Saka Crash with Error Dialog Box

Hmm.

This is getting scary. See LotW's thread for another case, and more suggestions.

Here's the link.

You don't have to run a debugger to see patterns in what is happening in the game when the crashes occur, you just need plenty of time and stubbornness enough to search for it.

Thank you for your reply, Bovi! Probably I am not getting something, but it does not say there how do I get control over another faction. Is there some cheat code, or save game modification tool I am not aware of?

I believed Tellos' link to point to where you could see that without checking myself. My fault , instead this thread shows how.

Thanks for the link! I did not think it was that easy. Anyways after spending 2 hours in hex editor I did eventually found out hopw to swap factions in a save game, but the problem was that the swapped faction's turn would never end. So I opted for another solution - reloaded an earlier save and replyed it. Now I am at least 15 turns past that crash and so far it has not happened.

A workaround could be to use the Barbarian Invasion executable for that turn. I did not have a program crash using the spqr.sav posted in another thread about the same error, which seems to result in a program crash with the same error message.
