Problem with a saved game (Craddle Mod)

[FMP thE mAd]

Hi there,

It's my first post here, but in fact i read this forum since a long time (2 years, at least). I love CTP2 and i still play with this game.

I played a lot yesterday, and saved at the end of the year 1938.

Today there's problem : i can load my saved game and then i can play my turn. At the end of my turn, i press "enter" key. Then, i hear an unit die (i don't know where) and then, game crashes !! And restart to Windows.

I have :
- CTP2
- CTP2 patch 1.1
- Craddle of Civilization
- Modswapper
- other Mods

I tried to reinstall but there's still the same problem.

There's my saved game here, if you want to see it :

I think the problem is the Pollution : you can see in the saved game that the red indicator, at the right corner, overflow the screen ! So i think it's the reason why the game crashes.

How can i repair this please ?

Thank for your help, i really want to continue this game, if it's possible, of course

PS : if this game is definitively corrupted, how can i play next time ? Wich setting i have to put ? I want to play with pollution, it's very interesting in my opinion.

PPS : i hope you'll understand me, my english is not very powerfull

I read post on corrupted saved game, and i think my problem will be fixed with the "reloadslic" tip. But, now, i can't load this damn game... Don't know why. Games crash as soon as i try to load saved game...

Do you have the latest source code playtest build? If no, I suggest you remove the game, install it again, install the mods and Modswapper back on, and download the latest playtest build from here:

You will probably lose this savegame anyway, but the playtest build is much more stable and better than the original.

Ty for answer !

I download all files you linked, desinstall ctp2 and try to reinstall it. But now it's worst : when i try to patch with the 1.1, install program said that "he can't find ctp2 on your system".

I'm becoming crazy...

[Solver]

You don't need to patch with 1.1 after that. After installing CtP2 again, just extract the files you downloaded and you don't need to install the official patch anymore - you can from there proceed with installing mods and playing.

Wasn´t a modupdater needed also to change 1 or 2 lines in certain files?

[Solver]

Can't recall if it's needed still. Anyway, I did that manually...

Well ty for advises.

I do what you said, and it's working ! I can play again with my saved game ! Woot !

Well, now i will play with this mods

That's nice to hear! So you can even load old save games now, that's confirmed... good, good .

It isn't needed anymore, but updating the terrain.txt and the tileimp.txt and const.txt concerning freight cost and cravan coefficient are very good ideas, but if I remember correctly these updates aren't included in ModUpdater.

They were not included. It was just a quick hack, and as Martin says it is no longer needed. I may construct a better version at some point if I have the time...
