Ironman crashes, corrupt savegame?

[hostum]

I've encountered a problem with one of my ironman savegames.
With respect to this particular save, lately the game has crashed every couple of in-game months.
Now the game crashes every time on the very first tick after I load.
It still happens if I play on another computer. Drivers should be up to date on both systems.
I've also done a clean reinstall, to no avail.


I haven't experienced any crashes with my other savegames, but I'm a bit reluctant to invest time in another playthrough out of fear that this problem might occur again.
Seeing as this is my favorite savegame so far, I would greatly appreciate any advice which might salvage it.

Well we don't really have a way of uncorrupting bad game files - Ironman saves are encrypted. You could post a link to the local version of the game file here (see sticky File Locations thread above) and we could see if it crashes here too, but given you've already effectively tried that there's probably not a lot of point.

Was there anything that seemed to trigger this, like an event in the game or a PC crash or anything like that?

Thanks for taking the time to reply

As far as I can see the crash doesn't seem to be related with a specific event.
However, the game did not crash on the first tick when I tried it just now. Could actually play for more than a year before CTD.

Here is the local copy of mye savegame:

I was able to reproduce that crash in both my 1.3.2 and beta test version of the next path, so a definite game bug. On a Mac you get a useful crash log that shows 512 identical CalculateCallToArmsAcceptance lines, so there's a loop in the code, no doubt. Perhaps if you can get out of all wars you are in before the crash happens, you may be able to continue? I don't know.

Thanks for the report, and sorry that you've lost that game.
