Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
I declared war on an ennemy with my casus belli, I occupied the lands but the game still considers that the ennemy holds it. It says "The defender controls the war target" and makes him win the war over time. I can't win a war/conquer new territories. Same thing happened the other way, I lost a war where I controlled the claimed territories by my ennemy.

Please explain how to reproduce the issue
Open save of Tsar Volodar IV, declare war on Syria to claim the de jure territories, see for yourself when you'll try to win the war.

Is there anything else you think could help us identify/replicate the issue?


I have attached a save game

maybe this bug:

War ticker bug: for war over multiple de jure countries
CK III - War Target not working for Claim All De Jure War
CK III - War score not correctly reflecting that I control target counties
CK III - Defender controls war target bug
CK III - War Goal do not proceed
CK III - De Jure war does not have war target
CK III - "De Jure" war constantly ticks down the war score even when I control all claims
CK III - Defender holld war target even after conquering all de jure counties
CK III - Losing war while controlling all targets
CK III - De Jure War broken? (not in bug forum, but about this bug)
CK III - Help! Why is defender holding war target here? (not in bug forum, but about this bug)
temporary solution that sometimes work: save game and reload it

I have the same issue. The only way to win the war is to occupy all counties the enemy has. Imagine doing this VS Byzantium or the Mongol Empire. Wars that would take 3 months now take 10 years and my empire is falling apart because of the long term war. But it doesn't happen to me in every war. I didn't notice such an issue until about 1300. And then this bug doesn't appear in every war, just in about every second war. It causes me 9 pain, it really upsets me, when my Empire is falling apart because of a war that should have been finished a long time ago.

Well, then it seems the issue is well known. But it doesn't appear in the Known Issues thread

This same things is happening right now to me. I had 90k troops at start of war they had 6k. 2 other nations are fighting for other parts of my target enemy. Every time I take an area I actually LOSE war score. I'm down to 20k troops, have taken nearly all this guys lands but nope somehow I'm not winning.

And I can't save my game for some reason either
