Patch 2.1.5.4 (?) - Game is crashing when watching character screens

[ThomasH]

Since the Beta patch (but maybe earlier) i notice that the game crashes always when i view specific characters.


For example when i start in the 1081 scenario and watch the (edit) MOTHER of Ekbert II of Meißen - (that means click on her) - the game crashes
(When i watch the same character in the 1066 scenario the game DOES NOT crash)

The same happens when i view some italian Kings :
(1066 scenario)

The game crashes immediately when i watch the following characters (more i did not test - but i have the feeling it happens often)

King Hugues of Italia
King Berengario II of Italia
King Adalberto II of Italia


And of course i play without mods - checksum is IWDX

I had the same happen to me in the 2.1.5.4 beta. Watching the family tree then bringing up the character screen immediately causes a crash for me.

Same here. Loaded a 2.1.5.3 save, clicked around a bit while on pause and CtD.

Voy and smeggy, is this also when clicking the mother of Ekbert or is it another scenario?

Dead people's character view through the dynasty tree. I got reproducible crashes whilst scrolling through the dead Da Romano dynasty in Italy (county of verona). It also happen to other dynasties so it shouldn't be dependent on that just that they're dead and you go from the dynasty tree to the character view by rightclicking the dead dynasts portraits.

EDIT: It's actually very simple to reproduce.

Select any dynasty with dead members. Whilst still having the dynasty tree up, select any dead member and open their character screen. Then hover close to the dynasty shield that opens up the dynasty tree. This will make it CTD.

Somethinig else, I think I was the Capets family dialog.

*edit* oh seems Voy has a more useful post

Correction on my behalf. It only seem to affect dead Catholics and maybe their heresies. Other religions don't crash form me.

The religion of the character you play doesn't matter, it's the character who's character screen crashes in.

EDIT:

And you don't need to have the dynasty tree up, it's only dead catholic's character screens when hovering over the dynasty button or around there. Don't know the cause, but might be a trouble with the interface then.

After some testing we were able to catch this CTD. So it should be fixed in a future update. Cheers for the feedback.
