CTD in Late Campaign

**TWFanatic** · June 30, 2008, 04:11 PM

Hello,

In my current late era campaign it is about 1250 and I get a CTD every time I end turn (while the computer is doing its turns). I found this rather odd as everything was working fine until now. I would really appreciate if someone could tell me what is wrong so I could fix it. I'm not sure if it matters, but the CTD always happens while Venice is taking its turn. Anyway, here is the error message, I have no clue what it means:

I would really apprecaite if someone could help me. I cannot play SS until this is fixed.

I am suffering from withdrawl. I may switch to another mod if I don't figure out what the problem is. I can't stand to play mods that crash in mid-campaign.

Well, untill someone more competent replies..

I guess best thing to do would be to just reinstall the whole thing!

**Gorrrrrn** · July 01, 2008, 11:11 AM

Can't see an obvious cause for the CTD.

I'd recommend re-installing 6.0 and 6.1 and then the quark traits patch that can be found here in case it's a traits bug (do read the full first post in thread as it contains info on how to fix the pirates cash bug)

(oh and the revised traits are not save game compatible.)

OK, I'll reinstall then. However, I won't install the traits patch as I assume it will overwrite Byg's GR and I want to continue my campaign after I reinstall.

I'll report back tonight with results. Thanks for the help.

I reinstalled and still get the same CTD. Please, if anyone has any idea of what could be wrong, help!

Guess I'm back to vanilla Medieval TW.

Just a couple of quick thoughts/questions.

What faction are you playing?

Does the crash happen at the same point with any other faction?

If you reload from a save a couple of turns earlier and change some things, does the crash still occur?

If the answer to #2 is "yes", then it sounds like a possible event bug. Have you made any changes to the historical events or to the events included in the campaign script?

If the answer to #2 is "no", then it sounds like potentially a name bug. Were you recruiting a character that turn? It can also happen if a character is born for which the name cannot be generated or is invalid.

The second scenario can be a real bear to track down and can sometimes be overcome by going back a couple of turns and replaying from there.

Hope that helps. I know how frustrating "mystery crashes" can be. Unfortunately the logging in the game is almost completely unhelpful in resolving these types of issues. You'd think that every game company would employ at least one experienced sysadmin (which is what I do for a living) to instruct them on how meaningful logging and useful error messages should be done.
