Yes. It is impossible to play.

I have new game crashes, where the game pauses once the loading bar is complete and it CTD (Played it without crashes about a week ago then took a break)

I have them sporadically. It's almost certainly linked to one of the many 4.2.3 updates some of the mods are pushing. For me, I can take a CTD every 20 turns or so. Reloading a save from a turn previously works.

But if it's persistant I'd pull up the 'last updated' column in shazbot's manager and start disabling the ones that have been updated recently since 4.2.X until things stabilize.

Unfortunately, that includes SFO, so you might be screwed there. Tyrant also has a linked non-SFO modpack that might give you more success.

Strange update but I can run the collection on the old world empire map, however trying to run an immortal empire campaign results in a CTD

At the moment could be LEGENDARY CHARACTERS that got a huge update in the past two days. The SFO submod didnt get any yet, try disabling anything related to that mod (assest, karanak, radinov)

i get a crash sporadically yesterday it was after a battle. i had work anyway shortly so rage quited

I'm getting CTD on startup, game is up to date, mods are up to date, load order is good, and I disabled legendary characters for now... what is happening? :/

Without a crash report, I've no clue but I assure you that on my end the collection works even with LC enabled so:

- Try to clean up every appdata file from TheCreativeAssembly (do a backup of saves or whatever)
- Unsub every mod
- Verify Integrity
- Clean the Steam Cache
- Sub again every mod
- Check load order
- Verify Integrity
- CTD has to disappear, nothing can stand the process: if a file is corrupted or broken it will be fixed

I did everything as you mentionned but I still crash on startup :/
Is there a way to start the game through a console or are there log files somewhere?

Thank you for your help

Are you using the games launcher?

I believe crashes are caused by dukes of bretonia mod, I've removed and i have played normally till turn 36

Some crashes may occur because scripts are ovelapping and it may happen because of outdated strings, Dukes of Bretonnia is one of the few still outdated mods - even TEB is causing me some crashes but aside from the rebooting the game, saves are not being corrupted by conflicts

Any solution for this?

In my case crash happened on Legions of Chaos turn. Killing them fixed it for the moment but since it's vanilla faction, I assume it might happen again.

every other turn it crashes at the end, and with 10 minute turn order intervals this ♥♥♥♥ is just not worth it
