Being my first post here, I couldn't start it without a word of praise to the R13 crew: This is the BEST mod I've ever played! You have done a great job with armours and weapons, with new towns, historical accuracy, and all, permitting the player to get immersed on XIII Century Eastern Europe. Great job indeed! Please, keep it up, and don`t let it die. 
That being said, I can get to the main reason for this post, a weird problem I'm having when any of my chars get around day 400: corrupted savegame files. I've lost my first 2 chars this way, so I decided to be extra carefull on the third try, manually backing up several saves, alt tabbing from the game at crucial moments and manually copying the files I got with F12 (I play realistic, but made this F12 saves specifically for backups). So I have now a collection of 10 saves of important moments, the last one being save X, at day 398, when I got the ability to recruit from all Rus towns, including conquered Kernave.
All this 10 saves work well, but I cant play any further. All my attempts to play on were frustrated by bad savegame files (even the ones I get by F12ing). When i try to load the game, I get an extra long wait, that ends up with a pop up indicating a runtime error, related to mount&blade.exe.
Why 400 days? I hope some of you may help me, cos I found out I cant play other mods anymore. I want to play THIS ONE!!!!!! thanks
Important notes:
- This never happened with any other mods, or native. I never had a bad save before.
- This still happens after a fresh download and install of both, Mount&Blade and Rus XIII, on a different named folder.
- Not a single line of code was altered. Both M&B and Rus XIII files are all originals.
- I could send copies of good and bad saves, if that would help.
- A new char was made for test, sitting on Cherson for 400 days, and the same **** happened.
- The problem affects both autosaves and f12 saves, after about day 400.
