Please help: CTD on spesific date

[Alech]

Hi I need some help.

I'm doing a full "Let's play" and I've managed to play up to May 1229, and it's resulted in about 50 hours of video so far. And that's great, but...

Now the game CTD's every time it gets to the end of may. It was playing fine until a few years ago when it started CTD'ing every time my ruler died. Then I think I traced it to a problem with the heir. I removed his excommunicated and depressed trait and all seemed fine. Now though, there is no indication that my present heir is problematic (it tried changing him to no avail) or that my ruler is about to die...

So now the game crashes every single time I hit the end of may, and I'm at a loss.

I'm using three mods, and that might complicate matters, but after 150 years of smooth sailing I kind of doubt that's the issue.

Can anybody help me troubleshoot this?

The mods I'm using and the save game can be downloaded here:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There are two crash issues in vanilla 1.092: one relating to autosaves, which doesn't sound like your issue, and one relating to retinues attached to a republic patrician who dies without heir - that could perhaps be your problem? We don't have a fix our workaround for you, but you might ask for help in the User Mods forum.

After doing some reading (after posting my issue) it seems the retinue bug might be the cause... Would playing as the patrician in question and disbanding the retinue before he dies help?

Edit: Ah, I found the guy. An old heir-less (is that a waord?) patrician who was about be assassinated, had a standing army of 500 men. Disbanded them and the game moves on. Gah, Now I need to make sure I all the patricians in the game are married at a young age. Argh...

normally they take care of that themselves

 

[Alech]

Yeah, normally. But when you create 3 of them from scratch there are 18 30-somethings who need a partner fast. The odds of one of them having all girls or no kids that grow up are surprisingly big...

This helped me solve my issue too. There was an incapable old patrician with no heir in an obscure one county republic and I had to disband his 500-man retinue. Did the trick, game carried on.
