Save game crash during AI turn

[clinton]

The attached save game crashes upon clicking end turn, during or after Mongolia's turn. I am running Civ on linux using Wine, so I'm not sure if this is a bug or just a wine related issue.

If someone successfully plays til the next turn using the next save if you can attach the save of the start of the next turn that would be much appreciated. Alternatively, if others are getting the same bug, if someone finds a workaround/knows a patch that would be appreciated.

I believe I'm running the latest patch of G&K, as I think Steam automatically patches the game.

Didn't crash on me (running Windows 7). Here's the save file from the next turn.

Thanks Petek

Loading the save game is crashing for me as well, I'm getting the error:

Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x000000dc in 32-bit code (0x7848506e).
Backtrace:

It looks like the Visual-C++ string allocator is seg-faulting, probably a wine issue. I'll try another wine version. Thanks for your help.

Found a bug similar to mine reported at WineHQ.

The workaround of "going to DLC and unselecting G&K then reselecting G&K" worked for me.

 

[Petek]

Thanks for posting the workaround.

Hello,

I seem to suffer from the same problem as the original poster. I am also running Civ5 GK with Wine and get a similar backtrace after the program crashes during Player 11's turn. clinton's game crashes on my machine too.

Might somebody very kindly try to see if this game can progress to the next turn on her or his machine ?

This would enable me to continue afterwards, and might also help people understand what is happening here by comparing the situations of the two games.

Your game also crashed for me running Windows 7. I then applied the workaround mentioned in the prior post: Start the game, deselect G&K from the DLC menu, and then immediately reselect G&K. The game then progressed to the next turn. Did you try that?

Anyway, here's the save file from the following turn.

Thank you very much for your help. That my game crashes on your system indicates that we are confronted with two different bugs (and that mine is not Wine-related !), unless your installation has been updated since last time. Your save at turn 202 loads correctly.

I tried to apply the workaround, but I am probably not doing it right since it is to no avail.

Concretely, I have a DLC ("Contenus téléchargeables") entry in the main menu, which, when clicked on, displays a list of checked items. The first one is G&K and the others are several civilisations. I assume each of these was a separate DLC (I got everything from the Civ5 and G&K DVDs three weeks ago).

What I do is deselecting G&K, then selecting it again and click OK. This does not prevent the crash in my game. I also tried deselecting G&K, click OK, going back to that list again to select G&K and validating. This does not help either.

Anyway, I am keeping these two savefiles, going to try to finish the game and try to see in the replay what happens to player 11 at turn 201.
