Game Crashes - Cannot get past certain turns.
Posted: Sat Apr 26, 2014 11:39 pm
Hi guys.
I've been playing this game since day one (and prior with ToW, etc), and have been experiencing the following problem the entire time.
What happens is I will start a game, get anywhere from fifty to hundreds of turns in to the game, and then *poof* I get a CTD during turn processing. Reloading the autosave will not correct the problem. The game will load, but it will still crash after I press end turn. I typically keep two main saves for each game, as well as the odd catch-all save called TEMP. I can reload a save from a turn or so earlier, and go through a turn or so, but when I catch up back to that point, the game crashes again.
I remember rebooting, trying multiple saves, trying to change what moves I did when I managed to go back a couple of turns, nothing.
The only thing I *DO* recall is that one summer I took the game on my laptop when i was camping for 10 days - game died on day 7 and could not be continued - grrrrrr. The following year, I went to start another game while camping again, and NOW the old save worked for some reason - but after a year, I didn't want to play that game any longer, so started fresh. Guess what? 'X' many turns in to the new game, it crashed, and I couldn't get it going again...
So here I am at home, on a brand new PC, and decide to play again. Playing Russia, about 60 turns in, and crash. I have a few saves - I can go back a turn or two prior to the crash and that turn will process fine - but then I get to the 'spot', the game crashes, every time, every save.
I am going to gather a bit more data and prepare the saves in a zip file. AFTER that, as I desperately need my grognard fix this weekend, I am going to do a clean reinstall with the beta patch, save EVERY turn, and play again 'til the game dies. (Should provide some good data hopefully).
