HOI4 Keeps Crashing In A Specific Date.

[totigo]

So I started a new game as the Netherlands with The Great War mod in an old version of the game (Barbarossa 1.11.13) a few weeks ago, and it worked fine until today. Basically, once the game makes it to the 7th of July of 1918. at exactly 3:00 A.M the game crashes. I can still listen to the music playing in the background for a few seconds and I can still see my mouse moving across the screen but the game is completely frozen: None of the soldiers nor ships nor planes move and I can't zoom nor select things. After a few seconds, the game closes and a crash report window asking me for details before the crash pops up.

The first minutes it crashed, I tried to re-open the game but it keep crashing over and over, and for the last 5 hours or so I've looking solutions online... none of them seem to work.
I tried to save the game just when it gets to the 7th of July and then open the game on the last saved game several times, just like a Reddit guy said in r/hoi4 but it didn't work. I tried to open the game with the current version of the game to check if the version I was playing on was the cause for the crash, but it didn't work either. I tried to copy my last saved game, paste it on my desktop to then make a copy of it and put it inside my saved games folder to see if somehow it would work but it obviously didn't. I tried to open the game without any mods activated but it didn't let me continue my game as Netherlands. As a last resource, I tried to start the game with an old saved game (05/28/1918) but it didn't solve anything: The game keep crashing in the same date! I would greatly appreciate if anyone could help me solve this problem :

He's making sure your thread stays at the top of the Discussions page. As it'll get buried by others problems.

If game crash at exact time/date it is likely corrupted savegame and nothing can be done about it.

Hey guys. Had a similar Problem. Try to switch to the open beta: Right Click on Hoi4 -> Properties -> Beta -> Select the open beta. Worked for me!

I am having the same problem, only with me it is happening on the base game and it seems there is no pattern or specific date that the game is crashing. It just randomly decides to crash and does that without warning. Sometimes I would be in the middle of a battle and just about to win when the game decides to crash. I have tried doing pretty much every thing to try and fix the issue, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game. I have also tried the open_beta solution, but nothing seems to work. and all of this mess began after the latest update. Something must be up with their servers and paradox need to step up their GAME.

Same Problem. Crashing with the Mod " The great War. ". Before the new Update it worked fine. Now it`s crashing always in June 1914.

I am at year 1947 and no crashes, so it is most likely not a date but, but corrupted save game as it was mentioned above.

So if it is corrupted save I have to start another game or go back try my other saves and try them and look for an uncorrupted save?
