Unspecified error

[tefras14]

Hello everyone who read this post. I am playing as the Byzantine empire and i am at turn 51. But each time i try to end the turn the game crushes and i get the Unspecified error message and a black window that i have to use the taskbar to close. I tried restarting my system or making a few changes on the map like moving a few agents around but every time i cant end my turn. Does that mean that my campaign has met its end? I haven't changed anything in the options since the last time i played. I am playing the 6.3 version of Stainless steel with no submods

What does your log say? It's system.log.txt in M2TW/mods/SS6.3.

Looks like some files are missing. Try installing SS again. Backup your saved game if you want to continue it. It's in SS6.3\saves folder.

It was a known bug which has been fixed long time ago and is actually save game compatible. Please read this to solve it.

Actually that's not the case. The things that matter in the log are always flagged as [error] or anything worth checking out is [warning]. Anything else can be simply ignored.

That fixed it. Thanks a lot. I was afraid my carefully constructed empire would disappear

There was a bug that caused a CTD on turn 51 on SS 6.3. Don't remember the details though.
I'd check the Bug Report sub-forum and check if you can dig out a solution. There should be a fix around somewhere.
Or you could update to 6.4
