Luthor the Sigmar Priest teleports to a Kislevite battle..ruins campaign, causes CTD?

[Waylit]

Hello! It's turn 62 (I think) of a very successful Hochland campaign, and both the Autosave and the Quicksave that I made right before I pressed "end turn" have become corrupted. They cannot be loaded without an unspecified error happening right as the loading bar reaches full. It is the turn where the Chaos Hordes unite.

A turn previous, the Theogonist declared a crusade on the War Boss camp for the second time in this campaign (the first successful many turns earlier). I had an army headed by Luthor and his priests, along with Voland and assorted empire troops near Waldenhof, so I joined them to the crusade right away and began marching through the mountains east. I go to the next turn and while the AI is doing their stuff, it asks me if I want to participate in a battle as the ally of Kislev, defending an Ostlander attack in the north (by the town Zeno something or whatever). (For reference, Averland declared war on the Dwarves in this same turn) Luthor has magically teleported to the north to head up an army of Kislevite troops that are all white, no texture. Luthor is my best general at this point, that's why I think the game chose him.

After I won the victory, Luthor's army was back where it was, but INVISIBLE on the campaign map (only found it by the List feature), and all my badass imperial troops had been turned to white Kislevite ghosts or whatever. BALLS! So I reloaded a previous save, and instead told Luthor to leave the army and stand alone. Same thing happened when I changed turn (except this time Luthor didn't suck a full stack pike/marksmen army into the void lol), and now a magical army had been created, headed by Luthor and next to Voland's army. So what the hell? I march the Phantom Kislevites to war! A turn later I defeat an Orc army in battle with the White Kislevites, no crash. Then I hit next turn, my army is attacked by orcs, and during that battle the computer locks up. Probably just should have disbanded all of the Ghost Kislevites...

Now I cannot load either the Autosave or the Quicksave that was made right before I hit next turn. But I can load a Hochland save from 30 turns ago.

Weird!

So, any way to fix these saves? Or should I just go play Dwarves?


EDIT: CRAP This should be in the Bug Sub-forum. Sorry mods, please move.

If your save corrupted, then there is nothing much to do than load an earlier save or start over again. I've had the same problem before.

The automaticly "Join a battle" system is buggy as what. I never had a "succesful" one as I mostly teleported out of range of the battle and didn't participate, or crashed.

Just decline the next time, there is no penalty for it.

I did decline a second time after reloading a Quicksave from before the battle option was given. All that happened was that I didn't participate in the battle. Luthor's full stack imperial army was still made invisible and turned into Ghost Kislevites with grey-smocked peasants as their icons.

In that case you should create a thread here: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=1387

and upload your log file which is in Medieval II Total War\Logs\ and is named "Warhammer_Logs.txt" I believe.

If they can't find the issue, nobody can.
