How do you "hot seat"?

[antirelic]

So I am having an "unspecified error" that is crashing my game around turn 200. My turn goes all the way till the independents and then there is a crash. I looked at the logs, but nothing there.

All the advice says on the forums here is to "hot seat" and "hot seat if you know how". Very little along the ways of explaining how.

Please help me. I am on the verge of extinguishing the flames of Sicily for 2 consecutive betrayals in the holy lands.

I think you should start in hot seat mode then press ~ and open console .
then type control slaves
When you would get to independents check who cause problem it probably unnamed captain or agent .When you get over CTD and start your real faction save again leave game and start normal TLR
You might check thread below too about hot seat
I also wonder why some pro could not give real explanations for hot seat
Good luck

if that doesn't work start in hot seat mode and than just try to advance the turn a few times. It might CTD a few times but will eventually get past the faction who is causing it to CTD. I think it has something to do with a character name who gets a specific trait that makes it crash. Since these traits are randomly generated each time you start the save game, sometimes the offending character doesn't get the trait.

I have been able to get "hot seat" working for a new game, but not for an already existing single player game. Is there something that I'm doing wrong?

- I use the Long_Road_Hotseat.cfg that came with the mod and start up the game,
- load my save game that was failing
- go into console via ~
- type in "control slave"

Then nothing happen...

Did you end the turn?
Try control france or england
