Average of 5 crashes per hour

Post by Rvlion »

I like the game a lot and have so far enjoyed my nearly 40 hour of gameplay, but I do on average have 5 crashes per hour.
Send all the crash reports of course,
The times were I mostly had crashes:
1. Starting auto-resolve combat.
2. Starting tactical combat.
3. While the AI was having its turn.
4. When loading a specific save game, this one even up to a point that a 500+ turn game with Cor Vilaad were I had completed the campaign and had conquered Vessoi, Icespire, Dragonhold, Palemore, Dunmar, Iron Barony, Aerewode, Riesental, Boruvian Empire, Mardoba and everything in the east (except the Giant nation) failed to load entirely no matter how far I would go back trying to load previous auto-save games.

I know that it is still in early access, but I hope that it has a priority in the future.
Because it can prove quite demotivating to play especially long lasting playthroughs that are suddenly unplayable.

Be sure you send in a crash report with a description of what happened.

Specifically to point 4, a saved game from a previous version of the game will not be compatible, and this may be what you are seeing here. For example, a saved game from EA 1.3 will not be compatible with 1.6.

I always send the crash reports, how else will it be fixed. ;-)

As for that particular save game... The game crashed and less then 5 minutes later I was trying to reload for the first time.
As far as I know I was not playing with an older version. I kept reloading the game using the SCoK Gamemenu that remains open after you load the game.
Only after the reboot of the computer did I start up the game from scratch.

It is sad to lose such a long game, but I will live.
The campaign was done anyway, but never could have finished the game anyway except for conquering the entire mainland.
2 islands would always have remained that I cannot destroy for lack of ships playing as Cor Vilaad and other nations do not destroy capitals (except mine).

Regarding ships: you may not be able to build dedicated warships, but simply moving your units into a harbour will convert them into transport ships (if your realm cannot make warships, your transports will be armed, though only lightly, to defend themselves).

You are indeed correct, it took me a while to again conquer a harbour with Cor Vilaad to verify for myself. A shame I cannot attack ships, but at least the 2 island based capitals are toast. haha.

Now as for my previous point 4...

Right now I was at turn 484 when my game crashed, no big deal really only once again none of the auto-saves are working. Previously I had no self made saves available so I could not attempt those.
The save file that I created myself seem to work, so maybe after a long period of game play the auto-save files get corrupted somehow as to when trying to load them, the game crashes again???

It is a shame that this save game was at turn 447, a lot happened in 40 turns... haha
