1.2 named save games dont load

from Elemental Forums

when i save a game and give it a name it never reloads. the only way to get back to my game is to load the auto save feature.

also when im in a tactical battle sometimes i can not move my men or take action and neither will i be able to end my turn. the only way to break out of it is to use the auto resolve function which causes me to lose more units that i otherwise would have lost had i been able to play the battle out instead.

 EDIT: ok now i cant load any of my save files. so the game i have been playing the last 4 days is gone. wtf i thought patches were supposed to fix problems not make new ones...

I have the same problem with the tactical battles getting stuck and having to autoresolve to get out of them. Seems to happen more now that I'm using mods.

Well i guess this game goes into storage. i waited 30 minutes to see if one of my save games would load and it didnt. am i the only one with this issue? i really dont want to start over a 3rd time to have my game come to a grinding halt again.

I've never seen this (and I've posted bugs for months here). Do you have any mods installed?

I would test a brand new game (turn 1) and see if you can duplicate it with any game, any size map, any faction, etc.

[Edit] It sounds like it could be a corrupted save file or something.

I dont have any mods. i am using a custom large size map that is a large single continent. its pretty big and modeled after the wheel of time as closely as possible. so could there be an issue with too much land?

Could be. What is the map size? I think the largest supported is 12 x 8 sectors.

What I would do is start some new games using random vanilla maps of different sizes. If all of those don't experience the problem then you know for a fact it has something to do with your custom map.

[Edit] You don't need to actually play them per se. Just start some games and cycle through some turns to see if you can duplicate the same error on the random vanilla maps.

I have this exact same problem.  I'm not sure whether they stop working because of memory or what.

im on day two of my new game and it has yet to happen again luckily. the only issue is all the memory crashes.

this is off topic a bit but does anyone know if there are any mods out there based on wheel of time? units, factions, w/e?

Not any that I'm aware of with any kind of traction. There are some cool mods though in the mods section that help improve the vanilla game  - give those a shot sometime.
