Post-Save Crash

[eric_]

So, this may have been mentioned, but search didn't bring anything up:

Sometimes, immediately after I confirm a manual save, the game freezes/crashes and I'm stuck on the game menu until I ctrl+alt+del, hit cancel, and then I see "civ 5 has stopped working" windows dialog with the old dude from the intro movie in the background (?!). I can't recall for sure, but I think this started happening after the new patch (.61), and is unchanged with the more recent hotfix (.62)

Also, my first game after the hotfix treated me to my first in-game crash. I was playing as Hiawatha, and after ending turn 9, kablooie.

I'm guessing the latter isn't really news (in game crashes in any version so far), but the former? Has anyone else experienced this?

Is something of this consistent?
Can you maybe upload some of the faulty savegames?

 

[eric_]

Yes, it's fairly consistent. Probably happens 20% - 30% of the time that I manually save, maybe a little more. More than happy to upload a save game. Will any save from a game where this happened do, or should I upload one that resulted in a crash?

Also, I'd love to know if it's happening to anyone else. If not, I can post my specs.

Actually, my issue occurs immediately post save. So, I open the menu, click "Save Game", click the button to Save, and then I get locked into the menu screen until I ctrl+alt+del.

The game saves successfully when this happens, and the save file will load without issue.

OK, it just happened again, and I think the issue may occur when overwriting an existing save using the same filename. Will report back if it ever occurs after saving with a unique filename.

edit: attached the recent save during which the problem occurred

I can't reproduce the crash. I loaded the file and saved it several times during the current turn, overwriting the current file each time. No problem was detected. I also saved the current game using a file name from a completely different game. Again, no problem. I have no idea why your game crashes. Please post your DxDiag file. Thanks!

Version 1.0.0.621, Deluxe Edition.

Will do later, thanks!

FYI - I have the standard edition.

I saw that bug on every save until upgraded from .62 to .621.
