Game crashes after loading save game.

Hallo! Wir haben die > Forumsoftware aktualisiert! <

    During my game I have 5 save games (because I already lost my progress due to crash). So, from time to time I save game to file 1 -> play 1-2 days -> save to file 2 -> etc -> save file 5. + autosave

    What happened:

    I saved game and attacked pirate. After bad pirate fight I decided to load game. Now game crashes before actual fight with pirate. But more interestingly now game crashes for all previous saved games too before this event. I'm so confused and need help to fix this / guarantee that it won't happen again.

    I'm playing GOG patrician 3 English version with replaced *.exe file for better Office and autotrade management (https://patrician3.fandom.com/…_binary_patch_description)

    I've played with this patch about year ago and didn't have such an issue, now I decided to play again, but it is second game crashed in similar way.

    One more thing that I've noticed: I've captured pirate Hulk ship, and after sent it to repair. After some time it was named "n" and became pirate automatically in port without Capitan, I've never seen this before (happened in both recent games). I didn't have it during playing year ago.

    I have suspicion that there were some Win patches...

    What I've tried:

    1. Deleted *.pst of corresponding save

    2. Reinstalled GOG game without patch

    3. Tried saved games in steam game

    4. Tried different compatibility modes while running game

    5. Tried 1.1b patch https://patrician3.fandom.com/wiki/Patch_v11b_Beta

    6. Tried to downscale resolution

    7. Tried to edit ruling for mail deletion

    8. Tried some steam fix with 1.1b and resolution patch https://steamcommunity.com/app…ons/0/592897268795918694/

    9. Tried to change commands of the ships

    I do want to play game, if the root cause is patch, I'm ok to play without it, but last time 1 year ago I didn't have any issues.

    P.S. I'm playing on Win11.

    Any ideas regarding this issue?

    Hallo Standard,


    ich glaube nicht, dass diese Fehler irgend etwas mit Win oder der Auflösung zu tun haben.


    Ich würde eher auf den Patch tippen, auch wenn du das Spiel noch einmal ohne Patch installiert hast. Gerade die Sache mit dem Piratenholk deutet darauf hin, gerade weil du das Problem in zwei verschiedenen Spielen hattest.


    Ich spiele die CD-Version, hat noch jemand die GOG-Version und kann da helfen?


    Hello Standard,


    I don't think these errors have anything to do with Win or the resolution.


    I'd rather suspect the patch, even if you reinstalled the game without it. The pirate holk issue in particular points to that, especially since you had the problem in two different games.


    I'm playing the CD version. Does anyone have the GOG version and can help?
