Yeah, the CTDs are for the most part caused by 1.092. PB does have a single persistent CTD issue that I know of, but that one happens roughly once every 300 years as compared to the game being virtually unplayable after year 1200 in 1.092.
I've heard clean installs (which verifying integrity is somewhat similar) does help, but far from eliminates it.
Yeah, I'm a bit disappointed.
In other news:
Project Balance: Shattered Balance is now mostly finished.
If anyone wants to playtest it before the proper release on Sunday, you can download it here.
Should work with any mod compatible with Project Balance.
All suggestions and feedback is welcome.
The campaign start goes like this:
1. Campaign starts. Everything shatters. Still paused.
2. You get asked if you want special CBs making conquest easier.
3. You get asked if you want to keep merchant republics around.
4. You get asked if you want everything to be Feudal. If you decided to keep the merchant republics around they won't become Feudal, but everything else will.
5. You unpause. A day later you get an event asking if you want Lucky AIs (3 AI rulers start with extra gold, prestige, piety, and army) and if you yourself want those benefits
6. A day later you get asked if you want another 3 lucky AI rulers. This repeats until you hit no, so you can have as many as you want.
The picture above was with every option mentioned above on, though only 3 lucky AI rulers; Northumbria, Lietuva, and Granada. The military AI for Northumbria bugged out for two decades so it never really got anywhere, but Lietuva has done very well for itself.
Not much I can do about the infidels, no.
As to it being hilarious, it is indeed:
Bosnia big, and Bosnia pecheneg.
It'll have a lot less flavor, but at least the days will go by much faster
As a general rule you should ensure your heir has high diplomacy and decent traits, and has ruled over at least part of your realm for as long as possible.
I'm not seeing that much instability in my test games. The HRE often loses (parts of) Italy, but it sometimes manages to keep ahold of it. The other realms are quite stable, except the Byzantines, but the Byzantines had tons of civil wars historically.
The king bonus is multiplicative, you you don't get 1+3+1, just 3+1. This is unchanged from vanilla.
The "reduced the demesne bonus" means that Gavelkind gives a 20% higher limit, not 30%. So if your limit is naturally 10, Gavelkind will take it to 12 not 13.
It has got to do with how decadence is calculated based on title rank and realm size. It scales linearly so the Seljuks are hit very hard.
You should use the generator with the combination of PB, PB+SWMH, and SWMH. Sadly, SWMH makes the generator crash for me at least so that's currently not possible.
Limited or higher. Though those bits of the changelog are a bit outdated.
Make sure you meet every relevant requirement for declaring holy war, both "base" and anything else that applies to your target.
I assume you've done the steps necessary for CORE to work with SWMH? If not that could cause issues.
And for Culturally Different Cities I hope you're using the "+compatible" version, or you might get some issues as well. Reminds me to add that to the list of compatible mods.
Another optional feature in Shattered Balance; immortals:
It turns every single ruler immortal and gives +6 to all stats, but kills all non-ruler dynasty members and makes them infertile. So if you die in battle, an accident, a plot, or whatever it is all over unless you're one of the few characters with other landed dynasty members.

Sounds like a vanilla thing.
There's three:
Conquest: You can conquer any one or two-province ruler you border, providing you've got less than 4 counties total. If he borders your capital you only need less than 8.
Subjugation: You can vassalize any count you border, regardless of how big he is.
Subjugation of dukes: You can vassalize any duke you border as long as he's got less than 20 holdings in his realm (usually that's 4 to 7 counties).
Report it to the SWMH team then.
You can play the pre-release version already: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?e1p4e161dip3ibo
Right, make sure you've downloaded SWMH separately from PB.
And make sure you've got the swmh2615.mod file from the PB download, not the SWMH download.
I'm afraid I'm not sure what's gone wrong.
However, don't despair. Aaasmul just confirmed that SWMH will have a new version later today, and Project Balance will be updated at 2000 GMT+2 (in a bit under 5 hours).
The SWMH release will essentially resolve the two most common mistakes people make when trying to use PB+SWMH, and hopefully it'll fix your issue as well.
I'll be making some changes to defines.lua yes. I do that pretty often
Re-added to the list of compatible mods.
In fact, here's the entire changelog for 3.1.20:
- The Elective Succession faction now requires that the realm have no crown laws except at most low crown levies (previously it only required no King's Peace. Vassals should only be able to force Elective in highly decentralized realms
- It is no longer possible to enact Free Infidel Revokation, Complete King's/Emperor's Peace, No External Inheritance, or High/Maximum Crown Levies when using Feudal Elective succession. If you've got any of those laws you cannot adopt Feudal Elective succession
- Implemented vanilla's distance restriction on holy war (can't declare holy war if the target is more than two seazones away
- A few restrictions on dejure claims no longer affect players, only the AI
- Fixed the Tribal Raid CB applying an absolute reduction in holding income rather than a relative one
- Slowed down culture conversion by about 20%
- The Normans now start with generals for their armies in the Norman-Byzantine war
- The Norman Conquest of the Balkans now targets the dejure kingdom of Epirus, making the AI less stupid about what counties it besieges
- The AI now won't assault holdings unless it outnumbers the garrisons 10:1 (from 8:1)
- Implemented the Catholics Can Unite the Schism mini-mod (http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?672204)
- Halved the opinion bonus from Sayyid and Hajajj
- The Long Reign opinion bonus now starts after 20 years
- Gave the Fatimid Sultan a few starting traits (content, humble, and slothful) based on how he dealt with the Fatimid famine and civil war
- Increased the size of the unreinforcable army the Rum Sultanate gets upon its formation to 8000 men
- Turkish culture now spreads half as quickly to coastal provinces, and thrice as quickly to inland provinces. Turks can no longer spread culture via ports
- Rum no longer gets the Tribal Invasion CB against Byzantium; the events should be enough
- Added an event following the formation of Rum that causes the Bulgarian Empire to become a dejure title consisting of Bulgaria and Serbia. It also adds severe negative modifiers to non-Greek provinces in the Byzantine Empire unless the Byzantine Emperor chooses to give them increased autonomy, handing over all titles held by non-Bulgarians in the Bulgarian Empire to a Bulgarian who becomes king of Bulgaria while remaining a vassal
