[2.3.2 MMUR] Depose Antipope doesn't depose antipope

[Aquitaine]

Playing as ERE with a vassalized pope in Orbetello circa late 10th century.

One of the Karlings, King of Middle Francia, creates an antipope in Nice. I own Genoa so I figure, easy sally next door to get rid of the guy. War declared. Thousands killed. War won.

Antipope remains. King of Middle Francia takes a piety hit and nothing else happens.

Is 'depose antipope' not meant to actually depose the antipope?

I ended up fabricating a claim just to get rid of the guy. That worked.

This is something like the seventh time this bug has been reported. At least. Entering "+depose +antipope" in the search field will show you quite a few results. It has been acknowledged as a bug by Paradox QA (first linked thread).

It's the first time I've reported it and they're free to delete this thread if it's not useful.

You might consider that most folks reporting bugs do so rather quickly and as a courtesy. Having duplicates comes with the territory. "But you could just search" yeah or I could just not post bugs at all, since the typical scenario is "I have thirty seconds and should I bother reporting this."

Yeah, don't worry about the jerks. It's an annoying bug and they deserve to hear about it over and over until they fix it.

The OP seemed unclear on whether or not this was a bug. As I noted in my post, the first linked thread includes a confirmation from Paradox QA that this is a bug and it has been entered in their database. I guess providing information like this will not please everyone, however, and I'm fine being called a jerk for it.

You're a jerk, lol.

 

[Rationalsanity]

This is a known issue but it's a such a severe issue that the devs need to be spammed with it until it's fixed.

Catholics are basically unplayable, especially on Ironman mode.

I don't mind learning that it's been reported before. That (at least) tells me that it's not just me, it's definitely an issue.

Your tone suggested the conclusion that 'and therefore you should not have posted,' which in a perfect world is exactly right, but my attention span for bug reporting is to try and get useful information in a useful format and didn't budget for a search first. That's all.

The search function is there for your benefit as well as everyone else's. Continuing to post the same issue again and again makes it more difficult to use. Repeatedly posting a bug that has already been confirmed by Paradox and entered into their bug database does nothing other than making the search function more cumbersome to find useful results. But I suppose people that are too lazy to use the search feature don't care that much about how useful it is.

 

[Aquitaine]

I take it back, you are a jerk.

 

[Cironian]

It won't help if you're set on playing ironman, but I posted a little mod at http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?832696-Fix-for-2.3.2-Antipope-problems that fixes the problem.

 

[Servancour]

As mentioned, we are aware of the issue and should hopefully be able to fix it as soon as possible. No ETA on when that will be though.

But as this thread also contains unnecessary comments and remarks. Consider the thread Closed.
