[2.7.1 OVSF beta] Black Death doesn't go away

[kmh42]

all major DLCs
no mods activated
I started as Gotland in 769 and the black death started around 815. Now it is 893 and it is still present in nearly all feudal realms. Occasionally it disappears in some provinces for a few year just to come back later. I am not much effected because I am tribal but I cannot raid a thing because of attrition.
Game Rules are set to deadly.

Game Rules are set to deadly.

i don't think this is a bug as that rule setting specifically has a warning message not to use it unless you really want to die from epidemic diseases.

I played the last dozens of games with this game rules on the previous patch and never stayed the black death nearly as long. It came frequent, yes, it hit hard, yes but it always got away after some years. When the black death reached on end of the map it was long gone on the other side. This time it is constant. Sometimes it disappears in a few counties but shortly after the plague comes back. I never experienced something like this before. I am lucky that I play tribal. Otherwise I would be frustrated after 80 years of black death.

Yes, I had this problem too, and it's definitely new behavior. The "Deadly" epidemic scenario has a listed duration of 50 months, which is about how long I usually see it last before it stops spreading to new provinces. In this case it was still listed as active in the save file decades later, and it was reinfecting the same provinces many times in succession. I play deadly plague settings all the time and this wasn't the same thing.

What version, mods, DLCs and related game rules do you use? Can you provide a save game?
Thx for confirmation.

I observed that two provinces in the Krete duchy had smallpox for over 50 years with the major DLCs with the "Big interface" mode (though it somehow didn't seem to be working, but didn't bother with fixing it) with the 2.7.1 OVSF beta version.

Not sure if it's the same bug, and it's on ironman.

 

[kmh42]

Here are two addidional savegames were this happened.
One ironman 2.7.1 game with all DLCs and just cosmetic mods. Two separate Black death are raving through the lands. They even target tribal and nomadic lands.
And a HIP game with the Cacao3 version and default install

Hey,

Thanks a lot, that's good data you're providing here. We've added a link to these threads (and all it's byoutifuuul savegames) to our faulty epidemics ticket, so that we can maybe have more intel on what's going on.

I'm having this as well. I have hospitals at max level in every province, and every single province I have has had it uninterrupted for decades (while it was pervasive around the world previously and is now in only 2-3 other provinces outside of my control). Beyond irritating. Would I be able to edit it out in my save file? I don't even know where it's listed in there.

I have now suffered from the black death since 1180, and now it is 1306. Really frustratring.

I hate to say this but a functional game is not important for the Devs, as it seems.
