Current Built number: V1.0.1 Build 12645.2534073
(bug showed up first in v1.0.0 yesterday 2/24/2022 noon; as there was an update today, I do not have original Build number)

Detailed description:
Hi team. Hope you all do well.
As I ended my 89th turn and as The Putrid Swarm's turn starts, game crashes (or as my turn is suppose to start, game crashes. I am not entirely sure).
The Putrid Swarm is positioned on 54th/54 turn position and have for some reason same flag as The Bubonic Swarm on 13th/54 position, it may be relevant?
I tried reload previous saves and play further with same and different actions. It did not help, game always crashed on the same exact spot.
Please, help me fix it, thank you.

Reproduction Steps:
-press next turn
-you may skip/deny/auto-fight all actions happening, they are inconsequential.
-get to The Putrid Swarm faction position 54/54
-experience crash

Thank you for a swift response!
Have a great day!

With kind regards, Morningcock.

hi guys
i have the same problem as the OP
i think its the Turn start
for me its turn 83 just after ursun´s roar
i had this problem before while in the realm of Nurgle and thought maybe the realm itself is somehow the problem turn 75 at this point.
i circumvented the problem by going into the realm of Khorne which helped for a bit as i could finish it.
but as stated above turn 83 was again full stop.
i tried going back a few turns and do things differently but turn 83 was always the end.
i attached everything as OP Build number the same

Hi there i got the same problem with the putrid swarm at turn 76, i loaded few turns ago to kill them before the 76 turn, and it have been work, but now i'm at 106 turn, and they're come back and i can't spot them on the map to kill them, and the crash continues like you said guys

btw i send my savegame to a friend who completed a campaign.
and he had the crash too

I have the same issue.
Daemon Prince campaign, turn 115, crash at Putrid Swarm's turn.
Sound stutters for a moment and then the game crashes to desktop.

It seems happening only as Legion of Chaos for this specific bug (not talking about hired ally army).
Actually there is no fix.

Hi @CA_Charlie.
Any updates, please?

FriendlyHeavy

This is also happening to me.
End turn, and during Putrid Swarm's turn the game hangs and then crashes to desktop. Playing Legion of Chaos.

Putrid Swarm is the last AI faction to go in the turn order however. So maybe this is the 'allied army' bug posted in a different thread, maybe not? The game always crashes no matter what I do so I can't really tell.

Hi @CA_Charlie and team.
Once again, crash, now after turn 167. Probably same issue.
Please fix it, thank you.

Reproduction Steps:
-press next turn
-you may skip/deny/auto-fight all actions happening, they are inconsequential.
-get to the end of turn
-experience crash

I feel at this point I will ask for a refund, 2 games out of 2, it's frustrating.

Thank you for a swift response!
Have a great day!

Have you ever borrowed an army from an ally? Because this sounds exactly like: https://forums.totalwar.com/discussion/307694/end-turn-crash

Hi @CA_Charlie , any update please?

our campaign is still suspended by this awful crash

Same crashing experience on my game. Playing as Legion of Chaos. Game crashes after everyone takes their turn. Putrid Storm is the last faction to take a turn, everyone else goes, and then it freezes on Putrid Storm and crashes.

I had hired forces that I then dismissed but that didn't help.

Turn crashes when there are 38 factions left.

Game + GeForce Drivers are all fully up to date as of May 20.

Exact same problem for me playing Seducers of Slaanesh.
Turn 151 last faction to play is The Putrid Swarm and the game freezes just before I get my turn.
There's a Putrid Swarm's agent standing there since 50 or more turns south of the monolith of the void and I can't interact with it (can't wound, assassinate or anything).

That specific faction doesn't appear in my diplomacy window but I can see other factions and mine being at war with them weirdly enough.

Hi @CA_Charlie and team.
We are already in September, patch 2.1 is out and this bug is still alive and well.
When can I expect to play this game without crashes?
Seems Tomwhiteau is correct and both above crashes and one I recently experienced with Archeon are related with borrowed army crash (you borrow army, it dies some time later either by your hand or someone else's, games crashes)
Can we get raw estimate when this vile bug will or ever will be repaired? If it won't be addressed, I want my money back.
