Cannot Close Out A War in Ironman Game. Seems to be stuck. How to resolve??

[OctopusMacaw]

So I am playing an ironman game as The Knights. I Have had a good start, and taken much of the classic byzantine territory. I won a war with the ottomans, and now am going back to Byzantium to take over their last two provinces. I beat them, and force them to become a vassal, however they were stuck in a war with Wallachia. The system brings me into this immediately after winning with Byzantium. I get into this war, Wargoal is to take their capital. I take over their two provinces: 100% war score. I open war menu and try to sue for peace. The dove button though is greyed out, and the system says:

"The target of a succession war cannot sign a separate peace"

There are 2 party on my side - Byzantium, and myself The Knights
There is one party on their side - Wallachia

What gives? How do I get out of this war? Will i have to release Byz and separately conquer Wallachia? Then conquer Byz again?

I have researched this and it looks like a bug. Is there a fix for this?

Ironman game otherwise I would try console etc.

I wonder who they were fighting over. That party probably sided with Byzantium. I'm afraid you are royally screwed. Perhaps you should report this in a bug threat too, as it brakes games...
I thought they fixed all these problems.

Not a tech support issue so moved to main forum. If the community agrees it's likely to be a bug, post in Bug Reports please.

I don't think there's a way to get out of this war, not by your own input anyways. I'd imagine someone like Hungary could declare on Wallachia and full annex them and that would end the war, but that's relying on the AI to do something. Definitely a bug though.
