Stainless steel CTD

**Thewhithehand** · May 13, 2011, 08:42 AM

Hello,
me and two friends are playing a hotseat campaign in stainless steel 6.0. At a certain point when I (as the Order of the Knights Templar end my turn we get a crash to the desktop when it is the Cuman Khanate's turn. Could anyone help us out so that we can continue our quest to conquer the know world?

If anyone, who could help us out, needs more info please post it

I've added the game log:

Remove the triggers for kingmaker ancillary, do a forum search here with "kingmaker" if you need more detailed instructions. That should fix it.

thanks, however, when I tried it it still didn't work. Is there anything else it could try?
I already swapped my export_descr_ancillaries for the one I found on one of the forums. I could add the saved game if you would like to take a look at it?

Savegame wouldn't help, hardly no-one has 6.0 installed anymore. Attach your full log and if necessary reverse any personal modifications you did, as I have no idea where those Building DB errors should originate from.

**Thewhithehand** · May 14, 2011, 08:18 AM

Added the entire sytemlog. The only modification I did was decreasing the building time by 1 turn for all buildings. If i reset those, the saved game will be unable to load, right?

**Thewhithehand** · May 17, 2011, 02:17 AM

is there any hope of fixing it?

No, the change would be savegame compatible unless you activated the integrity check in hotseat options.

You can always try to kill of the Cuman Khanate with surrender_regions. Unless they are vital to your campaig or use "follow ai movement" and the reveal map cheat "toggle_fow" to identify the last action of the AI before the crash. Often campaigns can be saved by simply preventing that action.

I'm not able to use any cheats: it says it is disabled during hotseat. When I tried attacking them I got an other weird error in my log:

have u got any idea what this means? or perhaps how to enable cheats in hotseat?

If they are off they stay off, afaik.

have a look at

suggests kingdoms 1.5 might cause issue here, no idea.
