Turn processing crash

[Tach]

After not playing for a while (most of a year) I decided that I had some spare time and started playing again. The game was created using 1.03 but I decided to upgrade to the beta, just because (and couldn't see anything saying it wouldn't work!). Did a fresh install from steam and then applied 1.04rc2. Not sure if I should have applied 1.03 again first but I think steam has that version?

Anyway, it ran fine for a couple of turns (3 or 4 I think), but then in late June 1861, it falls over.

I tried restoring the previous turn and that processed fine, but then when I get to late June 1861, it dies again. I've tried this a couple of times (and stupidly not kept the !main.log files from the previous tries... oops!). Each time, it generates the GB AI files, but then the error pops up when it gets to France. In the first few tries, the last event in the log was the "TAIAgent.GetDefinition" line. The last time, it made it as far as the supply phase, then CTD (it still popped the error on the France AI files though).

I've also done a clean install and put 1.03e on it, gets to the same place and dies (again, restored the previous turn which is fine, but then it dies at late June).

That's a problem that should go away if you restart a fresh game with latest version. For PBEM games we might inspect the save and fix it, but this is time consuming.

I've gone with the new game option. One day I'll get to the 1870's

probably a wise decision but this thread offers a solution to one of the ways this problem of game starts before 1.04 can be resolved.
