CTD when trying to take over Hungarian merchant

[Asharak]

I get a CTD when I try to take over the hungarian merchant in the attached savegame. He is just north of my merchant near Venice.

Which SS version / submods do you use ? In case of SS6.4, did you try the Bugfix compilation ?

I guess the animation of the "takeover" crashes your game, sometimes this is caused by faulty GPU driver. I did experience this myself once, a clean install of the driver solved that for me.
