Can't interact with Artist Troupe

[Burntpancake]

I met an artist troupe in the early game, I can interact with them just fine.

Game has progressed a few decades and I now have the spare materials to do something with them, but when I click them, no window pops out.

I can interact with the trade enclave just fine, but not the artist.

This artist troupe is within my border and have 100 opinion with me from the diplomacy overview window.

I also found an artist troupe within an AI's border, but I can't interact with them as well.

There is a bug that permanently prevents communication with the art enclave after the event where they "steal" minerals during the festival.

I had this problem too, found that restarting fixed it.

But I did not hire them to do anything before, Could AI hire them?

I restarted once but it didn't solve the problem, gonna try again later.

Not sure I would suggest making a bug report

 

[rittstar]

i had the same problem, after using all what they have to offer, no longer comunication with them, restart/load did not fix it

I had the same problem once. Restarting etc., nothing worked out.
So I restarted the whole game - luckily my progress was not that far.

Anybody knows if it's a bug when you never get the Ministry of Culture? I'm their patron for ages now but this never came up. In my other games it was always the first thing i got from them.

For what I know there is no bug reated to the Ministry of Culture, but some times these kind of thing takes forever, sometimes with me takes at least 50 years,so if you are unlucky could take far more.

I never found a solution to the bug after they steal minerals, but if I keep then in 100 opinion for long enough and be their patron for a long time before allow the festival,the bug occurred far less times than when I allowed the festival as soon as I could, but could be just luck.

I wasn't aware that this is a bug, I thought it was intended... they steal the festival resources and f*** off... not being accessible afterwards I thought is a consequence of them giving you the fingers... but in all my playthroughs they come back after a while (10 years maybe?) without any restart...

Its a known bug. Has been for a while, hopefully 1.5 will fix it, otherwise I will get grumpy.

 

[Vickez]

@KopiG oh, I see... well, it is nicely wrapped in a story that for some (or at least me) made it look very intended behavior LOL

 

[macd21]

When it happened to me it had nothing to do with them stealing minerals. I had opened diplomacy with them, and was considering buying art, but decided not to. After I clicked out, I couldn't open diplomacy with them again - clicking on them did nothing. I gave up, continued playing for a while, the quit for the night. When I started again the next day, their diplomacy screen appeared as soon as I began playing (I hadn't even thought about clicking on them). Worked fine from then on.

As KopiG said, it's a known bug. Read his bug report thread for detail of the bug and how to fix it by some modding effort. I think the bug has been noticed by Pdox, and will be fixed in 1.5.

Or you can use some mod (like mine) to fix the problem before official 1.5 patch.

@macd21 then this is a different issue (omg< I feel like I post things at work on our company forums ... "this is a different issue") ... anyway, indeed, this is a bug, can be fixed as @Risa said or/and exit the game (for the save in ironman) and load it again...when the game loads it will instantly display the dialog window with troupe which was somehow left open in the background but invisible...

Sorry I missed that post in my earlier search. That is very helpful.

But I don't think I'm gonna fix it now because I want my achievements, I suppose I'll just have to remember to always use the dialogue options in the future.
