buggy

[unmerged(182532)]

ive had a fort "being constructed" for many-a-year now
i think it's a bug. i took over the province while the previous owner was building it, as i recall. anyone know a fix. cant do anything with it right now

i hate how when people bring concerns / bugs / suggestions to the forums, people redirect them to entering in code and doing all kinds of other crap as a workaround. why can't the game just work is the point. no one enjoys going on a forum to get a workaround to a game that's such a time-hole

My mind is blown.

Nonetheless, open your savegame with textpad or something and search for the name of the province. Once you find it, look for something like:

building_construction=
    {
        start_date="1492.10.12"
        date="1493.10.12"
        building=2
    }

and just delete that. Save you changes and load up your game and the unending fort should be gone. You might want to make a backup save first just in case you do something wrong.

yeah. i can throw the savegame up on megaupload if you'd like to take a look. thanks for the fix. i let rebels take one over and when i took it back it was reset, and the other one i just sold to another country and it appears to have reset it both times.

that quote's a bit out of context too. in said thread someone brought up a bug, and essentially someone else said it's a non-issue because you can just do whatever to the code. doesnt mean i think fixes are useless. like i said, game's a timehole, shame getting skrewed for the next 100 hours of gameplay and not using a fix. read into posts a little more with regard to context i guess

thanks again though

i think the problem must be somewhere else. thanks though

According to that, there's a missionary in the province, it's not building anything. Can you cancel the missionary ingame? If not remove that:
missionary_construction=
{
start_date="1411.12.3"
date="2411.12.3"
country="JAP"
}
