Help with Concert of Europe?

[Red_Galiray]

I'm playing Gran Colombia with Concert of Europe and everything's going good. Gran Colombia still exists I'm a great power and own Cuba and Puerto Rico. I'll declare war on Spain to liberate Republica Domenicana, and then wait for them to apply for statehood. However, the game keeps crashing at 3 March 1827. I doesn't matter how many times I try, or what I do, it crashes just after I unpause the game. Do you have any idea of how to fix this and continue with my play?

 

[KOTSM]

Out of curiosity, have you tried playing the mod as any other country to see if it crashes around the same time?

 

[Red_Galiray]

Yes, multiple times. It doesn't matter wich country it is, the game crashes on 3 March 1827, wheter I'm playing with Gran Colombia, Spain, EEUU, Prussia or Mexico...

What is the last version of the mod? Is it the V1.24? It might be a bug that got corrected later on...

 

[KOTSM]

Yes I believe 1.24 is the latest build (its the version I downloaded anyway). My first guess is that it could perhaps be a bugged event that fires around that time - I always notice on mine that the greek war of independence chain and the 1st Egyptian War stuff can go a wee bit funny somtimes.

I would suggest re-downloading the mod and see if it works then.I've pasted below the download instructions from the mod page just in case that helps -I had a few issues intially on mine by screwing up the cache bit, but i'm not sure if that would be what is causing your CTDs.

Download the archive and extract it to your Victoria II/mod/ folder (in the game's folder, not in your documents). Find the folder PDM_Concert/map/cache/ in the mod files, containing a pre-built map cache, and copy it into the corresponding location in your documents, where V2 keeps saves and settings (deleting any existing map cache folder first). In the V2 launcher, select "PoD Concert of Europe" (and not Pops of Darkness) and play!

Hope this is of some help

 

[Red_Galiray]

Thank you. I'll try that and then tell you if it worked.

I ´ve experienced the exact same problem, game always crashed in February 1827, no matter what. KOTSM is on right way , The crash is caused by chain of events of The Ottoman Empire. Sadly, I have no fix, nor I am not able to do one, however, there is a ´´solution´´, which worked for me. You can either extract the Ottoman_event file completely from PDM_concert/events or you can rewrite the event, so it never happens (the year when it fire). It should let you to continue, but only if you don´t mind not having full Ottoman empire experience in your game , and I can´t guarantee you will be able to play the game to the end, the next chain of events could be bugged as well, but so far I am in 1847 with no crash ... Be aware this could potentially mess up your game, so you really should make backups !!!

Oh and load an autosave from 1827, if you saved your game before the crash, it will keep crashing no matter what you do.

 

[KOTSM]

I had a felling it might have been that event chain, I tend to get a few weird things happening in my playthroughs around that time. I guess we'll just have to wait for the next build

If anything I would actually attempt experimenting by manually firing the events to find the exact one causing the CTD and then try toying around with the event text to see if you can get it to work.

 

[Bejikaj]

It´s this one :

Spoiler

country_event = {
id = 31257
title = "EVTNAME31257" #Greek Rebellion Continues
desc = "EVTDESC31257"
picture = "Rebellion"

trigger = {
tag = TUR
exists = yes
year = 1827
NOT = {
year = 1836
truce_with = GRE
}
}
fire_only_once = yes
mean_time_to_happen = { days = 1

I simply changed the years to like 1810 and end in 1811, so the event never fire ... It´s not ideal but it stopped the annoying CTD´s.

 

[KOTSM]

I supose that could work for now. The event in question to the best of my knowledge only fires if Greece loses the first war against Turkey - doesn't normally happen in my games as I have a soft spot for Greece

Now you know which event it is, that makes it a little easier as all you should really need to do is go through it line by line checking for errors. If that does not work, stick with your first solution or try to re-write the event.

 

[Red_Galiray]

Thank you, I'm going to try re-writing the event. Where can I find it?

 

[Bejikaj]

It´s in PDM_concert/events and it´s the Ottoman_event. But make a backup if anything goes wrong though.

TO KOTSM : That make sense since I as Mexico have little on no interest in Greece at all .

 

[Bejikaj]

Red_Galiray did it work for you ?

 

[Red_Galiray]

Yes, it did work for me. Thank you very much, to both of you. Now I can continue with my play Soryy for not answering earlier, I had something to do.

Actually, the reason of this crash is different. I feel somewhat exhausted after figuring out the enigmatic bug.

The crash occurs the next day Tunisia, the vassal of Ottoman Empire, mobilizes to help pacify Greece again. In "Concert of Europe" Tunisia has 6 army regiments from the start. Hovewer, the manpower is not sufficient for them, only 4 regiments receives troops. So the game ends up with "2.Kroumir" and "3.Kroumir" shadow-accounting units with 0 real manpower. These units doing fine until Tunisian AI decides to mobilize population. The next day after the mobilization game crashes. Obviously, the game will crash not only during Greek uprising times, but under any circumstances when Tunisia mobilizes. All it can be reproduced with AI during second Greek uprising, as well as with player controlling Tunisia at any time.

The solution: go into mod\PDM_concert\history\units\ folder, open TUN_oob.txt file, delete

   regiment = {
     name= "2.Kroumir"
     type = infantry
     home = 1726
   }

   regiment = {
     name= "3.Kroumir"
     type = infantry
     home = 1726
   }

lines.

Does "Concert of Europe" mod still maintained? It seems that there is no version past 1.24. I mean, where should I go to report about that crash source?

If you were registered and had a look in the thread you would know that @GeneralVonGelre seems to do so.

The game crashes when I click the "Decisions" button while playing as the Congress Poland. What should I do to fix it?

Better ask in one of the threads for it i suppose, depending on which version you got:
(original) https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...rope-a-timeline-extension-mod-for-pod.776998/
(current for 3.04) https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...rt-of-europe-revival-project-3-04-pdm.960274/

You're using an old version that's not compatible with 3.04. Download the latest one. (Did you post this on reddit, too? I gave the same answer there!)

Also, there's a modding subforum and a PDM subforum within that where you can find the link and where you could ask if you still have problems.
