Savegame crashes on load

[Mantees]

Hello, I am having a problem with my savegame. I cannot reload it anymore or the game will crash.
No need to press Next Turn. The game just crashes during the loading, and the autosave performed at the same turn crashes as well

Are you using a mod or just the standard game ? I have the same problems with my savegames once they crash. I'm also using a mod / map.

 

[Mantees]

I have not installed any mods

I am using the standard game and my game also crashes whenever I try to load a previously saved game.

I'm having the same issue (no mods) with save games not loading. Well really its just one save game not loading... it happens to be a good game and I was doing very well!

 

[JohnnyPotPie]

So I guess in order to play this game I have to leave the game running until the game is finished... what a joke... back to civ4

Now I cant start a new game...

I don't have a general problem with savegames, I have a problem with this specific savegame.

I tried also to play an autosave of 10 turns before and played it for a bit, and this also crashed after playing for more 10 turns

me too. Since I have been moved to version 20 I have this issue. Quicksave & quickload don't work either. Last night I reinstalled, but Steam automatically upgrades to version 20. Before version 20 I didn't have the issue. Starting with directX 9 or 11 don't make a difference either. I will stop playing for now. Without possibility to re-load a game only by exiting the game and doing a restart makes no fun. Also when I w/o thinking push the quicksave button I crash. Can we please get an upgrade soon!!!!

extra note: When I do a quicksave via the ESC menu, game doesn't crash. It'll take a long pause, but then returns. W/o quick saving game!

So, starting new game, and then loading a savegame works. But then ingame, reloading savegames make game crash. Before patch 20 game was working ok.

I have the same problem ONLY with mods; tried the re-install and deleting the files; any other way or fix?

 

[Mantees]

Did anyone tried my savegame? Does it work for people who never experienced any crash?

 

[Ripped]

x64?

unless i am mistaken, all of us on x64 cannot load modded saves.

 

[Mantees]

not me. I have a 32 bit architecture and don't use any mod

Hello. I confirmed that Mantees' file "Mauro" causes the game to crash with a runtime error when trying to load it using 1.0.0.621

Secondly, since installing 1.0.0.621 I have had the game crash on trying to load savegames, too. Attached is a savegame from turn 253 (vanilla Civ5, no mods) that I started using 1.0.0.621 and that crashes on load. An earlier savegame from around turn 166 loads fine.

For me it crashes just when it seems to be done loading and preparing to show the map.

I got hit by this last night as well. First game I have played on a map larger than standard and at turn 220 it crashed with the save files doing exactly the same.

Knowing from past experience where the game would crash all the time I then loaded Civ5, changed all video settings except screen resolution the lowest possible and that let me load the save file and play as normal.

I have done a little experimenting and it seems the texture setting made the difference for me. When set to highest possible I can't play and with the lowest I can and maybe this will work for the rest of you also. On my setup the first and last video setting is set to the lowest possible but that first setting is something I needed to play Civ5 at all so it may of no relevance in this case. (Note - I'm at work right now so that is why I can't say exactly what the options are called).

UPDATE: Turns out turning down the texture setting only helped so much. I still get crashes in the same game only now it's once every 20-30 turns.


PS. I have seen a thread somewhere reporting crash problems if one get's to have 60 cities or perhaps just 60 cities in once trade network.

These problems with crashes have become common. They might have been caused by the 1.0.0.62 patch. I've read on the 2K Games forum that they are working to fix the problem. BTW, the problem with 70 cities causing a crash was supposed to have been fixed, but I can't recall if that has been confirmed.
