[0.95][Bug] Faction Dissapears From One Save to the Next

from Elemental Forums

I have been playing a game on a Large map with a bunch of AIs.  One, a custom faction named "Obnoxious Dinner Guests" quickly jumped out to a sizable lead and has held on to it as the game has continued.  However, I have been catching up over the last 100 turns or so.

Imagine my surprise when I loaded up my latest save to find that the Obnoxious Dinner Guests were no longer present in my game!

 

One save they're there:

The next (and all the autosaves that were with it -- ~15 turns later), they're gone like they never existed:

Even the places where they had cities are just fertile land.  It's like they resigned, but I feel like I would have noticed the most powerful faction in the game quitting or dying.

I will avoid pointing out that Obnoxious Dinner Guests could have simply gone home, because Obnoxious Dinner Guests never do.

 

What's your RAM?  Are you running 64-bit?

It is a known bug about factions disapearing. Usually when it disappears the game no longer plays becaus eit crashes at the end of the turn.

 

If you look at your load menu and the toolbox lists the factions left alive, then they do not appear in the game.

I had the same in my last game. Had only met Gilden and were fighting with them. On reload they were just not there anymore.

Yep, known save corruption bug. Say good bye to that save too.And possibly to many others before it if you have them.
