Summary0012145: Game crashes on save after caravan leaves map
DescriptionSave is here: https://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=16281

The step in the save progress appears to be "Offloading Units"

Basically the save is queued up to a point where the caravan has already started moving out of the trade depot. If you unpause for a few seconds to let any of them get off map, and then try to save you get a crash to desktop. There is also a migrant wave basically showing up at the same time as the caravan leaving. I used the advance a frame feature to get to the small slice of time between when a unit from the trade caravan has left and before the migrant wave has shown and it happens before they show up, so I think it is probably to do with the caravan.

Also tried some other tricks like deconstructing the depot after they were gone. I also tried a previous save where they were still on the depot but were already marked as departed and deconstructed the depot under them, but it still crashed when were offmap afterward. So, something wrong with the units of this particular caravan I suspect.

Another note is I can't retire or abandon the fort with this caravan here as it CTD during offloading units during that process as well and does so in my autosave from same season. Going back two autosaves I was able to retired the fort. So I still suspect the caravan but it's offmap at the point of the autosave but still buggy somehow.

I'm running into something similar in this save. Once the caravan leaves the map it will crash on "offloading units" next time you save.

I am having this problem as well, I found a Windows error log from what was logged in Event Viewer.

I have two saves here, one manual save I took when I saw the traders were about to leave, and then the save that crashed the game.

Same issue.
On earlier attempts (autosave, manual save a bit after all merchants left) the game crashed on "offloading units", but the times I tried saving right after they left the game crashed on "preliminary cleaning".

Wait for a moment until all merchants leave and then try saving, the issue will be reproduced.

1) Tried letting some merchants leave and saving then, saves correctly. But when they all leave - crash on save.
2) Tried building a couple of walls around the depot so the merchant wagons can't leave. Ones with pack animals successfully leave, wagons are stuck. Crashes on save.

3) Walled the caravan in so no merchants can't leave, no crashing.
4) Next year I didn't have an unforbidden depot, dwarven merchants came&went - crash on save.

I am also having this same issue, having narrowed it down to a human caravan visiting me and crashing upon the Offloading Units step in the save once they leave the map. Save is right when they're leaving if needed: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1rYPJKZFvfcXoLTUkA5NmzEYnE0WVZqcx?usp=share_link

Same issue. Killing all the merchants lets the game continue without crashing, but next year merchants from the same civ will have the same problem.

Still not fixed in the current beta. Now the game hangs in "Offloading units" for longer than usual but still crashes nonetheless.
