[3.0] Succession is not Working Properly

Game Version
[3.0]

What expansions do you have installed?
All of the above

Do you have mods enabled?
No

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
I also have Holy Fury installed and enabled which is not listed above.

The problem I am having is that the succession is not updating appropriately for me when my heir would change. For example, my character has two daughters, and recently legitimized a bastard son who should take priority over their inheritance. (Agnatic-Cognatic succession.)

Until another child was born to me, almost a year later, the succession did not update; it was still listed that my two daughters would split the realm. Earlier before he had the daughter, his sister (from a different dynasty) was set to inherit. Once his daughter was born she should have been the heir but again for several years it did not update until this time, a family member, his mother, died.

I don't at this time know if this results in incorrect inheritance, or if at the death of the ruler the correct child would inherit, but it is still distracting, especially when your ruler is ill or badly wounded, and there's a "Game Over" icon at the top of the screen.

Steps to reproduce the issue.
1) Have a ruler.
2) Have the ruler have a daughter or someone lower in the line of succession set to inherit.
3) Change the inheritance by having a son or someone else who would be higher in succession.
4) The succession will not update until the next time a family event occurs. (Family member dies, new child is born, etc.)

Some new information on this. The succession information updates when a child is born into a family from the ruler and his wife, but not if a bastard is legitimized into the house. The information on the succession also does not update with a succession law change until an event affecting the father, the mother, or the child fires, such as the child becoming ill, the mother getting pregnant, the father being wounded in battle (or presumably dying). So hopefully this just an aesthetic thing and doesn't have an actual effect on the succession, but I haven't had a chance to check that since in most cases there's an event before one dies, instead of just a sudden death.

Just as an example, I had two sons, and I changed to primogeniture succession. The "split realm" notice remained appearing (even after re-loading) until an event fired that their mother was pregnant again, at which point the "split realm" notice disappeared and I was informed I had a new heir. (Even though it wasn't a new heir, it was just that he had become the primary heir.)

 

[Thus kindly i scatter]

When i played byzantines, even though i had child son, game would bug me with "no heir of your dynasty" nonsense, because non-dynastyc nephew was being voted in, then game would realize i had a heir, and then forget back, until my heir turned 16

All right, and after some more experience today, I can say that this, while disconcerting, does NOT actually affect the succession. Your character dying is a significant enough event that it snaps the succession to displaying correctly, and the correct person in the line inherits.
