Dutch Capitulation Event

[A-Train]

I am playing a round of the 33 scenario as Germany. It is now 5/9/1939, and I have conquered Poland, The Netherlands, France and Denmark. The Belgan annexation by the UK has happened as has the Vichy France events. The Netherlands provences all show as owned by me (not simply occupied). I keep getting "The Duth Capitulation" event, giving me their one transport, and the whole game freezes. I could swear I already got this even previously but I can't be 100% sure.

What are the requirements for this event to fire? Is there a way to short circuit it and stop it from killing my game? I really don't want to start over in 1933 again. Thoughts?

EDIT: Loaded game as Netherlands, they have 3 provs in Carib/S.America. The event fires for them and the game freezes the same as if I play Germany.

You could try and find the event, use # on the front of every line to delimit it, save and it won't fire?
To find the event, go to settings in main game menu, see the the line.. extra game logs... and put a 1 instead of a 0, save and restart the game, on stopping it will give you a list of all the events, yours will be at the bottom. Remember to put that 0 back when done...

That worked! Thanks! It sure saved me from having to start over in 1933 again...

Has anyone else experienced this bug?
I can't reproduce it. (Save game would help)

 

[DukoOsshiiKhan]

Yes, several times. I believe that _AC_ helped me to fix it though. I believe he has made note of it.

 

[Fernando Torres]

Savegame please

 

[DukoOsshiiKhan]

The savegame is no longer around. Instead he told me this:

Try the following. Find file Darkest Hour\Mods\Darkest Hour Full\db\events\UK.txt. Find event 2015001 BEL The Belgian Capitulation.
There you can read:

command = { type = secedearea which = GER value = Flanders } # Brugge - Benelux
command = { type = secedearea which = GER value = Wallonia } # Rotterdam - Benelux

Change them as follows:
command = { type = secedearea which = GER value = Flanders when = 1 } # Brugge - Benelux
command = { type = secedearea which = GER value = Wallonia when = 1 } # Rotterdam - Benelux

I SUSPECT this is the cause of the problem, but I am not sure, so perhaps it will not work. Let me know if it does.

 

[^_AC_^]

Yes, but without a savegame we can't check if it's the same problem (with the same fix).

 

[DukoOsshiiKhan]

Sorry, but I already said that I deleted the save game

I suppose it might have something to do with me not having annexed Luxembourg.

I suppose it might have something to do with me not having annexed Luxembourg.

Yes, there was such a bug, that is fixed in all known events and also is taken care of in the engine.

To avoid the problem in the future you can do one of the following:
1. Annex HOL/BEL/LUX when you have the chance when playing with Germany
2. Play with "tech team take over" option disabled
3. Edit events as suggested above
