[2.0.55] Save files keeps freezing after x playtime - Solved: Castra - Artillery = issue

Post by nookos »

Hi
I'm having issue with my save files freezing past a certain amount of playtime. I reload previous saves, and no matter what I do it freezes at that same amount of playtime. After a quick search over here, I found a post about maximum tick value that produces similar issue. But my save files are nowhere near that value. First save file I had that on was at 434,5hours, and my newest file does the same at 140,5hours. I tried the solution offered on a thread, enter editor mode, delete all the belts and fast forward. My save files still freeze in editor past that amount of playtime.

My save files seem to be really big. That means I can't upload them here because I get an error message. 434,5h file is 80Mb and weirdly the new one with 140h is 120Mb, even though there's less stuff in it.
I'm thinking it's mod related because first playthrough was vanilla and fine for 360 hours, then I installed mods the problem happened 74hours later. New playthrough is already at that problem after only 140hours.

I have no clue how to troubleshoot this, thanks for any help.

Upload the save files to google drive, dropbox or similar and link them here.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HP5Eac ... sp=sharing This is the latest save file. 120Mb at 140h.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xMJjro ... sp=sharing And the 80Mb at 434h

I only care about the 120Mb now, so it's the one I'm trying to fix.

Well I finally found out what the problem was, so in case it might help someone one day, I leave it here:
The freezing is related to planet Castra, and having artillery eradicating the enemy. Removing the artillery fixes it.

You should contact whoever created the mod that made planet Castra, and report this bug.
