Game breaking bug.

Scarredclown · 03-30-15, 04:38 PM

Loading a saved game is really a pain in the ... I try all the tricks available and to no result. I must try at least 4 time each time i want to load a saved game. I'll keep looking on this forum for the trick that might work for me but i dont think i will continue to play for very long if it keep crashing like that.

Subsim save games are tricky, this is because of a stock bug.

the following rules should be adhered to:

1. Avoid saving the game if you are located within 50KM of land
2. Avoid saving the game if you are within 50KM of a ship you have sunk
3. never save the game if you are submerged
4. Never save the game if you are within 50KM of any ship

and no matter what you do...

5. Never, ever feed your save game after midnight

failure to follow these rules results in a number of gremlins - some of which can cause the loading process to crash the game.

well that's an informative post full of information so we can help with the problem.

GoldenRivet stated the basic 'rules' that are tried and true.
OP failed to state mods, save conditions, etc.

Yep i think my last saved game was not in the 50 km of a sunk ship. How can you be sure of the 50 km near any ships ? We cant detect ship that far !?

List all mods you have installed.
There are some known and proven to cause CTD or failed save loads.

I only have GWX gold. No other mod. I think i'll try a new career again. its the second game i start because of failed saves. its kind of of a disapointment when you have a great start in a new career to lose all that you have done to a bug.

Crashes usually come when trying to load at sea. Don't your previous saves made at port work?
