the game suddenly closes without any error message and no info in "lua.log files"

[leszek.j966]

For the past few days, the game suddenly closes without any error message.
I checked the lua.log file and there is no information there about an error occurring, a crash or something like that. I just play, the game closes and that's it

I'm having the same issue, and no idea what is causing it, besides MAYBE CQUI? But I believe it even happens without it.

I'm also having the same issue it.In addition to that I also experience random freezes around turn 50-100.The ai taking turns too long and if i press anything,the game just freezes.No warning nothing,just straight up freezes.It's happening in all games(gathering storm) now.I've tried everything from verifying game data to straight up reinstalling the game but nothing worked.Hope it's just a bug and a fix will come soon.

Do you have any mods on because I do. For now, I disabled all the ones that don't affect the save state, but it didn't help. There is also a second category of those influencing the save state, but here you need to manually edit the file with the '.modinfo' extension for each mod separately and step by step until you find something.

Temporarily i use the solution that I resume the game and save the game before it is about to close again, go to the desktop and start with the last saved file. Maybe it's a little swivel, but I'm slowly moving forward. I want to finish this map / game at least.

No I don't use any mods,just two big DLC(RF and GS).I suppose i'll have to try your way if i wanna finish the game.Thanks for the advice and hope it will get fixed soon.

I have found that manually setting priority to normal has helped the game run with fewer crashes and all but eliminated the desyncs in multiplayer not sure if it will work for anyone else but it has worked for me on 2 different pc's with 2 different processor generations. I did notice that less than 16GB of ram while doing this didn't benefit as much but still had a significant improvement over not doing it.

My new hypothesis is that these errors as well as the shutdown itself are due to errors in the script of certain civilizations. Well, at the beginning of the game, everything turned out fine for at least a few hundred turns, then suddenly errors and closing the game started. After I eliminated certain civilizations, everything seemed to be back to normal. I guess I say because just in case, I used the tactic to play a little save, quit the game, resume and so on until the next turn.

Suspicious civilizations are: Mansa Musa (Mali), Candraguta (India).
The hypothesis still needs to be confirmed in the next games.

my game also crashes suddenly without an actual error message, just straight to desktop. And it seems to become more frequent the farther in the game i get.

[leszek.j966]

The game crashes even when you try to exit the game to the main menu. A crash occurs and the game quits and exits to the Windows desktop

This setting will really mess with your hardware when enabled.(button 11)

when i had this enabled it powered of my pc in uefi mode,when i switched to legacy it erased by bootload profile in my bios rendering my ssd unreadable.
there is no quick fix for these crashes if at all.

I have this 'replace hold-to-drag with clicks' option disabled

I'm having it as well, of the last five games I've started I was only able to finish one.

I have tried:

complete reinstall, after deleting all save folders, and removing all mods

playing the game in dx11

lowering the number of players and using smaller maps

It's not playable, right now, for me

For what it's worth, I have an nvida card- someone on reddit said that might be the problem

[leszek.j966]

I also have an Nvidia graphics card: GeForce GTX 1660 Ti

I had some freezes before, but I started to get these CTD's people are describing after the last update.

i too am facing the same issue...game crashes to desktop without any warning between turn 50-100...have removed all mods...but still the same issue...i log back in...resume the auto-saved game...sometimes it goes beyond the crash point and crashes much later...sometimes it crashes at the exact same point...i hope they fix this soon

We can hope, but they seem to be too busy churning out new content... which is the cause of the bugs. The freezes started with an update, about four updates back, and they never bothered to address the issue. Now with this last one we get the CTD's.

Glad to hear it's not just me. I posted about it yesterday but got no replies, so I thought it was just something I was doing wrong with map mods.

I really hope they look into this soon.. I can't finish any of my games currently.
