Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
I had an abduction event which never completed when progress was full and therefore could not be cancelled.
The only way I found to fix it was to enable debug mode and either kill or abduct the target using the debug mode. That obviously disabled my achievement progress in the process.

Please explain how to reproduce the issue
Use the abduction scheme. Wait untill it reaches the 100%, "hope" it freezes.

Is there anything else you think could help us identify/replicate the issue?
I was successfully able to complete the scheme on a neighbouring ruler (dutchy-tier).

On the instances it froze:
-the target: was a distant (non-neighbouring) ruler (once - a queen and TWICE before - a pope)
-multiple agents were used in the schemes that froze

I'm potentially re-reporting this as I have no idea whether any progress has been made on the issue since the initial reports. Back in ~February 2020.

I have attached a save game
Yes

Same issue. This has been a problem since launch. Is this ever going to get fixed? I would really like to just play with intrigue for multiple playthroughs and generations if possible without it getting bugged out.
 
The bug is still happening with the Royal court DLC and it's update.

It can be fix by restarting the exact same scheme ( re right click on the abductable character and abduct again ). You'll loose a scheme, but at least your character is not fucked up.

Nevermind, sadly that fix works very occasionally. Paradox, help!
