Crusader Kings 2 crashes on certain date

crusader-kings-2macostechnical-issues

Hi, so I'm playing CK2 as Croatia, and all of a sudden, on the 21st of March 1120, my game unexpectedly disappears and my desktop appears.

I have searched the web for solutions, and all I can find is people stating the problem…

"This problem is caused by conflicting events."

What I am trying to do however, is get past this date, and continue playing.

I have tried:

  • Playing old saves.
  • Starting wars, moving troops, etc. (changing events)
  • Constantly restarting save.
  • Checking the error logs.

I am on a Macintosh computer running OS-X 10.10.2 Yosemite, the latest version of CK2 (2.3.3), and I am crashing to the desktop unexpectedly without warning.

The error logs have nothing to suggest a crash, and all I have is this:

[graphicssettings.cpp:85]: Resolution width to low. Setting it to 1024
[graphicssettings.cpp:95]: Resolution height to low. Setting it to 720
[instanttextboxtype.cpp:92]: Not used, use maxWidth and maxHeight file: launcher/interface/main.gui line: 87

[texturehandler.cpp:181]: Couldn't find texture file: gfx//coats_of_arms//dynasties4_indian.tga.
[texturehandler.cpp:181]: Couldn't find texture file: .

Thanks for any help. Please ask for more information if required.

This happened to me once, and I was eventually able to fix it by manually editing the save file: you know what day the event happens on, so you can look for which events are scheduled on that day and edit them away. (You want to save the game in text format---uncheck the "compressed" box when you save.)
