[1.20] Corrupted save games

from Elemental Forums

This is the 1.20 playthrough I have encounter this problem, and imho, it is game breaking, it should be simply fixed ASAP, especially considering all the other threads about it.

In short, the saves the game produces after a specific point in the game become unloadable. The game doesn't CTD when loading but just stays idle with the loading bar stopped at a random percentage (or at least it doesn't crash for at least 5 minutes) after which I simply close the game through the "unresponsive app" window.

I am linking 3 saves, the last one (039.sav) being unloadable. 038.sav is loadable, and what happens after it is I kill the enemy champions next to my sovereign's group, save the game (039.sav) and exit the game. Then I can't load the 039.sav save. I've reproduced it a couple of times. I didn't try saving a couple of turns after 038.sav without killing the enemy unit since it was already 2:30 AM and one should avoid getting frustrated at 02:30 AM.

Random large map, custom sovereign, 8 factions, dense champions, everything else default iirc. I am using these in all my playthroughs.

I link the 037.sav as an earlier save in case you need it, and the debug.err.

Yep, same problem here. I haven't been able to load my last game. Can't remember if I started it before or after the 1.2 patch though.

In my case, it's pure 1.2 games. I even did a clear install with 1.2 since I had it uninstalled since 1.12

Never had such problems before 1.2, though admittedly, it's the 1.2 patch that gave me the "one more turn" syndrome for this game.

Okay, things are getting weirder. I just got home and found out that none of those saves is actually loadable now. The earliest loadable save is 5-6 turns before that

What's more, the game actually loads those corrupted saves without getting stuck on the loading screen, it shows the game screen with my sov group in a black mist and then CTDs. Noone else has used the computer, much less played FE since I went to bed last night.

Before crashing, I noticed that it uploads to 74.204.71.182:80 and :443 about 3,5mb of data. Is this Stardock related or should I be worried ?

Also some official feedback to all the corrupted save game threads would be much appreciated.
