Cant cancel vassalizations

[HydroSqueegee]

I've noticed this problem off and on. But after playing for an extended period of time in the grand campaign, I cant release vassals. I click and click and click, but it never takes. After I save and reload, I can cancel the vassalization with no problem. But if I create a vassal, then immediately try to cancel it, I cannot. Save, reload, it works...

it stretches back for quite a while over the span of the betas and even in the regular 1.07. Currently using the Feb 7th beta.

:wacko:

I never release vassals Anyone else can confirm this?

There is this known bug:

317 : Type: GAME LOGIC | Status: NEW | Severity: NORMAL
Cannot set free vassal created during game
Reported In: 1,05 | Correction planned In : | Corrected In :

IIRC it means that a vassal you have at game start can be freed, but one you create can't be.

Ignore this post - it was late at night..

Or it might be a function of 'vassalage can't be broken the first few years' which AFAIK is there to prevent nations (human and AI) to accept becoming vassals in peace treaty then breaking vassalage the next day..

HydroSqueegee - have you tried after a few years? (Up to 5 I guess, one truce period?)

As with many other things in EU2, I think you only have to wait a month from the start to be able to create your vassal.

In this situation the option to cancel vassalization is greyed out. It's not if you created the vassal. You can click on it but nothing happens.

That doesn't help either.

Ah, then I understand that.

(I already confessed that whatever I was seeing had no impact on the bug o )

A DOW seems to do the trick, IIRC . Constant annexation requests will often get the vassal to break the tie for you.
