[Win 0.11.857] Game crashes right after loading a save

[Levin]

Hi,

The problem here is what the title says. Right after I load the attached save, the game crashes.

The circumstances are as follows:
-I've been playing this colony for about two years in-game.
-I got the Manhunter Event and immediately saved the game.
-Less than a minute later, when I try to gather the colonists, the game crashes. This happens every time I load the save.

Se the following link for save-, world- and log-file.

I hope there's something I can do. Would like to continue this colony.

Kind regards,
Levin.

you do have a mod loaded with that game save, the stonecutting mod.  Makes it difficult to know if it is the mod, or the core game.

[Levin]

ah, sorry, I forgot about that one. I'll try deactivating it and see if I can load the game.

[Levin]

No effect from deactivating mod, the game still crashes after load. Of course, having used the mod for some time in the game there could be hidden "damage".

I did notice something interesting. I saved right after Wargs appeared. Instead of making a beeline for my base, they instead move along the maps edge. When I click them I see that they're all going to melee-attack Ana. I have no colonist named that, but it's the same pawn which trows the exception.

[Levin]

Hi again.

As I mentioned, the wargs that arrived were trying to attack the non-existant pawn. So I tried starting the game in dev-mode, deleted the offensive wargs, and summoned a new warg attack. This worked. The new wargs attacked as they should and the game did not crash.

A minor side-effect is that now the sound cuts out after 15 minutes or so.

[TLHeart]

Yes the error was already active, so deactivating the mod, on the same save makes no difference, since the error is already present and saved.

Ana, I never did find her, must of been a wanderer/visitor on the edge of the map. And by the direction the wargs are headed, that is where she is at.

Sounds like you found a work around. Enjoy the game.
And the sound cutting out is a known issue.

[skullywag]

i wonder if you saved it just as she left the map and one or more of the wargs hadnt cleared her as a target on the next tick, so when reloading they are referencing an object that doesnt exist. Extremely bad timing on your part but a bug none the less if that was it.

A serious bug. Let's consolidate info into the other report on it. I'm currently asking for info there; anything would be appreciated.
