Opening Tech page crashes game

[makucken]

Reached Civil Tech4 and opening the Tech page constantly crashes the game.
Just like described here:
forum/index.php?threads/game-crashes-every-time-i-reach-tech-level-5.1318448/
forum/index.php?threads/i-r-tech-problem-with-amorika-and-eburonien.1297752/
it seemed to me that I got 4 possible inventions instead of 3.
Reinstalled and deleted every file, but still same problem.
See attached Log Files
Here is the content of the exception.txt:

Those errors look bad, I have to agree, and look like a corrupt install to me.

You mention having done a reinstall, bit In particular you need to make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam Imperator or Documents Imperator locations, before installing again.

 

[makucken]

I had reinstalled twice and deleted these folders in the second try before install.
I had never installed any mods or edited files there by myself.
Because of this and as other forum members seem to have the same or a similar problem, I cannot see this as a corrupt install.

Attached I provide you with the savegame file. So maybe you could check for yourself?

 

[AndrewT]

I would have thought we'd see more reports of this if it happened to everyone. Odd.

In any case, please make a new thread in Bug Reports and attach that save there, and links to those other threads too.

Meanwhile I'll mention this backstage, see what they think.

 

[makucken]

As requested I opened a new Bug Report here for further investigation:
forum/index.php?threads/i-r-opening-tech-page-crashes-game.1321884/

Thanx.

 

[AndrewT]

This now appears to be a localisation issue; the devs could see it under German but not English.

Workaround suggestion for now: Switch to English localisation, load save, research the problematic invention (seems to be Tallow Soap), save & exit, switch back to language of choice.

Sorry about that!
