the only save game you can load is a save game made with this mod ON. you cant go and load a vanilla save, all the vanilla textures are gone, so it will crash.

I only have this mod enabled and i am having the game crash when i load a saved game, that only had this mod enabled? It really is a beautiful mod and i was enjoying playing it. Maybe i am doing something wrong?

with this mod you cannot load a save game. you need to start a new map.

gonna retry to explain it.
your save game use tons of textures that arent in the game anymore, so it is normal your save game will crash ! when you finished to load, the game will check to draw a vanilla wod texture, a wood house texture, a vanilla stone house texture... but they dont exist anymore !!!
then it crash !!

you need to start a new map and use all my textures. that is the only save game you will be able to load !
understand jorey ?

This mod crashes the game EVERY time I try to go back to the main menu. I then have to restart Steam due to a fatal error. This is the only mod I am running at the time.

@clanc when you go enable my mod , like any other mod, you never never never never start a new map right away !
you must always always close the entire game first. everytime you go in the mod window and do a change, enable a new one, change order .... you always new to exit and close the game entirely.

you are triggering a vanilla bug that has been there since day 1 of the mod ability of this game:
when you click on "exit" the game gonna go read your windows registry. the game only update your registry only when you close totally the entire game. so if you didnt done that, your registry hasnt been updated, and when you "exit" the game crash because your mod order doesnt match your registry => crash.

thats nothing to do with my mod, it always been there. everytime you make a change in your mods, you always need to close entirely your game and restart it completly. that way you wont crash.

doesnt it make sense for you what i explained ?

Thanks for letting me know :)

Yeah thanks, I figureed it out a little while after I posted my comment though. Step 1: enabled the mods you want. Step 2: let the game do the refresh thing it asks for. Step 3: Exit out of the game anyway and start it up again. Step 4: Do this whenever you change your mods, refreshing is not enough and isn't the same as closing down your game.

I'm having this issue in sorts... But I haven't switched the mods. I saved, turned off my computer, ate dinner, came back in 2 hours, loaded Steam, loaded the saved game, and it crashed after about 30sec to 1 minute.

Any suggestions? I didn't swap mods or anything in that 2 hours to illicit this. In fact I never even knew about this bug until now -- having to try and diagnose what the issue is.

Am I going to have to start over?

i have absolutely no idea, on 10,000 people using this mod from here to facebook download and worldofbanished download.... you are the first one who sais who crashed with this. so i guess it is one of your other mod in your mod list made you crash. not RKEC

i started a new map, but when i try to save game and load it later, instant crash me
i uses only this mod right now, and started with it da map

First: thank you for this mod, I think it's great.


But I have a similar problem. I made a new game with this mod that I've been playing for a few weeks. Since a few days this safe-game crashes again and again after some minutes. Then you can not open the game, until the computer is restarted.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix it?

and this is the only mod you use in this save ?

Sometimes, and I think its a vanilla bug (a bug that mods can't / don't fix) loading a saved game is wonky. I have found that closing out Banished AND exiting Steam to my OS. Then restarting the game leads to a more stable / faster playing game.
