SS6.4: CTD at turn 9 after taken Aberdeen

[siciliansilly]

Hi guys

-I was playing Norway Early Era VH/VH with BGRIV-E, gracul AI(if that's the one the AI goes all out), disabled RR, no permanent arrow tower or other submods.
The game always crash after I choose what to do with the newly-conquered settlement (Aberdeen). Doesn't matter what I do sack occupy or exterminate the game goes bing and freezes. I can still move the mouse but nothing is responsive. If I press esc then I get a CTD with an error box that disappear in a blink before the desktop is fully vi. In a quick glance I think it has ++, runtime error or smt like that. I have tried to reload and go round it but no matter what I do (auto-resolve manual with or without night attack) the same thing happens. Also I've taken Inverness and Edinburgh previously so Aberdeen might have been Scotland last settlement and it has only the king garrisoned.
-The log has only 1 line: 18:27:08.475 [system.rpt] [always] CPU: SSE2
-I'm running win 8.1 pro 64-bit. I think I've installed it precisely (really turn off UAC from reg, install everything in D drive in the right order including directx plus its update for win 8 and install the 1.1 bugfix compilation along with those unreleased in the addendum.) Everything seems great before the CTD. Vanilla and Kingdoms run fine also.

Apparently I have't read about anything similar although the log line did appear for some people in this forum.

Please look into this. I attach the save file here. Maybe the highland is cursed and those will-o'-the-wisps are still hovering around my mushroom-indulging Norse troops up to this day in the virtual world... 1.zip

Good day.

Unfortunately I'm not able to analyze save files, but I did run into a similar experience and got through it via the console.

The context was that I'm Late Era England, having just won an offensive siege battle versus. Scotland's Aberdeen. The game was at turn 10, and as it happened to be Scotland's last settlement, there were also events popping up for Faction Destroyed and King of Scotland Dies (I'm uncertain whether the same applied to you). Clicking the Occupy button resulted in an immediate CTD. I saw a similar thread on the site and tried both to auto-resolve the battle and Occupy instead, and to use console commands. Auto-resolving did not help, but with the console command "surrender_regions scotland" I managed to attack the now empty rebel settlement of Aberdeen and click Occupy without any sort of crash occurring. Hope this helps.
