    Default Cant Load Saved Game - Crashing

    Hi All

    Got to about 1723 in my first game.

    But now when ever I load the game crashes to desktop, I had several save files for the same place but none work and all cause the crash.

    Ive started a new game but would really like to finish my first one...

    Btw the new saved game file works?

    Any ideas?

    Cheers

    I think it has to do with the type of campaign.

    I had that happen to me when playing a prestige campaign.

    But when I do world domination which is what I always do, I never had that happen.

    There is alot of diffrent types of CTD right now, I guess they came from the latest patch.

    I cant event play my game at the moment because of the crashes.

    Hopefully there wil be a new great patch soon.

    This patch broke alot of things for me. Some save games crash everytime at the first battle and that of course ruins my campaign. Its really hard to get to the end of a campaign for all the wrong reasons.

    I sympathize, my 1789 Maratha campaign auto and quick saves won't load with just a single Grand Canaria province left for total world domination. Last working save is 1780.

    wait... this won;t load and it is on world domination? Are you positive?

    If that's true then I'm starting to think there's something about the computer systems that are some of the problem when mingling with Empire.

    I Made a topic with this info and a damn mod buried it in back of another topic that no one read ....
    Here is your fix .....

    1st here is where your save file is if Vista

    C:\Users\what ever yours is\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly

    You must be able to see "hidden folders" place a short cut on desk top

    1st I am using 12 extra saves and using avg. 4 per turn in case..

    Corrupted file 98% time it happens on end turn "THIS is why you make your own save now"so click end turn then once it starts or

    just wait till turn end if you made "YOUR" OWN Save like I do
    push "Esc" then click load or save and if your king and saves are showing then you are safe ...

    But in my case no matter faction every time it is corrupted it shows as a green & white uniformed king and no writing or saves so delete the

    auto_save.empire_save in your save folder then go back to menu close it and re-open it then you should see your king and saves

    Here is a link to picture of a corrupted save then you'll see difference to your normal save. I was Spain in this one.

    And at the time I had 12 saves in save row + auto_save
