BUG: Instant CTD in 'Habsburg Inheritance of Burgundy' event

Instant CTD in 'Habsburg Inheritance of Burgundy' event

Hello all. I'm having major trouble with the Burgundy Inheritance thingy...

I'm playing Austria (in 1.05), and on 3 june 1476 I inherit Burgundy, just as planned. I get a notification that Burgundy chose the 'Maximilian of Austria' and that France got the 'Austria Inherits Burgundy' event. So far so good. But when I try to push the 'It's all mine' button (indeed, when I just hover my mouse over the button...) it's an INSTANT CTD!

I've tried it several times now, but it doesn't matter - the millisecond I hover the mouse over the 'It's all mine' button it's an instant ctd every time.

Burgundy was dip-annexed by England, and then revolted and now consists of its capital province + French Comte. Could it have anything to do with that?

I didn't find anything about a bug like this in the bug list, so I suppose it must be an unusual bug... I have a save file from 2nd June 1476, one day before the event. Maybe somebody who knows these event things better than me could have a look at it?

Boo-hoo, I don't want to give up my GC because of a stupid bug...

Ok, I've solved it... I still get an instant CTD when I hover my mouse over the button, but if I keep the mouse cursor away and just accept the event by pressing 'Enter' on the keyboard there is no CTD, and the event works as it should. Of course, the bug is still there, but it's no big deal now that I know how to get around it.

By the way, normally an inheritance event is a good thing, but this particular events wasn't any good for me. I didn't get a single province (as Burgundy was down to just 2 provinces, which France got) but a helluva lot of CB shields on the low countries, which I have no intention of conquering anyway, that will probably lower my relations with several countries...

Someone else had a similar problem with an event that had text from some character set their OS didn't like... I think it was a non-US version though. I don't think there was any solution offered other than the one you found. Removing the offending character in text.csv might do it. If that's in fact the problem.

Is this the German edition of the game? You should try over in the German language forum here, that have lists of fixes to the various translation problems, some of which can indeed cause CTDs.

If that is the problem, you'll have to contact your publisher for it to be formally fixed - they do the translations, not Paradox.

I had a report about this in Support forum. With the english version, latest beta patch, it will crash if the event is triggered automatically; however, if you do it manually (typing event 3178 in the console) it is working fine with no CtD.
