I dont think there is a solution. You probably have a corrupted save game.

i've encounter this and now i play with 2 saves...first save is from 2 turns ago and second one is from this turn...in case your first save get corrupted u can play with the other one...2 turns isn't a so long time

Even though the mod is very stable in this release I noticed that corrupted games tend to happen more frequently in CoW than in other mods. Does anybody know why?

I think I remember Gig saying it is caused by the scripted battles that happen at the begin of your turn(or begin of next turn)...So if you save and try to load after that it will be corrupted for whatever reason...

Thanks for the info. This is bad. This is a hard thing to avoid. I mean how am I supposed to know if there is any scripted siege battle happening in some place on the map.

After playing a decent amount of Empire factions and High Elfs for this update I personally never ran into any save problems until the Chaos Undivided stacks come into play (around the late 60's or 70's in turns I think)

What I did to avoid these problems is simply keep playing from turn 70ish to 80ish without loading or stopping play. I think by 80's in turns you should be ok...Not a great way to avoid these problems as sometimes you will of course have to fight some battles depending on what faction you are...and if you crash...

It has to be a particular scripted event. and possibly one that is predetermined and not random.

**Valiant Champion** · April 04, 2012, 08:26 PM

that means autoresolve battles i suppose

If you autoresolve all of your battles during the invasion you'll get slaughtered.

absolutely TRUE

Does this happen only between turn 70 and 80?

I play with 5 savegames and they are all broken... before that I had a crash during battle

Not saving the game for 10 turns is ok in my eyes... I want to be sure about that before I try a third time!

Like I said I personally never had any issues with saved games crashing prior to the "huge stacks of chaos spawns" which happens around the 70's and into the 80's. However I mostly only play good factions such as the Empire ones and the High Elfs...not sure if there could be issues with other factions prior to turn 70's and what not cause of this...

Like I said the best advice is to simply play through the 70's and early 80's without loading...(you can save but most likely they will be corrupt so there is little point until the early 80's or mid...) If your towns are in danger I would either suggest autoresolve (which of course you will be destroyed unless you have tons of stacks helping you) or to let them take your towns and then take them back in a few turns if your felling lucky or wait till the early 80's in turns or mid...Not much else you can do really...

I wonder if you can switch and change the campaign script files so that you can get through the turns in question and than change back so the rest of the script can play out?

Isn't this how the problem was improvised through before when call of warhammer first came out?
