Save game crashes ingame

[Andraline]

Hi there,

After the new patch I gained a problem with a savegame which I had been playing with the last few days. When loading the game an pop-up mentioned it is a older version save game, saving it and loading it again would help the troubleshoot. Of coure I followed the advice. I was able to play for several (around 4) months and the game crashed to desktop. Rebooted the computer and restarted EU4. Loaded the savegame without difficulties. I pressed play and unfortunately when one day passed, the game crashed again. Tried it multiple times now but without result. New games are playable, including the newer saves. Is there a way to solve this issue or will my savegame be lost forever?:sad:

Thanks in advance,

Andraline

Frankly, my best advice would be to revery to 1.7.3 (Steam-eu4-beta tab) and finish the game from just before you converted it. Compatibility across major patches is a goal, but can never be 100%, especially with the huge map changes this time.

Thank you AndrewT for your response. I have looked into my beta tab but unfortunately I had to discover I can not select any betas. It states "NONE - Opt out of all beta programs". I guess I just have to start again with the new patch.

Click on that NONE - it's a drop-list. 1.7.3 will be there as a choice.

This will sound stupid, but I tried that. I just tried again and found out that you can only do it when the game isn't launched yet, my bad. Was able to select that beta but all saves I tried playing with in the new patch are now corrupted and unplayable. Thanks for your help, new thing learned for next time
