the privilege
7. use the console command date 1464.10.31 to forward the date to 1464
8. let the game run and see if it crashes on 10/11th of November now

If the crash is from the privilege, you could avoid it by not using the privilege. Loading the save game and continuing over that date on a computer with a different OS might also help.

I seem to be having the same problem. My Mughals game crashes on the date that the "Enforced Unity of Faith" privilege becomes revokable.
