Fast Forward to 14AD

This one is weird.

Makedonia, Winter 246 turn...for some reason, the game suddenly lagged immensely in campaign map mode, so I saved and restarted (I had left the computer on for a while before playing, figured it was just the 'ole memory leak thing). Anyway, on reload, I clicked on the advisor to run scripts...and the date changed to 14 AD (and the massive lag instantly returned as well)...

Anyway, tried it a couple of times to make sure it kept happening (it did) then went ahead and loaded and hit end turn without running scripts...poof, no fast forward, even when I ran the scripts the moment my turn started. However, by not running the script right away,I fear I have (at least) messed up the seasonal changes.

Since I wasn't really paying attention to the date when I originally noticed the lag, I have no idea what caused it- Nothing I do save for clicking on the Show Me More button to run scripts seems to cause the error to repeat, but doing that always hits em with the time warp. Does anyone want to see the save game so they can hopefully figure out what is causing this? I assume there is an error in one of your thousands of scripts, but I don't pretend to know enough about computers to venture any more ideas.

Thanks,
Iskandr

Interesting. Send the saved game to my e-mail address (Simetrical gmail com, you can fill in the punctuation yourself), or upload it to a post in our TWC forums (file uploads of up to 1 MB are allowed for ZIP files). Zip or RAR it, of course.

Thank you, Iskandr. This one is an interesting one that we have encountered before, and one that was fixed, but apparently the fix was not completely foolproof. This will be looked into, and hopefully solved once and for all. Meanwhile, you can comfort yourself in the knowledge that running one turn without scripts does not mess up seasonal changes, that is, if the script works fine after that.

Just got it. At 246 the game went awry.

Mine was more severe. I was playing Rome. The lag started prior to the end turn. Then, the beginning of the next turn showed a window, with the Face of Augustus, telling me I failed my campaign. At the same time about 15 event cards fell down, most of which were major disasters like volcano's and storms. What's funny is that Vesuvius erupted and a major storm hit one of my fleets. It was like the apocolypse or something. The other event cards were vanilla events like archmedes screw and vestigal vigins and what not.
