Crusader Kings II Open Beta Patch 2.1.5.5 Now Available - checksum EKQZ

[BjornB]

We've just uploaded a fifth open beta version of patch 2.1.5 to Steam.
If you want to help us test it, right click the game in the Steam client, choose Properties, click the "Betas" tab and select the "Beta 2.1.5.5" version of the game.

This time around we have focused to fixing the stuttering and crashes introduced by the previous beta patches, some other bug fixing has been thrown in for good measure.

Here's the full change log:

MAJOR:
- Optimized AI for elector titles for religions
- Optimized so interface should seem smoother at all times, less stuttering
- Fixed a bug where wars against vassals would not start properly, and freeze any plot related to that war.
- Fixed crash when you hover over dead characters religion icon
- Fixed CTD when AI is evaluating targets
- Fixed CTD with tradeposts when resigning game and starting a new old gods game.

MINOR:
- Now properly updates holy sites for Muslim religions.
- Added missing localisation for coa_plain_pagan and coa_plain_indian.
- Modified decisions, achievments and events for Indian empires to also trigger for the empire of India.
- Your spymaster can now properly persuade other nobles to join your faction.
- Fixed a bug where characters were having their tutor reassigned from the tutor the player had picked for them
- Muslim Special Troops now use the Muslim Horse Archer model, rather than the Western Light Cavalry model

INTERFACE:
- Improved cardinal appointment score text and interface a tiny bit
- Changed the law tab for republics so that they now properly show the expected successors.

Previous beta lagged for me, but worked fine to my friend. The solution was for him to become a host. It was very stable, no desynch in mp, no crahes, no problems, but after this patch game just crashes almost instantly. Happens to both host and client even when we switch sides.

My Beta version says 2.1.5.5 (QUHQ). It also seems to be crashing shortly into games... Is it because I am trying to continue a saved game with a friend that we started in 2.1.5.4? If so, is there a chance you can keep the prior betas active to choose in the Beta list for those of us with ongoing games? At least for a week or something to let people finish up games, haha.
It's ok if not, just thought I'd ask :)

Nope, we just started a new game and it crashed early in...

That checksum is not correct.

I can't seem to continue saved games. Even those started after this patch. I can play just fine starting a new game, but not once it's saved and I try to load it.

[Druzsba]

Similar problem here, all previously saved games crash 3 in-game days after loading them.

So this doesn't fix the inability to straighten out decadent dynasty members bug for Muslims?

Is that issue listed in the change log above? If 'yes' then yes, if 'no' then no.

I failed to mention a pretty important bit... We are playing the Game of Thrones mod.
Had to revert to the non beta version, which works to connect to multiplayer for a certain number of connections, then stops... have to upgrade to the beta again, connect, disconnect, and downgrade before it will connect again to allow us to restart the game.

Thanks for any assistance :)

Greetings from Spain, since I installed this Beta 2.1.5.5, you restart the game to me the program crashes. Please appreciate that someone gave me a solution. I have the same problem with Druszba

There's no need to be facetious. It is possible that something could be left out of the log on accident. Are you a developer? No, you aren't. You aren't qualified to answer the question. This bug is pretty much gamebreaking for Muslims and if it still hasn't been fixed, then that's disturbing news considering it has been known for months now.

Same here , start new game with friend in Multi , when we stop and restart from all last save , game always crash at 6 or 7 january ( when use auto save ) .
Tryed a lot of old savegame , always same .

I agree with you 110%, essentially Sword of Islam is unplayable at the moment AND that means half the 1/3rd of the game's content (which I paid for by the way) is unusable.

The better response is: if yes then yes, if no then when?

[Ashora]

Actually , it's also on India . So i guess it's for the all game .

Same issue. It looks like it saves, no error or anything but click on load, there are no saved games in the list.

I am running a rather old machine:

OS: Windows Vista
Using all DLC and patches (excepting Sons of Abraham and Raja's of India and associated graphics DLC).

But I can run the game no problem, and the cache is verified. The only issue is when attempting to load a save. Like I said, the save seems to go through, but when you return to load the game (either in the same instance or when you exit and re start the game) there is no saved listed.

Any help would be appreciated.
