237 bc bug

[orangat]

What is this 237 BC bug in RTW?

[Mamba]

It's a bug that I believe made its first appearance with the 1.5 patch of the game.

Essentially what happens is that once you finish the turn 'Winter, 237 B.C.', the game immediately crashes to the desktop. I am told that this has something to do with the Carthage glassmaking event.

Is there an absolute certainty that the game will crash once 237 comes around? Or does it only happen to some people? Is there an unofficial fix for this?

[Mamba]

A) If it happens to everyone, yes. I retried that turn over 7 times, and every time it happened.

B) I have no idea. But I know that it's happened to 3 people at least (including me)

C) Not to my knowledge. Hopefully, CA will release a fix-up patch sometime soon. If they don't, maybe Player1 will hook us up. I'd do it myself except I have next to no knowledge with computer software.

This is absolutely ridiculous for a mature product with numerous patches to have such a serious bug.
My first rtw in a long while and its buggy pos.

Does this only have an effect when playing as Carthage? I've made it past 237bc in my campaign as Julii. Also loading from autosave may kill that corruption bug as a workaround for now.
