Dutch succession War - please help

Hey guys, there fired an event for me - Dutch succession war. I guess it is Inheritance of Burgundy, as there is still burgundy..

Playing as Sweden, main enemies are Palatines.

Now, I have 100% warscore against them and there is no option "gimme the damn of Burgundy".

I am kind of lost, because I waged pretty huge war against Palatines, Austria, Cleves and Hungary and this war drained a lot of my resources (250 gold /all I had/, almost all of my manpower, big chunk of my army, a lot of WE and 3 years of game). And nothing from it, because I dont want lands in the middle of the Europe and my allies dont have claims on those lands. Also lost opportunities (get the Judea for 1000g and 40 prestige).

At the same time France took almost all the land of Burgundy and also the capital (what is the main goal, but I would need to break the truce and lose the stability to start war with them - at the same time, the capital is under siege by France).

I am playing without any expansion, the usual version of EU4, I think version 1.6.

What should I do? Is there any possibility to solve it that I get the Burgundy?

Wait, did France took provinces, as in "they took them in peace deal" or they are occupyin it? If they have it for their own, maybe You can simply annex Burgundy, and realease it as a Vassal?

The thing is that I dont have any claims or casus beli as Sweden, so I would lose 2 stability if I attack them without it. And also I went into this war because army of Burgundy was big and they had a lot of provinces at that time - now they lost 2 provinces to Liege, probably France will take another bite and there wont be a lot left for me, so there is no reason to go for -2 stability hit.

So You already finished the war? You wrote You have 100% WS against them.

I have 100% against Palatines and their alliance. It just turned February when the war finished, so I can replay 1 month before.

This war automaticaly started and its name is "dutch succession war" and the wargoal was "get capital Holland". But Burgundy was not involved in this war, it was me, Bohemia, Pomerania against Palatines, Austria, Hungary and Cleves. So I kind of didnt know what to do with the Holland, when Burgundy is not involved in the war.

That is the issue :)

That's a bug. As wolffrnd said, register the game, and post it in bug section. Right now, if You're not playing on ironman, then You can cheat Your way out of it. Or, You can just vassalize platinate/ whoever You can/want.
