Update #14 - Loading Crashes Fixed & Updates Resume

major update

Knights of the Crusades · published · build 26299309

Hello everyone,Great news - I'm resuming regular updates for Knights of the Crusades, with huge improvements coming this Fall. Today we're starting with the biggest issue of all: the crash during loading screens.This has been a very long and frustrating road. For months and months, I've been working through crash reports, testing possible causes and improving the engine. Earlier updates did make things better, but some of you were still running into crashes, especially during longer sessions. I know how frustrating it is to lose progress just as you're entering a city or returning from a battle.Today, I'm happy to finally say that we've pinpointed the exact issue and fixed the memory problems behind these loading-screen crashes. It took much longer than I wanted, and I'm very grateful to everyone who kept sending reports, saves and logs, and gave me another chance to get this right.This update also addresses several other crash issues, including crashes during play on the world map and the runtime error that could appear when exiting the game.There's plenty more on the way. A lot of work has been happening behind the scenes, and I'll be bringing more improvements to the game through regular updates over the coming weeks.Thank you for your patience and continued support. Please let me know how the update works for you, and I can't wait to share what's next!
